Biotechnology

Hi,
Master of Technology In nanotechnology is a 2-year post-graduate programme provided for specialisation in nanotechnology. Any candidate with an undergraduate degree in engineering or technology can apply for this course. Admission into this course can be obtained by appearing for entrance exam like GATE. A nanotechnologist can easily find lucrative career opportunities in the following fields,
1. Agriculture
2. Environment industry
3. Food and Beverage
4. Genetics
5. Bio-technology
6. Forensic Science. M.Sc. Nanotechnology is better than forensic Science. An master graduate in nanotechnology can go for a job in forensic field but the opposite is very hard. Better will be nanotechnology. Regards.

Scope of Biotechnology for B.Tech students:
Any student who is contemplating on pursuing a career in Biotechnology must be aware that this field is still developing in India. Therefore, the number of job openings and pay packages are both very low when compared with IT and CS fields. After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs and institutions in India. However, most Indian students tend to go abroad to pursue their Masters or doctorate studies in Biotechnology and allied fields. Some students also shift to MBA and enter the world of business, finance and banking as their engineering background gives them the required quantitative skills to excel in these sectors. Also, many students shift to software through on-campus placements. Talking about on-campus placements, since the number of job openings is very less in Biotechnology, the number of companies coming for placements will be very less. Also, core companies only hire students from universities such as IITs, NITs etc. If your university is not reputed nationally or state wise, chances of any biotech or pharmaceutical company coming for placements sessions will be close to nil. Since this field is highly research oriented, vast and diverse, it is highly recommended that students pursue their graduate studies in Biotechnology, Biomedical sciences, Biological sciences, Bioprocess Engineering etc.
