Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the exploitation of natural resources at the microbial and molecular level to produce a product of improved quality for the benefit of mankind. It's a blend of biological concepts and technology. It's still a niche area in India. Work profile in this field is mainly related to research work, the work of Bio technologists is interdisciplinary in nature which requires working together with scientific researchers from disciplines such as microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, chemistry, food science, agriculture and engineering with other inputs from managers, economists, politicians, policy makers, legislators etc.

Hi Sapna,
Scope for Higher Studies after B.Tech in Biotechnology
It is better to qualify the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) after B.Tech in Biotechnology to pursue Master of Engineering or Master of Technology courses as most of the institutes demand GATE score for admission. After completing this two year post graduation course, one can pursue Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy course in different fields of biotechnology. Different higher studies options available after B.Tech in Biotechnology are given below.
Master of Engineering in Bio-informatics
Master of Engineering in Biotechnology
Master of Technology in Biotechnology
Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Bio-process Engineering
Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering
Master of Technology in Industrial Biotechnology
Post Graduate Diploma in Ethics and Biotechnology
Master of Philosophy in Biotechnology
Doctor of Philosophy in Bioinformatics
Doctor of Philosophy in Bioresources and Biotechnology
Doctor of Philosophy in Biotechnology
Other Certification Courses after B.Tech in Biotechnology
It is better to do a certificate course after completing B.Tech in Biotechnology to easily get job in the field of biotechnology. Different certification courses available in the field of biotechnology field are given below.
Certificate in Advanced Biotechnology
Certificate in Biotechnology and Plant Tissue Culture
One year is needed to complete the certificate course in advanced biotechnology while only six months is enough for completing the certificate course in biotechnology and plant tissue culture.
All the best.

Hi,
Biotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field that combines biological sciences with engineering technologies to manipulate living organisms and biological systems to produce products that advances healthcare, medicine, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and environment control.
Biotechnology course is all about using concepts of Biology for tweaking and modifying biological systems, cell structures, biological processes etc so that they can be used in Engineering and Technology related applications to improve and enrich various sectors such as healthcare, food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals etc and solve problems arising in these sectors.
Indraprastha University may be good for pursuing B.Tech Biotechnology but since India is still developing, it is highly recommended that you do your B.Tech Biotech in a reputed institution for good campus placements and job opportunities. If your university is not reputed, chances of any biotech company coming for placements will be zero.
I would like to recommend you that you should pursue your B.tech Biotech from a well renowned, reputed nationally or state wise university, in which chances of any biotech or pharmaceutical company coming for placements sessions are higher as compare to the institute which is not that much well reputed and re renowned. I would like to recommend you some best universities for biotechnology course like Manav Rachna University, Sharda University, Lovely Professional University etc. You should prefer the university or institute which offers you good placements and good practical, good scholarship scheme and industrial exposure also and should have good infrastructure also.
