Biotechnology

I will suggest you to go for B.Sc./B.Tech Biotechnology, as biotechnology is more diverse field compared to microbiology.
As correctly defined by UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2, “Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use". Once you will start your course you will be introduced different streams of Biotechnology such as Animal cell culture, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Embryology, Genetics, Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Biochemical Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Molecular Biology.
After completing your course you could decide whether you would like to stay in research or would you like to go for MBA. If you decide to go for MBA, then there is a course in University of Pune named MBA in Biotechnology or else you can go for a plain MBA.
But, if you decide to go for M.Sc. then you can go for biotechnology, bioinformatics, computational biology, marine biology, molecular medicine, molecular biology, genomics, genetics, animal biotechnology, plant biotechnology or biochemical engineering. After M.Sc. either you can for PhD or you can join biotechnology industry.

Biotechnology assimilates in itself a number of disciplines. Further, there is a great demand for biotechnical experts in countless industries and sector.
The following are applications where biotechnological techniques are used extensively:
1. Agriculture.
2. Animal husbandry.
3. Environment conservation.
4. Genetic engineering.
5. Health care.
6. Medicine.
7. Industrial research and development.
Career opportunities for students in biotechnology abound. Those specializing in different sub-disciplines of this field can easily find jobs in both private and government sector undertakings. If you have acquired a post-graduate degree in biotechnology, then you can easily find a suitable position in a number of industries.
Major recruiters include industries engaged in processing and developing agricultural and biological products, bio-processing industries, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. There are ample opportunities in industries producing healthcare products, textile industry, cosmetics and organizations engaged in different types of industrial research and development.
These days a growing number of qualified biotechnical professionals are engaged by different industries for environment protection activities and for the safe disposal of hazardous materials.
Pay scale:
The pay scale largely depends on your academic qualification, your area of specialisation and the institution from where you have earned your degree. Fresh graduates in this field can generally bag a monthly salary in the range of Rs.8,000 to Rs.20,000.

Hello,
Thanks for Asking.!!!
After completing B.Tech. in Biotechnology, the career scope is really good.
Companies like McKinsey, IBM, Evalueserve, Wipro, TCS, Deloitte etc hire biotechnology consultants for market research, knowledge process outsourcing, Audits, R&D etc.
You can apply for these companies.
You can also try to get a job as Laboratory Assistant, greenhouse & Field Technician, Production Engineer, Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer etc.
The Career in Industrial Research and Development is really good for Bio technology Students.
You can apply for CSIR NET Exam to pursue your career further as a Junior Research Fellow or an Assistant Professor.
