Biomedical engineering: BME is a course which is basically electrical and electronics engineering and Instrumentation engineering concepts applied in medical field. All the instruments you see in hospitals are made and maintained by BME. So BME will mostly be working in hospitals or the instrumentation companies in R&D or other departments
Biotechnology: It is a very broad field under life sciences which encompass Biochemistry, molecular biology, biochemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, genetic engineering, food processing, bioinformatics and so on. It is basically a research oriented subject and on has to do their Ph.D. to specialize in a single domain and get recognised. If you don't want to do a PhD or you don't have the resources to do it you can get a work in a biotech company in production or lab work in some research lab. Which is better?
