Food Technology

Hi,
B.Tech Food technology course deals with food engineering and food sciences. It provides in depth knowledge of the fields like food processing, food packaging, nutrition, storage etc. Any person who pursues this course gets the edge of being known as food scientist or food technocrat. The course has broad career prospects and provides with diversity of job profiles such as Food Scientist, Process Manager, Food Sales Representative etc. The top recruiters in the field of food technology include Department of Food and Public Distribution, FCI, Cadbury, Venkys, Hatsun etc. While B.Sc-Agri is a 4-year undergraduate degree involves the study of agriculture sciences and use of modern scientific equipment and techniques in agriculture, land surveying, soil Science, water resource management, animal, and poultry management, basics of biotechnology etc. The objective of the course is to use these concepts to train students to improve agricultural productivity. B.Sc. Agriculture Syllabus includes subjects such as Agronomy, Plant Biochemistry, Water Management Engineering, Study of Pests and Crops, amongst many others. The syllabus is designed to provide an overall knowledge of agriculture and all its related disciplines. B.Sc. Agriculture graduates can find jobs in both public and private sectors. The Gazetted post of Government of India as Agricultural Officer is one of the most prestigious jobs, In public sector after B.Sc. Agriculture. Agriculture officer, Assistant Plantation Manager, Agricultural Research Scientist, Agriculture Development Officers, Agriculture Technician, Agriculturists, Business Development Executive, Marketing Executive etc. Are some of the job profiles associated with the course. Hence, in my opinion, B.Sc-Agri can be the better option.

The top recruiters in the field of food technology include Department of Food and Public Distribution, FCI, Cadbury, Venkys, Hatsun, etc. While B.Pharma is a 4 year undergraduate programme which is compulsory for anyone who wants to practice as a pharmacist. B. Pharmacy is study of preparing and conferring drugs and medicines for a number of illnesses and deficiencies. After B. pharmacy and some Job experience one can apply for Drug Inspector and Pharmacist government Jobs exams. B.Pharma graduates are also eligible for SSC, UPSC, State PSC and bank jobs, etc. like other graduates. So in my opinion B.Pharma is better.

The course B.Tech in food technology is field specific course which introduces a person to food related technology and its specifications. It relates to the study of areas like packaging, nutrition, chemical balances of food, microbiology, etc. and provides a wider understanding of food products and food raw materials. Students also learn techniques such as food marketing, food processing, food and its related research methods. Agricultural Engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the study of agricultural process and technological practices in food processing and efficient production of food.
Agriculture is the largest participant in the Indian Economy. It is needless to say that a career in Agriculture in India is nothing but bright and shining. B.Tech in agricultural engineering deals with farm machinery, food processing, soil and water engineering. Both have extremely good scope, choose the stream based on your interest.

Hi,
B.Tech biomedical is dealing with engineering, technology and biological sciences to improve the quality of healthcare, medicine and human life. Biomedical engineers and scientists are responsible for developing, designing and improving medical devices and procedures for efficient diagnosis, operation and treatment of diseases and other health ailments. Biomedical engineering is still in the development stage in India and, therefore, scope is very limited for this field due to the lack of integration between research institutions, hospitals and universities in India. In India, most of the jobs related to biomedical engineering are in non-tech areas such as service, maintenance, customer support, sales and management. Students interested in pursuing a career in research and core development work in Biomedical Engineering must look for jobs in universities, labs and research centers in India or pursue MS and Ph.D. studies in USA, UK and other nations.
On other hand B.Tech food and agriculture are well established courses and provides good job opportunities in government and private sectors. These provides in depth knowledge of the fields like food processing, food packaging, nutrition, storage, etc. Any person who pursues this course gets the edge of being known as food scientist or food technocrat, Agri-business firms, food processing, agricultural research and development firms etc. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways. A career after civil engineering is highly rewarding. There are jobs that involve supervision, construction, design and analyzes of private as well as public projects, such as dams, highways, canals, water sewage and bridges. The profession demands excellent skills for both administration and supervision of projects. Hence I will go for last option as civil engineering.
