Yes — besides LPU, VIT, Amity, and Manipal, there are several private colleges in India that offer B.Tech Biotechnology and have relatively good placement prospects, though biotech placements overall tend to be more modest than core CS/IT. Some worth considering include SRM Institute of Science and Technology (Chennai), which is known for biotech labs, industry tie-ups, internship opportunities, and decent recruiter interest; Shoolini University (Himachal Pradesh) which has strong industry collaborations and reports very high placement rates in biotech-related programs; ICFAI School of Life Sciences and Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT) in Hyderabad, which are private institutions with active placement cells and biotech industry connections in the biotech and pharma hubs of South India; and VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering & Technology (VNRVJIET), another Hyderabad-area engineering college with placements in biotech and allied sectors with respectable averages. Some other private universities that are often mentioned for engineering with research and industry exposure (even if not exclusively biotech) include Woxsen University, Parul University, and KIIT Bhubaneswar, which have broader engineering placement networks that can help biotech students transition into related fields like data/IT roles or biotech projects.
Keep in mind that biotechnology placements are often driven more by internships, industry projects, and personal skill sets than by brand alone, so actively building research experience and networking can significantly improve your job prospects.
