Science

Hello Prateek,
B.Sc actually stands for Bachelor of science, while BE stands for Bachelor of engineering.
A Bachelor of science degree is commonly recommended for any college degree that requires a student to complete three years of education.
It is the most common Bachelor's degree title, and it is provided by most universities and colleges.
On the other hand, BE is an undergraduate degree, that is awarded to a student who completes an engineering academic program, which lasts anywhere from four to five years.
B.Sc is mainly theoretical while B.E or B.tech focuses on both theoretical concepts and practical knowledge too.
BE undergraduate degree programs are more practically oriented. They are the complete inverse of B.Sc degree programs. Here, students do introduce and familiarize themselves to theories and principles, but also concentrate in applying these theories and principles in a practical manner, which would help them be more prepared when they go and join the corporate world.

Students who are interested in the field of Engineering, Technology and Biology will find this Branch attractive and suitable. It is because of the fact that this Engineering branch is a combination of both Engineering as well as Biology subjects.
Biotechnology is a rapidly developing field. Many private businesses are exploring this field and heavily investing in it. It is safe to say that there are ample job opportunities for B.E./B.Tech. Biotechnology Graduates in private sector. Government sector too offers job opportunities, but not in the scale in which private sector does. Average starting salary is generally between 2.4 to 5 Lakh Rupees per year.
Some prominent industries where Biotechnology professionals may find jobs are- Pharmaceuticals Industry, Healthcare sector, Chemical Industry, Agriculture sector, Food Processing and Technology as well as Research sector. Graduates may also take up teaching job (as lecturer) after completing M.E./M.Tech. program.

Hello,
Especially for B.Tech Biotechnology, you need to have the following skills to get a job offer:
1) You should have a good exposure to lab equipment and handling should be known with sound theoretical knowledge.
2) Should be able to apply for DBT (Department of Biotech, India) fellowship program in your fourth year starting itself. You will get a good exposure to handle all types of equipment under that fellowship. Where you will be sent to different biotech companies to get ready for a hands-on experience in labs.
3) Hands on experience of the following types of equipment is essential like HPLC, Gas chromatography, Fermentor (small scale), etc.
4) Should have the knowledge of GMP & GLP activities as per ISO standard.
My request is that you choose a good company in DBT training.
If you find yourself not up to mark in above areas, please try to skip to the management side immediately while thinking about GATE or M.Tech.
All the best.
