A sudden boom in biotechnology is quite evident and credit for this f\goes to all the information that has been generated during the span of last five decades and the importance of biotechnology is in front of our eyes.
Biotechnology can be defined as a research oriented science which is a blend of biology and technology. It comprises a good number of subjects in it such as genetics, biochemistry, immunology, chemistry, engineering, health and medicine, cropping system, soil conservation and plant and seen technology to name few.
It is fundamentally, the optimization of living things particularly cells and bacterial during the industrial processes.
Eligibility Criteria for B.Tech Biotechnology
You must have passed 10+2 or graduation in Science stream with fairly good marks from a recognized school/education institution or college.
Career Prospects
With the explosive growth of biotechnology, it is not very hard to get a good job in this field if you have been successful in your study. You have various options to choose from such as researcher, administrator, breeder and marketing manager or you can pursue your career in teaching line.
You can get good job in research labs which are run by both private and public sector. Companies related to bio-tech such as aquaculture, agriculture and pharmaceuticals are the good place to look for a nice job.
Remuneration
A fresh pass out IIT can get anything between Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 90,000 annually. However, the salary increases with increase in experience.
