Biotechnology as the name indicates is the branch of science which is a combination of biology and technology. This stream of science is the emerging field of study. It is a multidisciplinary branch of science. It involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses. B.Tech in Biotechnology is a branch of engineering that focuses on biotechnology and biological science and has its application in many fields such as environmental remediation, agricultural, pharmaceutical, chemical, etc.

Masters in biotechnology includes the detailed study of all the biological components and its applications. After completing the bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, the candidates have a wide range of options for their higher studies. They can apply for the master’s degree according to their personal interest. All the masters’ degree program will be of two years.

Higher studies option after B.Tech Biotechnology

The candidates can do their post graduate degree in India as well as in foreign countries. MS is a good choice for people who are interested in the field of research. It will help the candidate to increase their knowledge in that field. MS should be done in any foreign countries. To go for ME/M.Tech, the candidate should appear for the GATE exam. The candidate can appear for the GATE exam when they are in their third year of engineering. There is no limit to appear for the GATE exam. If the candidates want to go for MBA, they to appear for the CAT/MAT entrance examination to get a seat in top B-Schools of India. After completing the MBA, the aspirants can join any Drug manufacturing or marketing company. If the aspirant wishes to study in foreign countries they have to go through the GRE TOEFL examination. Only B.Tech and M.Tech or science graduates are eligible for JRF. Before appearing for the entrance exam the candidate has to work very hard to get qualified. After completing the master’s degree, the candidates will have a good career in this field. The candidates can go for research field also if they have interest.

There many institutes which offers masters degree in Biotechnology. Some of them are :

• IIT, Kharagpur
• Amity University
• Indian Institute of Science
• IIT, Delhi
• India Institute of Medical Sciences
• IIT, Kanpur
• IIT, Madras
• University of Rajasthan
• Jadavpur University
