Scope and Career in Biotechnology:

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine, and other fields requiring bio products. Biotechnology also utilizes these products for manufacturing purposes. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies.

Biotechnology is one of the most emerging fields. Having wider scope in India and overseas too. Many students, after completion of B.Sc in Biotechnology remains in dilemma related to the opting of the higher courses.

To guide the students about this emerging field with proper career opportunities, I have given few details which will help the students

in getting their required information.

After completion of B.Sc Biotechnology, few short term courses in this field are:

• Advanced Diploma in Biotechnology
• Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research & Regulatory Affairs, Biotechnology Training
• Certificate Program in Clinical Research
• Diploma in Biotechnology.

Some of the courses for the students for higher studies after the completion of their graduate studies are:

• Master of Technology in Biotechnology
• Integrated PhD courses
• Master of Philosophy in Biotechnology
• Master of Science in Applied Biotechnology
• Master of Science in Zoology (Animal Biotechnology)
• Master of Science in Biotechnology
