For students who have engineering aptitude along with an equal amount of interest in biological sciences, Biotechnology engineering has emerged as the perfect subject of study. As a subject, Biotechnology blurs the line between engineering and medical sciences by combining the subjects of biology and other core physical sciences with the help of engineering principles. In general, the subject of biotechnology touches upon different subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering along with biological sciences.
Today, biotechnology has emerged as one of the fastest growing engineering domains with excellent academic and professionals opportunities on offer. Academically, students interested in taking up Biotechnology engineering can do so after completing their Class 12 Board Exams with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as core subjects. Many reputed engineering colleges offer B.Tech in biotechnology as an academic offering to the students. Admissions to B.E Biotechnology Engineering courses are generally offered through engineering entrance examinations like JEE Advanced / JEE Mains. In terms of further studies, students can opt for research laboratories to pursue M.Tech and doctorate level studies in biotechnology engineering.
The subject of biotechnology has come to the forefront as an academic subject only in the last decade. Therefore, not many educational institutes offer Biotechnology engineering courses as a study option to the students. However, due to the evolutionary nature and rising demand of trained and qualified biotech engineers in the market, many biotechnology engineering institutes have come up in India today. The top among them are listed below:
