Biotechnology : New Growth Opportunities
Good degree and some research experience is needs to be part of a biotech culture focused on developing drugs for some of the worlds most serious diseases.
Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological system, living organisms, to make or modify products or processes for specific use. It combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines like chemical engineering, and information technology. It is applied to agriculture, food science, and medicine
Courses
There are various courses, including B.Sc,B.E, B.Tech, 5 year integrated B.Tech/ M.Tech)and post-graduate level (Msc/M.Tech). one can also pursue specialized courses at research level
Eligibility
To join a B.Tech course in biotechnology one must have a background in science, that is physics or agriculture, chemistry and biology at the intermediate level.
Some Universities offer the B.Sc Biotechnology which one can join after class 12 or equivalent examination, with physics chemistry, and mathematics.
Graduates in all science/engineering /medicine are eligible for the post-graduate (MSc.) course in biotechnology.
Admission
Selection to the graduate courses (BE/B.Tech) is based on merit i.e the marks secured in the final exam of +2 and through entrance exams.
Entrance to the IITs is through JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). Apart from the IITS some other famous institutes also recognize JEE scores for selection. For other institutions , it is through their own entrance examinations
Selection to the postgraduate courses (M.Sc/M.Tech)indifferent Universities is through an All India Combined Entrance Examination conducted by JNU, New Delhi and to IITs through GATE in two-year/4 semester M.Tech courses and through JEE in 5 Year integrated M.Tech courses in Biochemical engineering and Biotechnology

Job Prospects
Many opportunities exist in the private and public sector in the agrichemical , fertilizer and pharmaceutical processing industries. Industries dealing with tracking new energy sources and finding new methods of waste management also require the assistance of biotechnologists. They can also find employment in the R&D laboratories of government as well as private companies.
