IIT Delhi ranks 2nd in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 Rankings. Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology in IIT Delhi has a significant role that was played by biochemical engineers and biotechnologists in future industrial development of biotechnology-related processes. Today, the Department provides a structure for an integrated approach towards education, research, and development of various bioprocesses. For MTech, the students must have a BTech in Chemical or Biochemical Engineering.
Biotechnology from IIT is a good option but there is not much scope in India but has more abroad. A student requires a good CGPA and maintains a good CV to land up a good consultancy job or admission at top MBA colleges.

Both are good options. If you have an inclination towards programming then choose CSE, otherwise, go for Mathematics and Computing. MnC at IITD is slowly becoming one of the hostess branches. As the trend indicates, it will become the first choice among IIT toppers in the coming years.
You will receive good placement opportunities in both IIT D and IIT BHU. CSE and MnC both have good job options in the same fields. The only difference is MnC students get placement offers from Mathematics and Finance fields too.
