Is a B.Tech in biotechnology a good option at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

B.Tech in Biotechnology offers a mixed curriculum covering areas of science, technology, and engineering. It also focuses on research. The Manipal brand may add to your profile but it depends on your interests. There are a plethora of opportunities in Industrial biotechnology & biochemical engineering whereas life science-oriented fields need more time. For more opportunities in that field, you will have to pursue a Masters.
