Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Biotechnology) From NIT Calicut, Calicut

Biotechnology is a research-oriented course and getting a job is not easy. If you are looking for a core job after completing B.Tech in Biotechnology, then you may face a struggle. Though the NIT tag will help you a lot in looking for opportunities and it is not completely impossible.

To open your options, you can go for higher studies after your graduation. Countries like the UK, Canada, and the US have considerably more scope than India in the domain of Biotechnology. You can pursue a Master’s in domains like Genetic Engineering, Food Technology, Soil Technology, Biomedical Engineering, etc.

The biotechnology department in NIT Calicut requires reforms in terms of faculty, students, industrial and research exposure, and lab work. It can only help with the NIT tag if you are applying to foreign universities.

My brother used to be a student of NIT Calicut and his favorite teacher was Prof Prem Raj P from the School of Biotechnology, NIT Calicut. He has an analytical mind and is a master at problem-solving. 

He is an exceptional teacher in the department. He is a very hardworking person who takes the responsibility of creating a competitive environment for everyone to thrive. He made teaching very effective by explaining the concepts in a more interactive way and made the classes interesting. He has the skills to be a team leader and is a role model for the students. 

He has brought changes in curricular and innovation in life science programs and he is very ethical at work. He also made excellent contributions to the course by sharing his insights and actively participating in discussion.
