M.E (Biotechnology) Course Suitability

• They should have a scientific aptitude and a keen interest in the biological sciences.
• Applicants should be methodical and patient by nature, able to work neatly and accurately, and have a flair for laboratory work.
• The ability to work independently is another important aspect for it; the ability to use computers in work is very important and biotechnologist needs the certain skill of problem-solving, information technology skill, analyzing, and interpreting skills.

How is M.E (Biotechnology) Course Beneficial?

• Biotechnology engineering graduates typically begin their careers in technical roles in the biotechnology industry and progress rapidly to managerial positions.
• They are employed in the environmental sector for bio-treatment and bioremediation of various kinds of wastes.
• Biotechnologists work in industries producing food, chemicals, bio-processed products, etc.
• They are involved in research in genetics, biochemistry, and biochemical engineering and all areas where these processes are implied. Industrial R&D covers areas such as chemical processes, an increase in productivity, waste, and pollution management. Some industries employ biotechnologists in their marketing department to develop business in the sector where their product would be most required.
• The course is also beneficial for further studies such as M.Phil., Ph.D., etc.
• The program provides not only the opportunity for extensive, cutting-edge scientific training, but also the opportunity to examine the legal, social, and economical sides of biotech.
