• Biotechnology, as the name suggests, is a combination of biology and technology. In practical application, this means that scientists can use genetic technology to develop treatments for diseases and to beneficially alter the genetics of humans as well as other life forms. Biotech engineering is offered in few colleges, but is a good course nonetheless. Subjects are somewhat similar to those in Biomed, although it is more IT-centered than electronics-centered.

Job Prospects:

• As far as colleges in Mumbai are concerned, biotech engineers and biomedical engineers are treated much the same in terms of placements. So you could apply to hospitals, or wait for IT companies to come along and pick you up.
