Ques. Which is better: to get Biotechnology at IIT Kanpur or Mechanical Engineering at IIT Dhanbad?

● Top Answer By Shreya on 16 Jul 24

Ans. IIT Kanpur does not offer biotechnology. Instead, it offers a B.Tech in Biological sciences & Bioengineering.  This stream deals with Biochemistry, Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Biosensors, Devices & Technology, Bone Disease Biology, Cancer Biology, Cell & Molecular Biology, Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, Genetics and Developmental Biology, Human Molecular Genetics, Neuroscience & Neurobiology and Structural Biology.  The faculty of IIT Kanpur are among the best in the world.  Here is a comparison between IIT Kanpur and IIT Dhanbad: Parameters IIT Kanpur BSBE (2024, Phase 1 placements)  IIT Dhanbad Mechanical (2023 placements)  Placement % 50 83.52 Highest Package  - INR 52 LPA Average Package  INR 13.8 LPA INR 14.74  Median Package INR 14.7 LPA - Top Campus Recruiters Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Texas Instruments, etc. Tata Motors, Hero, Maruti Suzuki, FMC, TATA Steel, Vedanta, JSW, etc. Important Topics in Curriculum https://www.iitk.ac.in/new/biological-sciences-bioengineering https://people.iitism.ac.in/~academics/assets/manuals/ug2223.pdf Course Fee INR 1.96 Lakhs (for 1st year) INR 1.32 lakhs (semester-wise) Both the branches are very different from each-other. Bioengineering is inclined towards Biology, while Mechanical Engineering makes greater use of Physics. But since IIT Kanpur is a much more reputed institution, and it has a bigger brand name, I would suggest you choose Bioengineering at IIT Kanpur.  The IIT Kanpur tag will help you get admission into top universities in India and Abroad for your Masters’ and Phd. This branch will open numerous opportunities for you in the area of research. Read more

Ques. Is biotech better than mechanical engineering?

● Top Answer By Rohan Yadav on 05 Apr 24

Ans. While choosing an engineering branch you should consider your career goals, interests and inclination. Both these branches have different scope and objectives. Mechanical engineering deals with designing and manufacturing mechanical systems, and Biotech combines Biology and Technology for development in areas like healthcare, agriculture, and environmental conservation. It is important for you to go through the curriculum of both these branches to decide which one better suits your interests and long term goals. Mechanical will offer you job opportunities in the automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, and manufacturing sector. After Biotech you can work in the Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, and agricultural sector. It is up to you to analyze the potential and market demand for both these branches.  If you are skilled in Maths, Physics, Problem-solving, and Design, you can opt for Mechanical. On the other hand, Biotechnology requires an understanding of Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Lab Techniques, and Data Analysis. Biotechnology is constantly making new innovations in fields like genetic engineering, drug development, and bioprocessing. This choice is highly subjective, and completely depends upon your own interest. Both these fields are making rapid progress in their own manner. You have to ultimately decide which one is more in line with your own aspirations.Read more
