Should I take a biotech PCT at DTU or a CSE at Assam University or any other private college? I have a keen interest in computer science but I want a good peer group and a good college life as well.
Choose the course you are interested in, as it will give you a comfort zone, once chosen the institute does not matter much.
- It is good to go for the brand value of universities, as they provide various opportunities later on.
- But you should not choose a branch only for the Institute.
- If you have an area of interest, you can go to any college.
- But it is better to opt for a course in a college which has a bit of a good reputation.
- When you sit for internships or placements, being from a related branch is preferred.
- You should keep all these in mind when you opt for any course anywhere.
If you are able to secure a seat in DTU, it should not be hard to get admission in a better college. So, you should try exploring other colleges preferably in the metros for the ease of networking and employment opportunities. Isolated colleges have their own flaws.
Can a student of Amity, Gwalior get a seat at Amity, Noida for biotechnology placements?
Yes, this is possible. Amity University has a centralized placement committee, the Amity Technical Placement Center (ATPC) along placement committees at every campus.
The Noida campus of the university hosts many top companies during its placement process and students across campuses participate in the process provided they have the invitation letters. There is no fixed seat.
As far as a Biotechnology course is concerned, then it has a very limited appeal among recruiters. However, you can still apply to various IT companies that visit the campus.
Being a student at Amity University Gwalior, you can definitely get a seat at Amity University Noida for placements, especially in the initial phase of placements. But it is always better to check with the relevant authorities to get a better picture and clarity about the various processes about the same.
Which is better: to get Biotechnology at IIT Kanpur or Mechanical Engineering at IIT Dhanbad?
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:

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.
Which is better, ECE in Pondicherry Engineering College or Biotech in Sastra?
It depends on where you want to live and study. If you are comfortable staying in Pondicherry and are interested in ECE, go with PEC, which is one of India's oldest institutes.
On the other hand, SASTRA University is a more recent private prestigious university and it has great infrastructure facilities and placement record. BioTech in Sastra has IT placements with a lot of companies whereas ECE in PEC has good placement but is not that great.
The table shows a brief overview of the institution:
| Particulars | PEC | SASTRA |
| Highest CTC | 10 LPA | 28.3 LPA |
| Average CTC | 4 LPA | 9.3 LPA |
| Fees | 3.77 LPA | 6.20 LPA |
You can opt for PEC as its fee is lower than SASTRA. However, go for it only if you are getting a seat in ECE. If not, SASTRA can be considered as a final option.
How is biotechnology department of Heritage Institution of Technology in terms of facilities quality management and placements compared to the other branches like CSE and ECE?
The faculty and the labs are excellent at Biotechnology Department. Placements are also good. You will find many students in this department who are really very serious and good in studies ie. better than many students of ECE and CSE.
Most probably the all-department topper in our first semester was from the Biotech department. You may take it if you are interested in this subject.
| Parameters | Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata |
| Tuition Fees | 4.04 lakhs |
| Placement Percentage | 70-80 % |
| Highest Package | 12 LPA |
| Average Package | 5-6 LPA |
In Heritage, placement means getting placed in the IT sector doesn't matter of any branch. Other branches can't be compared with others, as every branch has its own requirements.
Is Vignan University, Guntur a good college for a B.Tech in bioinformatics or a B.Tech in biotech? How good are the placements and scope for higher studies abroad?
All the private universities in India, except maybe 2–3, are trying their level best to establish themselves and Vignan is no exception. If you are considering joining the university then you should know the following.
- Fees are high so plan well before joining. For a 4-year long B.Tech, the total course fee is around 9 lakhs.
- Second, the syllabus keeps getting updated each year. This makes covering the syllabus, a bit tricky.
- The same faculty will set the question paper so I think getting through with good grades won't be an issue.
Finally, you should join biotech only if you wish to study MS abroad. Otherwise, don’t join the institute.
Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for EE or IIT Delhi for biotechnology?
I am a second year B.Tech EE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. EE and Biotech are both very different choices, but to make the decision easier for you, I am highlighting a few points about my college/branch-
IIT Bhubaneswar has a more modern infrastructure than IIT Delhi, as it is newly constructed.
IIT Bhubaneswar offers decent placements, and the EE faculty is qualified and experienced. The campus is away from the hustle and bustle of the city as it is located outside of Bhubaneswar.
Here are the placement details for B.Tech EE at IIT Bhubaneswar:
| Particulars | B.Tech EE at IIT Bhubaneswar (2023) | B.Tech Biotech at IIT Delhi (2023) |
|---|---|---|
| Average Salary | INR 19.05 LPA | - |
| Highest Salary | INR 44.62 LPA | - |
| Median Salary | INR 15 LPA | INR 20.50 LPA |
| Lowest Salary | INR 6.50 LPA | - |
| % Batch placed | 92.86 % | 87.69% |
If you are interested in EE, you must opt for IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is not as highly ranked as IIT Delhi, it will offer you good academics and placements in this field.
Which is a wise choice, civil engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar or biotech in IIT Delhi?
IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 17th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 Rankings. Civil Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar will be a good choice because it is one of the core engineerings. The institute has a placement percentage of 85% in the field of Civil Engineering. Students in these core engineering programs have received an average annual salary package of 15.8 lakhs per annum. The highest being 43.3 lakhs per annum. Companies like Tata Motors, TATA Steel, TATA Advanced Systems, L&T Pvt. Ltd., L&T Construction, etc have visited the campus for placement drive.
IIT Delhi ranks 2nd in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 Rankings. Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology in IIT Delhi has a significant role that was played by biochemical engineers and biotechnologists in future industrial development of biotechnology-related processes. Today, the Department provides a structure for an integrated approach towards education, research, and development of various bioprocesses. For MTech, the students must have a BTech in Chemical or Biochemical Engineering.
Biotechnology from IIT is a good option but there is not much scope in India but has more abroad. A student requires a good CGPA and maintains a good CV to land up a good consultancy job or admission at top MBA colleges. It is a five-year course and requires 1 extra year to complete BTech, unlike other Engineering programs. Placements are better abroad than in India and you can receive an average annual salary package of 7 lakhs per annum. The highest salary was 30-40 lakhs per annum.
So a civil Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar will be better for future to secure a job than Biotechnology from IIT Delhi.
