B.E BIOTECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING
About
Biotechnology engineering combines technology and biological sciences to create or alter products to benefit
human health and society at large. In addition to healthcare, biotechnology is also employed in agriculture,
food production, environmental management, and industrial processes.

Career Scope
Addressing Global Challenges: A graduate in biotechnology engineering can implemen solutions for
worldwide challenges, including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. A biotechnology
engineering degree opens doors to careers in the development of new drugs, medical devices, and
diagnostic tools.

Career Opportunities: Graduates can work in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, food

processing, environmental management, and more.

Sustainable Agriculture: Graduates have the

opportunity to revolutionise the agricultural sector
as well. They can contribute to crop improvement, pest
resistance, and the development of bio-fertilizers.
