What is a better option, NIT Durgapur for chemical or NIT Rourkela for biotechnology?
NIT Rourkela now is the country's second-best NIT. It is well equipped with great laboratory facilities. NIT Durgapur is behind Rourkela's facilities and infrastructure.
Now to biotech versus chemistry. Biotech is a new area and currently evolving. You will have good research and higher education opportunities if you study in this area. You can do a lot of research in this area. As far as investment is concerned, it is much less important because there is less core business.

It's a strong branch when it comes to chemical engineering. It is also a strong area if you are involved in science or higher research. More industrial than biotech is applicable in this area. Statistics are higher than biotech during the placement process. Like many good recruiting firms around the world. There are Govt employees, too. The most Maharatna companies in this sector, big government companies like IOCL, HPCL are some of the popular ones.
Biotech is the best for you if you want to study and investigate. Many explorable areas. NIT Rourkela offers the best biotechnology laboratory facilities. For biotechnology, this is the best NIT. It's not successful placing-wise. Key firms are much lower, only non-core firms must be reliant. It's fine MoUs for Nit Rourkela. Too fine faculty. You are highly trained and experienced. If you maintain a good CGPA, you can also have good international internships.
Which course is better to choose. BS Agribusiness management in TNAU or Btech Biotech at Bannari Amman institute of technology?

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.

Is biotechnology in UIET Chandigarh any good?
Your willingness to pursue this particular stream should be the sole reason you opt for it. It should not be based on anyone’s opinion. Every stream is unique in its own way.
Biotechnology is a tough choice as there are not many opportunities available to its students in India. If you are expecting good placement opportunities after finishing this course from UIET, then you will be disappointed.

What should I take among IIT Delhi textile, IIT Kharagpur biotechnology, and IIT Guwahati engineering physics?
The choice of college and branch totally depends on your inclination and career prospects. Yet, a few pointers you might consider
For MBA/ non-core jobs/Startups: IIT Delhi Textile is the best choice if you are looking for any 3 of these options. Its excellent location provides enough exposure to give you access to unimaginable opportunities. Many events hosted by industry experts, CEOs of big companies, and successful entrepreneurs will give a better insight into the startup culture. Moreover, students preparing for competing exams can easily access coaching centers nearby.
Research in Biotechnology: If you are interested in research in general or Biotechnology specifically, then the Biotechnology at KGP is an excellent choice. It is one of the most demanding fields in terms of research and general growth. With a good CGPA, you can find a research internship or you can apply for MS or Ph.D. Even job opportunities are plentiful.
Campus: IIT Delhi is better because of its small size and location
Lastly, Engineering Physics from IIT Guwahati should be considered only if you are genuinely passionate about Physics and want to pursue a research career in the same. The curriculum comprises high-tech mathematical concepts and is a good option to pursue a career in economics and computer science.
I am getting computer science engineering at GNDU Amritsar and biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. Which one should I prefer?
The choice mainly depends on the individual as both disciplines are entirely different. Firstly decide if you want a career in the corporate industry or not. Biotechnology is a very good subject with numerous opportunities, but it lags a bit behind in the Indian market.
On the other hand, there is a huge demand for CSE graduates both in India and abroad. Due to the immense popularity of and sudden rise of IT firms, there are many opportunities. You will never have to struggle to get a job in a reputed company.
Placements are better for CSE graduates than Biotechnology graduates. Choose the one that suits your interest.
