After completing B.Tech in
Biotechnology, Biotech Engineers get confused to choose an MBA or M.Tech course
in Biotechnology. They ask questions to their seniors, relatives, and
teachers like which is better MBA or M.Tech after B.Tech, who earns more MBA or
M.Tech, what is the salary after M.Tech, etc. but not get a suitable answer
from them.
In this article, we describe,
which course is a better option for Biotechnology Engineers either MBA or
M.Tech in Biotechnology.
For the BSc Biotechnology
graduates, this question does not much arise because they prefer to do MSc
Biotechnology after the BSc but for every engineering student, this is a very common problem to deciding a better course for them. This is due to the
engineering students both courses are suitable but it fully depends on them
which field of interest in which area of Biotechnology he will want to make a
career.
Going to the core field in
Biotechnology after doing M.Tech or choosing an MBA for opening new areas doors of
management. Both courses are two different roads where Biotech engineers walk
as per their field interest after completing their B.Tech in Biotechnology. A Biotech engineer can choose also the core MBA and MBA in Biotechnology also.

MBA or M.Tech
MBA or M.Tech courses are both purely professional courses and are always in demand in the market. Both courses
are offered by the top-level institutes of India like IITs and IIMs all over
India. Both courses are the best option for engineering students that
enhances their skills and knowledge. There are no problem-related job prospects
after completing these courses in India or abroad.
As the name, Master of Business
Administration (MBA) is a management course where students learn about the
management skills required to run the Industries and companies smoothly. MBA
will increase your reading, writing, communication, personal, and interpersonal
skills. Master in Technology (M.Tech) is a core technical course where students
learn the various technologies used in Industries and companies to develop
or manufacture new products.
Field of Interest in Biotechnology
If you have done B. Tech in
Biotechnology then it is clear you had an interest in Biotechnology. Now after
B.Tech you want to continue or not it purely depends on your interest level. If
you did not interest more now in the core field of Biotechnology and do not want
to move to research-oriented courses then you can choose MBA in Biotechnology.
You can do a normal MBA also like in Marketing, Operation Management, etc.
If your interest is more increased
after doing B. Tech in Biotechnology and you want to do continue it the M Tech
in Biotechnology is more suitable for you where you learn developing new
technologies and products. M Tech in Biotechnology course gives you more
technical skills and subject knowledge that will help you if you choose the academic field in institutes.
Mode of MBA or M.Tech Course
M Tech in Biotechnology is a purely
practical, technical, and researched-based course so M.Tech in Biotechnology is
not available generally in part-time or distance mode. You have to do M.Tech in
Biotechnology as a regular course and attend the classes regularly with practicals.
MBA is a management course that can
be done part-time and distance mode with a job also. But it will be more beneficial
in regular mode course by attending classes regularly. MBA in part-time mode is also offered by very reputed institutes that provide quality content and
maintain it.
Career scope of MBA or M.Tech in Biotechnology
It is more beneficial before
choosing any course you search its career scope in current scenarios and demand
in industries or markets. MBA in Biotechnology is a new course and less in
demand than the regular MBA courses. So if you plan to do an MBA course choose your specialization carefully?
M.Tech is a traditional course
but Biotechnology is new in comparison to other engineering branches so there
are also limited Biotech companies in India.

Main Fields of MBA or M.Tech in Biotechnology
After completing a regular MBA
you can switch to fields of Banking, management, finance, consultancy,
agri-management, corporate management, academics, sales, marketing, and the HR
world.
M.Tech Biotechnology cover mainly
industry-related research, Biotech or Biomedical engineering equipment,
academics, etc.
Entrance Exams for MBA or M.Tech Biotechnology
All IIMs (Indian Institute of
Management) offer MBA courses in different branches. They conduct the CAT entrance
exam for selecting the best students.
M.Tech in Biotechnology is currently
not offered by all IITs (Indian Institute of Technology). Only a few IITs offer
M.Tech in Biotechnology and IITs conducted the GATE entrance exam for taking
admission in these courses.
Who Earns More MBA or M.Tech?
Almost every student wants to
choose that course for studying that provides more earnings than another course.
In comparison to earning both courses are almost nearby but more accurately
MBA degree holder earns more than the M.Tech Biotechnology scholars. Job
opportunities for the MBA scholar are more than the M.Tech scholar that why for
MBA professionals there is more job switching opportunity.
Conclusion
If you read the above article
carefully you will find out that both courses have some merits and demerits. But the selection of these courses purely depends on you. You again read this post and
find out the answer to your question about which field you like most and want to do
specialization in it. MBA vs. M.Tech is an endless debate topic in academics for the students so choose in it what is most suited to you.

and MBA together is not possible to pursue together in India because both are
postgraduate courses and you have to submit documents of your undergraduate
course in one of the institutes where you take admission.
Q. Why pursue an MBA after M.Tech Biotechnology?
Ans. Biotechnology
companies are very few so there are few opportunities for the M.Tech Biotech
professional. After doing an MBA, lots of new job opportunities will be available
for you. You can switch in technical management, operational and marketing
fields of Biomedical, herbal, pharmaceutical, FMCG, etc companies.
Q. Which course is costly MBA or M.Tech Biotechnology?
