B.Tech degree in biotechnology encompasses both the biological sciences as well as the engineering aspect of biotechnology. The B.Tech curriculum will cover life sciences subjects such as: 1. Microbiology. 2. Molecular biology. 3. Genetics. 4. Cell biology, etc. and engineering subjects like: 1.) Bioprocess engineering. 2.) Biochemical engineering. 3.) Thermodynamics. 4.) Mass Transfer, etc. A BSc degree on the other hand focuses more on the biological sciences aspect of biotechnology. Yes, there will be a few subjects (1 or 2) related to industrial processes but the main emphasis will be on R&D in biological sciences fields such as: 1. Biochemistry. 2. Plant and animal biotechnology. 3. Microbiology. 4. Molecular biology and 5. Microbial genetics to name a few.
