I will suggest you to go for B.Sc./B.Tech Biotechnology, as biotechnology is more diverse field compared to microbiology. As correctly defined by UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2, “Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use". Once you will start your course you will be introduced different streams of Biotechnology such as Animal cell culture, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Embryology, Genetics, Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Biochemical Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Molecular Biology. After completing your course you could decide whether you would like to stay in research or would you like to go for MBA. If you decide to go for MBA, then there is a course in University of Pune named MBA in Biotechnology or else you can go for a plain MBA. But, if you decide to go for M.Sc. then you can go for biotechnology, bioinformatics, computational biology, marine biology, molecular medicine, molecular biology, genomics, genetics, animal biotechnology, plant biotechnology or biochemical engineering. After M.Sc. either you can for PhD or you can join biotechnology industry.
