Hi Sir Getting IIT KGP Biotechnology and IIT Kanpur Biosciences and Bioengineering Which to choose ?

Ans: IIT Kharagpur’s B.Tech in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering places 70–80% of its graduates through over 300–500 annual recruiters, with 1,000–1,600 offers in 2024 and cutting-edge research in genetic engineering, bioprocess technology, and molecular biology, backed by #5 NIRF Engineering rank for 2024 and multidisciplinary lab facilities. IIT Kanpur’s Biological Sciences & Bioengineering secures about 85% placement rates with 250+ recruiters—including technology and core biotech firms—via a curriculum integrating systems biology, biomedical devices, and dual-degree pathways, supported by #5 NIRF position in Engineering and strong research collaborations. While Kharagpur offers broader biochemical engineering internships and PSU tie-ups, Kanpur excels in bioinstrumentation and computational biology emphasis. Recommendation: Prefer IIT Kanpur for its higher placement consistency in a focused bioengineering program, with IIT Kharagpur as a backup for its robust biochemical engineering infrastructure and diverse industrial connections. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
