Vennila Asked on - Jun 02, 2025 I have got admission in VIT vellore Btech Biotechnology and Christ University bsc Biotechnology. Which should I opt

Ans: HI,
You can proceed with the B.Tech in Biotechnology at VIT. Generally, the B.Tech program lasts four years, while the B.Sc program is three years. I'm not sure which option you preferred at Christ University—was it the B.Sc or the B.Sc (Hons)?

If you preferred the B.Sc (Hons), I recommend comparing the syllabi of both colleges to see which curriculum has a stronger focus (flavor) on biotechnology. Whichever program emphasizes biotechnology more, you should select that specific college.
BEST WISHES.

Career

Sorry sir. Dear sir, I am getting admission in following private universities in Pune for BTech CSE, can you please rank them? Pimpri Chinchwad University(PCU) DY Patil International University DES Pune University Ajeenkya DY Patil University. My father is saying go to Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur, but I don't want to go there because it is very far from any metropolitan area and will limit opportunities or extra curricular activites. I like coding, I don't like physics and chemistry.

Ans: HI d,Since you have chosen your branch, you need to select an institution or university. Please go through their websites and compare the facilities, such as faculty, labs, and syllabus. Additionally, check if they encourage students to learn both hard and soft skills. This will help you be employable by the end of the course; otherwise, you might end up wasting your time, money, and a year. So, please consider my suggestions for your comparison.
CODING IS LESS SCOPE. SO YOU CAN AVOID AND PREFER SOME OTHER FIELD.
