Hello Aspirant,

See it depends upon you where your interest is like if you are interested in programming, coding, problem solving then it is good to be with computer engineering and also if you are seeking placement by just completing B.Tech. then definitely computer engineering would be the good choice for you but if you are neither placement oriented nor have any specific interest in coding, computers, etc. but have interest in fooding sector like cooking solving different problems of food industry and likewise then you should go with food technology.

If we talk about career aspects then definitely computer engineering will take higher edge because there are various companies or MNCs that hire computer science engineers a lot and also there is much demand of that too but unlike computer engineering, food technology has not yet evolved that much and also for now there are not that much career option in fooding sector but yes if you are interested in some start-up sort of thing then definitely you can go with food technology path and can start your own company or your own start-up so with food technology the path is going to be little harder towards the successful career but will be much brighter if you could make the one.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

After completing a BSc in IT, the average salary offered is INR 2LPA.

After completing B-Tech in food technology, the salary offered is INR 4.25 to 10LPA.

BCA and BSc both are 3 years undergraduate courses while B-Tech is a 4-year undergraduate course.

Hope now you have an option in your mind for the future as salary plays an important role in this field. Thank you.

If you want to go for the Government sector then you need to give some sort of examinations. After Food technology, the scope in the technical sector is lower but still you can start preparing for the GATE examination which can give you job offers regarding the Food Safety Office. If you wish to go for the non-technical fields then you can surely appear for the :

• SSC CGL
• UPSC CSE
• BANKING EXAMINATION
• RRB NTPC
• STATE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION
• STATE PSC

Hello Aspirant,

Yes , BTech Food Technology deals a lot with chemistry and biology because the syllabus of this course deals with various topics  like  food preservation, constituents , nutritional value of Food , Food processing , Food Biochemistry  ,Biochemistry of processing and preservation ,Food microbiology and various other topics which includes basic knowledge of Chemistry and Biology.

You should not worry about this even if you are not very strong in these subjects as you only need basic understanding(class 11 and 12) and you will have a sufficient  time to learn chemistry and biology during your course .

Hope this helps.
