You can go for B.Tech in Food Technology.
It is a very advancing field and offering great career opportunities. So it’s a good decision to pursue B. Tech in food technology after 12th standard. Food Processing and Technology Engineering branch is a promising one.
Ample number of job opportunities are available in front of Graduates in Government as well as Private sectors. Competition for job posts is less, since there are relatively lesser number of Colleges offering this course and thus lesser number of students pursuing it. Thus, landing a good job is relatively easy, when it comes to Food Processing and Technology field.
Talking about Government sector, the Department of Food and Public Distribution is a well known recruiter. Within that Government agency, posts like Food Inspector, Quality Assurance Officers etc are available. State sponsored Food processing plants also are known to hire graduates.
The Private sector chips in with much more opportunities. Private Food Production firms, Processing plants, Storage and Preservation firms etc are known to recruit Graduates. Firms manufacturing Food Processing equipment and machinery also recruit graduates.
Popular Career Paths & Job Profiles in the Food Industry are:
- Research & Development (Food Scientist, Food Technologist, Food Chemist, Product Development Specialist)
- Quality Control & Assurance (Food Chemist, Food Inspector, Toxicologist)
- Food Processing (Food Processor, Process Development Specialist, Manufacturing Specialist, Food Production Manager)
- Sales, Marketing & Brand Management (various roles like other industries)
- Others (Dietician, Nutritionist, Animal Nutritionist, Diet & Fitness Counselor)
But the most important thing is that from where you are pursuing your degree. There are few renowned institutions like
- Desh Bhagat University,
-
- Lovely Professional University,
-
- Jaipur National University etc
-
that offer excellent learning atmosphere to its students. These universities also offer various skill development programs, professional enhancement training and outstanding exposure to its students. You should prefer the university or institute which offers you good placements and good practical, good scholarship scheme and industrial exposure also and should have good infrastructure also.
Hope it helps !!!
