r/FoodTech

Hi everyone. I'm a Class 12 PCB student from Hyderabad and I'm trying to decide between Food Technology and Biotechnology. I enjoy biology and genetics, but I don't enjoy maths much and I'm not sure whether I'd enjoy spending my whole career in a lab. Recently I've become interested in food safety, food ingredients, nutrition, and how food products are made.

I'd love to hear from current students or graduates:

What are the most important subjects in Food Technology?

How much chemistry, maths, and lab work is actually involved?

What does a typical day in college and later in a job look like?

What kind of students enjoy this course the most?

What are the realistic career opportunities and starting salaries after graduation?

Any honest advice would be really helpful. Thanks!
