Based on current trends, I’d say the biggest challenge for biotech students today is likely:

-Too much theory, less practical

Biotechnology is a highly practical field, and students often struggle to gain sufficient hands-on experience and industry-relevant skills. This can make it difficult for them to transition smoothly into the workforce or apply their knowledge in real-world settings.

Without real-world interaction—internships, live projects, or hands-on lab work—students often graduate with theoretical knowledge that doesn’t match industry demands. Bridging this gap is essential to build confidence, skill, and employability.

  • As a biotechnology study in India you won’t get much wet lab experiences because of low quality labs in colleges .

  • Students have no knowledge of how to get into different biotech firms .

  • The students should be trained skillfully which unfortunately is not what most colleges are doing presently .
