[Kiran Chandar]

According to me both the course have good scope in future, but If you are interested in research work then Microbiology, other then go with Biotechnology.

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring by-products.

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are microscopic, unicellular, and cell-cluster organisms.
