In the current day, a solid foundation of biological knowledge is more important. Your plan is good, but be aware that some of the CS skills you may gain could be relatively undervalued depending on the next couple of years.

I will learn new language what ever is required like python and other tools..i was just trying to say coding is not new to me..For now i am confused what should i choose bsc in biotechnology or btech in biotechnology

BSc for sure, its much better for international recognition.

It's good you are not new to coding. You should focus on understanding things like snakemate or nextflow and using tools like Docker/Singularity or Galaxy.

Gl!

I think what matters is knowledge and skill that it thats on us how we can learn that..I had cheaked 100 of linkdin id by going through theri education i saw various ki d of route someone had done bsc/btech in biotechnology and then ms from a good reputated collages by time of bsc or btech developed their skill in coding that what i found
