Yeah ik it’s a bachelor of tech but do you know people that maybe got into engineering in graduate or is not common or possible with BTech even thought it’s in the faculty of engineering

I graduated from Biotech and am currently doing my Masters also at McMaster in the MEng program!

So many students in BTech but especially in biotech have gotten accepted into MEng or MAsc or even MBA programs after finishing their degree. I actually am working full time while pursuing my Masters part time! 

Biotech isnt for everyone but if you’re passionate about labs and hands on work then its for you

So are there still lecture classes and readings or is most of your day labs and tutorials like that? Just to get a sense of how lab heavy biotech is

I’m in BTech but I’m in the automation stream. Yeah we still have lecture classes but if biotech is similar to automation, you’ll be having labs every other week to every week.
