I, Raghu, am studying biotechnology. I am going to face an interview in the next couple of months. Actually, I am switching from biotechnology to software. So, I would like to know the answers for "Why biotechnology?" and "Why software?" during my HR round.

You are shifting from Bio to software. There must have been some reason for this shift. What ever motivated you to take this shift needs to be explained in logical fashion.

Actually, I would like to answer like this: "I love software as well as biology, but ultimately, I want to be in the software field. So, to include biology in my academic path, I have chosen biotechnology. Even in biotech, there is a subject called bioinformatics which deals with computer software, and the first-year students of all respective branches have common subjects like C languages. On the other hand, we have an elective system where we can choose a few subjects from the CSE branch."
Is this enough? As an HR professional, how would you react after listening to this, Sir/Ma'am?

Should be okay enough. The confident way you speak will make a difference. The link between your two interests should be spelled out. Be more informed on bioinformatics in-depth view. The way you answer questions, demeanor, and confidence as a whole will help. No single question will determine your success in the interview. What type of job have you applied for?

Dear colleague,
If you emphasize that you see a lot of opportunity in applying the knowledge gained in bioinformatics to biotechnology or the medical field in general, it will be more convincing.

I would suggest you do some research into how software engineering can support development and innovation in the biotech industry and what you can bring to the table by combining your interest in both.
The onus is on you to sell this idea to the employer and give them a compelling reason to hire you. You will be competing with other candidates, so use this as a unique selling point that the other candidates don't have.
