Education and Career Forum

Iam a student of grade 12 in cbse and have chosen bio math as my stream. I would like to know more about biotechnology as a career and its scopes in India and abroad. Is it better to do genetic engineering, or first complete biotech. and then post graduate in genetics?

how to good bio-technology is the career?scope in India and abroad?

after doin my b.sc biotech, what kind of jobs i'll get at what salary?

Biotech is a research oriented course. so one who want to continue his career as researcher can opt for this.. as of now the industries are very less in biotech and if u want to work in industry also ..for biotech options are available onli at R&D depart... you can do biotech at ug and some specialization at pg and the same related in phd and go for post doc...this is present scenerio... no hopes for biotech in india...do atleast pg from abroad with a mindset of settling there... these are based on current suitations prevails in india ..for a change in biotech in india, u ve to wait for another 20years in india,...

my sincere advice is to quit the idea of doin biotechnology or anything related to it unless and until u can take up your mind to do Ph.D or clear UGC NET...coz me too a research scholar in biotechnology nly........There are nly a very few emerging scopes for biotech in india compared to abroad. if then too if your aim is to do biotech then prefer well standard colleges and be skilled in all the techniques of biotechnology so that u can get consideration.another the chance is very less..thankyou

i m a mbbs student.i always wnt to do fesearch in genetics feild... After knowing the present poor condition of scope in india, i decided to do mbbs to secure my future....... But even today, same problem is there in india with biotech scope. Suggest me institution i should go for after mbbs for pursuing genetic research feild with handsum salary as i m from poor family.... Also give me suggestion regsrding this

Where is the scope in india of b.s.c.biotechnology

HOW CAN I GOT JOB AFTER COMLETING MY B.TECH BIOTECH?

what is the procedure of getting job after completing my b.tech bio-tech and what are companies that comes for bio-technology?

In India over few years
Biotechnology is throwing up
new dimensions in medical
science sectors and also in other
sectors.
Career prospectives depends
upon ones choice like
Environment
Control,Chemicals,Drug $
Pharmaceutical Research.
Their are many other areas of
interests like
Medical,Industrial,Agricultural,Marine
Biotechnology $ Medical
Nanotechnology.
Also Biotechnologists are
provided job openings in private
sectors in DRUG companies like
DABUR, RANBAXY, HINDUSTAN
ANTIBIOTICS, THAPAR GROUP with
handsome payable amount.

Hi friend,

the scope is very good,most of the foreign countries are investing their money for

research in this field in india because they can get human resources & brilliants for a

less amount of money,for them its a less amount of money,but for us its a huge

salary.so go ahead.the four fields which have a great future are bio-tech,nano

tech,computer science & chemical enginering.

so you can choose it for your future.

all the best.

if you are thinking to do bio-technology,
the jobs in this stream are increasing.in future there is very much scope of this
so its good doing bio technology
but you have to do m.b.a or phd to get higher post job.

Biotech in India has got a limited scope.But there are good opportunities for biotech graduates abroad.
But let me tell you,biotech can be taķen by any student,not just bio-maths.


And genetic engineering MS is a good option after B.Tech biotech,but that too again not in india.
So,i would suggest you to apply for this study abroad..

Hoping it helps you!!!!:-D

It is one of the upcoming career options for the students and one of the fastest growing areas of science. So the craze for this course is sky high at the moment. Biotechnology is the blend of science and technology.

You can do either B.Tech in biotechnology or B.Sc in biotechnology. The latter is more theory oriented and the former is more technology oriented and it will give you the tag of an engineering. The course content is also a bit different. If you are interested in research field then you can go for the B.Sc degree.

To pursue the B.Tech course you need to give the engineering entrance exam for which it is important that you secure 50% marks in science stream and get a good marks. Better the marks better will be your chances of getting a good college. However there are some colleges which provides direct admission as well.

Some colleges also provides the B.Sc course as well for which application needs to be submitted either online or offline based on the option available. Merit list will be published based on the marks you have got in the board exam. You need a minimum of 60% in aggregate to apply for this course. The cut off marks varies from one college to the other. Direct admission scheme is available in some colleges for this course as well.

After completing this course you can easily work in both public and private sectors. Biotechnology related companies like aquaculture, agriculture, pharmaceutical companies generally hires freshers.

You can work as a researcher, administrator, breeder or marketing manager in various companies. Even the teaching profession can be a lucrative option if you want to be associated with the educational institutes.

Generally the work areas of biotechnology students includes gene therapy, nanobiotechnology, DNA technologies, drugs and vaccines, enzyme engineering and technology.

HI IAM HAVE DONE M.Phil IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND IT A WASTE OF TIME.... IF ANYONE HERE EVEN THINKS ABOUT OPTING FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY AFTER SCHOOLING...PLZ DONT TAKE UP BIOTECH... WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING TO GET A DECENT JOB...ALL MY FRIENDS ARE EITHER WORKING IN CALL CENTRES OR SOME OTHER FIELD...NO SCOPE FOR BIOTECH IN INDIA...I AM STILL JOBLESS.... PHARMA COMAPNIES WONT EVEN LOOK AT OUR RESUME BECAUSE WE ARE FROM BIOTECH COURSE.....ITS A CURSE... I REGRET EVERYDAY FOR TAKING UP BIOTECH....BUT IF U HAVE THE SOURCE TO DO RESEARCH ABROAD ONLY THEN YOU TAKE UP BIOTECH OTHERWISE JUST DROP THE IDEA...

which company get the b. tech biotech students?

could you pls tell me best bio technology colleges in chennai except IIT

Which country offers more jobs in biotech

I'm a bio student of class12 from Jammu & have given my exams & hopes to get 70%.as a girl which career is financially good for me biotechnology or Mbbs.my family is ready to get donation seat in mbbs for me but I can stay out of state for 8-9 yrs for my studies then I'll have to stay in Jammu forever.which career is best, also explain what is in biotechnology (research field) at my email [email protected],please help.

Biotechnology and Genetics are two different areas in Life Sciences field. Genetics involves the studying of genetic arrangement of the organisms and applying the same to create new organisms.

Biotechnology is the science that makes use of advance techniques to develop human beneficial products.

As per Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, they are not developed upto the mark in India.

In many of the colleges, proper lab equipment is not there for the candidates to perform practicals and gain knowledge.

In addition, efficient staff is not there in the colleges to train the candidates in a proper manner.

If you want to do Graduation or Post Graduation in Biotechnology or Genetic Engineering, better do it from Abroad itself so that you can gain good knowledge and there itself you can find good number of job opportunities.

I have seen the candidates in India who have completed Post Graduation in Biotechnology and working for the salary of 10K.

Some candidates did not get job even though they completed Biotechnology 2 years back.

So, this is what the information from my side.

Wish you all the best.

i have done msc in biotechnology and am fedup of serching job .... not getting any chance anywhere.... just hunting and hunting for job..... people say there is scope for biotechnology at bangalore or even aborad... can somebody help me and give me the proper email id wherein i can submit my resume... plz mail me at [email protected]... thnx
