There are about 300 domestic companies and 100 multinationals doing clinical trials in India
Students of pharmacy, life-sciences and even doctors are looking at clinical research as a career option, as companies are recruiting even trainees at salaries of about Rs 2.5lakh
so don't worry it has a large scope.
