Scientist as we all know basically deals with various experime nts either to develop new thing or to widen scientific knowledge of the thing which is existing in general.

In order to become scientist the minimum qualification one has to have a Master degree in a related field (M.Sc/M.E/M.TECH) or equivalent with minimum 60% from recognized university. After completion of Master degree aspirant needs to apply for Doctoral (Ph.D) degree. Aspirant can also go for tests like ARS/NET, IIST, Scientist Entrance test by DRDO to pursue career as a scientist. So, after completion of B.Sc you can go for M.Sc, after completion of M.Sc course you can take up various examinations as I have mentioned above and clearing any of the tests can get you a job in the following institutes:

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)

Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC)

Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM)

Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) etc.
