I would like to suggest you to pursue Masters Degree in Chemistry because you have done your BSc in chemistry so you will have more knowledge about Chemistry and able to get good opportunities in jobs also.

A candidate with a masters degree in chemistry can get jobs with government chemicals Industries, pharmaceutical industries, factories etc.

It is also possible for them to join petroleum company such as Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil Corporation etc.

It is also possible for candidates to get jobs as lecturer for assistant professors with top universities or colleges if they have qualified the net exam.
