Education and Career Forum

hello my question is ,is there any future after doing post graduation in biotechnology ? I have done my graduation and post graduation both in biotechnology and stood topper in both, but the problem is biotech students are not eligible for applying in any kind of lectureship whereas plain botany post graduate students can apply for the same post , which will embarrass us a lot . why biotechnology is not introduce in 2 level? so that many biotech students will be engaged as a junior lecturer.

Hello Friend !!

Top Companies in India hiring Post Graduates in Biotechnology are :

Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi.

DRDO, New Delhi.

Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi.

National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi.

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.

National Facility for Tissues and Cell Culture at Pune.

International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology.

Indian Council of Medical Research.

Bharat Immunological and Biological Corporation.

Biochemical Research Centre.

Institute for Research for Reproduction.

Indian Instituter of Science Bangalore etc.

The reason for not introducing the Biotechnology Course in the Intermediate level is that, they already have lot of syllabus covering all the basics and fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry subjects including labs.

Involving Biotechnology and other complicated subjects will not bring enough outputs from young brains.

Good Luck !!
