Education and Career Forum

Dear sir, I am currently in my final year of MSc Biotech. I want to pursue a PG diploma course in Intellectual property rights from NALSAR or NLSIU. I would like to know the career prospects & job opportunities after finishing PG diploma in the same. Is it beneficial to do a course in intellectual property rights? Also, NALSAR & NLSIU both offer only distance education for this course. Is it ok if I take up a distance education course rather than choosing an institution that would provide classroom teaching? Please reply asap. Thank you.

There is no problem in doing a correspondence course. It will not impact your career prospects. PG diploma in Intellectual property rights is a good option. Both the institutes well reputed for this course.

hi!

If you are interested in pursuing a career in IP then PG diploma course in Intellectual property rights will definitely help you. It will open many opportunities for you if you wish to seek job opportunities in areas of IP and patents with MNCs, evolving domestic industries, outsourcing companies, (KPOs and LPOs), law firms, Government and R&D Institutions.

But you have also done Msc in biotechnology then why don't you utilise your degree. There are many job opportunities for biotech candidates. The biotechnology professionals can get good jobs in the pharmaceutical companies, agricultural, chemical and allied industries. They can get the employment in the areas of production, planning and management of bioprocessing industries. The biotechnologists have a great scope in the research laboratories.

i have done b.tech biotechnology and i am very much interested in going for a career in intellectual property rights.will it be a good option?

It's certainly right decision and also the right time. IP is becoming a booming industry in India now and more Patent Analyst/Engineer are required. But before entering into this field, you should do little research on Intellectual Property Courses & reputed IP institutes. Post Graduate Diploma in IPR would be best option for you..
