B.Sc Biotechnology

B.Sc Student in biotechnology or any other biological sciences related fields, it is highly recommended that you pursue your M.Sc. The job opportunities for B.Sc. Graduates in a highly research oriented field such as biotechnology are very less and most students tend to pursue their M.Sc. In biotechnology or a specialised discipline of biotechnology. India is home to some excellent M.Sc. Programs such as JNU, DU, IISc, TIFR, IITs, etc. With an M.Sc. Degree, most students tend to work in research labs and industries as research assistants. The pay package is also quite less for M.Sc. Graduates. Since India is still developing, it is highly recommended that you do your M.Sc. In a reputed institution for good campus placements and job opportunities. If your university is not reputed, the chances of any biotech company coming for placements will be zero.

Both the courses have their own advantages. Microbiology is a specific and narrow field whereas Biotechnology is a vast interdisciplinary course covering various areas of applied Science including Cell biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Plant biology, Animal cell culture, Stem cell technology, Bioinformatics etc. Microbiology can be considered as part or sub section of Biotechnology. Moreover, there are more job opportunities for Biotechnology graduates in biotech and pharmaceutical sector as compared to Microbiology which are very limited as subject area is very limited.
