B.Sc Chemistry

Hi Gurseawak, please read through the difference between both and then decide. I. B.Sc. Chemistry graduates have many options for their higher studies. Majority of these graduates opt for Masters degree in the same. But they can also choose various specialised areas in this field for the post graduation courses. Many universities offer the study of chemistry at post graduate and at doctoral levels. The chemicals are used in almost every field such as medicines, food products, and electronics and even in construction activities. This creates many opportunities for the chemistry graduates in diverse fields. The industries, specially chemical and pharmaceutical, the universities and government laboratories are the three major employers who recruit Chemistry graduates. The entry level jobs in this field usually require at least the Bachelors degree in chemistry, but majority of the jobs like research needs candidates with Ph.D. in the same. The chemical industries are also doing well in India and there is huge demand for chemists for various positions. Some of the job types for these graduates include
II. B.Sc. Physics acts as the base to study various higher education courses. Upon completion of the course, the candidate can go for Masters degree in various specialised areas. Physics graduates can find ample career openings both in public as well as private sector enterprises. They can apply for all governmental jobs that insist graduation as the basic qualification. One can find various opportunities in governmental organizations like DRDO, VSSC, ISRO, SSPL, etc. They are also recruited in space research centers and in research laboratories. Now It is completely up to you. It is your interest. But I personally I think that physics would be a better option because physics is the thing which governs this whole universe. If you did B.Sc. In physics from DU or any other reputed institute than you might have a very good chance to be selected for ISRO, DRDO or might be selected in any other good places. All the best.

Hi abhijeet,
Yes you will get Licence.
An entry-level job for Medical Lab technologists usually requires a bachelor's degree in medical technology or life sciences. A bachelor's degree program in medical laboratory technology, also known as a medical laboratory scientist degree, includes courses in chemistry, biology, microbiology, math, and statistics.
The ASCP website mentions that in order to be eligible for certification as a medical lab scientist, a current medical lab technician must obtain a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, including 16 hours of biological science, 16 hours of chemistry, one semester of math, and two years .

I would suggest doing MS or equivalent in the field of natural products chemistry. It is a fascinating subject that includes though not exhaustively, the investigation of useful compounds in herbs, plants, living specimens, trying to figure out its in vivo biochemistry and working out a viable synthesis in labs. Although, I must say two things:
1. Any chemical specialisation is bound to exclude the real beauty of botany: the study of diversity and evolutions in the plantae. So, you may want to consider that.
2. A lot depends on your real specific interest in chemistry. Do you find biochemistry fascinating? Or is it inorganic chemistry that piques your curious side? Before venturing into a dual delight, think if you are really interested in biochemical sciences. It is a burdensome major if you do not have interest in it. A final tip: You may still want to consider choosing one of these interests, in which case, an MS in your specific interest in Chemistry is to be found. Investigate the various chemical sciences. Some biggies are: Physical Chemistry (Kinetic studies, Quantum Chemistry, Nano chemistry, Thermodynamic and Chemical Energetics), Inorganic Chemistry (Organometallics, Coordination chemistry, Classical inorganic chemistry), Organic chemistry (Natural Products, Biochemistry, Organic Synthesis and Catalysis), Analytical Chemistry.
Thank you.
