B.Sc Scope

Hello Abubasar,
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 Bachelor's degree in chemistry, but a 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 a huge demand for chemists for various positions. Some of the job types for these graduates include:
1) Analytical Chemist
2) Biomedical Chemist
3) Chemical engineering associate
4) Industrial Research Scientist
5) Lab Chemist
6) Materials Technologist
7) Production Chemist
8) Production Officer
9) Quality Controller
10) R&D Director
11) Research & Development Manager
12) Safety Health And Environment Specialist
13) Teacher
The employment areas for the B.Sc Chemistry graduates include pharmaceutical industries, chemical manufacturers, Forensic Science Department, plastic industries, agrochemical industries, etc. Apart from these, they are also recruited in other fields such as oil, gas and power sectors and even in defence services.

The days have gone so far that those who have finished B.Sc in nursing are thinking of other options rather than M.Sc nursing. The scope of M.Sc Nursing has diminished in India owing to the rapidly increasing no. of post graduates from numerous colleges in India. The newly passed out M.Sc nurses are ready to work as a staff nurse or as a teacher with staff nurse salary.
Most of the nursing students who join MSN programme want to leave nursing at the clinical side. So if the scope of M.Sc Nursing is diminishing, what are the other PG programmes or courses they can pursue after BSc Nursing?
Here are some courses which you can do after B.Sc in nursing:
1. MHA (Master of Health Administration/Master of Hospital Administration)
Both these courses are available at Tata Institute of Social Sciences TISS, Mumbai Campus. TISS offers more than 90% surety in campus placement in these courses.
2. MPH (Master of Public Health)
Many national institutes like Sree Chitra (SCTIMST)-Trivandrum, PGIMER-Chandigarh, AIIMS-New Delhi, etc., conduct MPH course, but SCTIMST and National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) only allows nurses to pursue MPH after their graduation.
3. MBA (Hospital Administration)
MBA in Hospital Administration is a regular full-time 2 year Course in prestigious institutes like IIM-Calicut will surely render nice job opportunities after the completion of the programme. Even though you can earn this degree through distance education from many universities like Bharathiar University, better to go with some recognized institutes if you are planning regular MBA programme.
4. MSW (Master of Social Work)
If you are planning to do IELTS and leave for European countries, US or Australia, MSW in Medicine and Psychiatry is a good option for nurses after their graduation particularly for those who like to work in European countries or US. After MSW, you can work as a case manager in the hospitals of Europe.
5. MBBS
Yes, you heard it. I have seen some people moving to Philipines and West Indies for doing MBBS. For Keralites, let me tell you one fact that most of the nurses don't know, in Kerala Medical Entrance one seat of MBBS is exclusively reserved for a B.Sc nurse.
6. Nurse educator/clinical instructor
M.Sc Nurses have a nice option in the Middle-East of becoming nurse educator/clinical instructor in hospitals. I have a friend in Kuwait who is working as a nurse educator in a hospital. But how to reach there and grab the job? The mystery lies there.

Hi Shubham,
Due to the opening of large pharmaceutical companies, the future in the field of pharmacy is bright. Numerous jobs are available for pharmacists in government as well as private organizations. After completing your studies, you can easily find jobs in pharmaceutical industries, government departments, colleges and universities, hospitals, investigation and research institute etc.
Pharmacists can practice in community pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, psychiatric hospitals, and regulatory agencies. Sales & Marketing job sector also hire a huge number of pharmacy graduates.
One can also work in retail stores of medicines. After registering with the state Pharmacy Council, you can open chemist/drug shop and sell medicines as per doctors prescription.
On the other hand, the biotechnology is a rapidly developing field. Many private businesses are exploring this field and heavily investing in it. It is safe to say that there are ample job opportunities for Biotechnology graduates in private sector. Government sector too offers job opportunities, but not in the scale in which private sector does.
Some prominent industries where biotechnology professionals may find jobs are- PharmaceuticalsiIndustry,
Healthcare sector
Chemical industry
Research sector
So at the end of the day, it boils down to your area of interest and you would need to take the final call.

I think B.Com and B.Sc both are very good courses but main matter is that in which subject you are interested.
The main advantage of B.Com course is, the job opportunity for B.Com is bit high when compared to B.Sc.
No doubt there is good scope available for B.Com course in both the Government and Private sectors as well. B.Com students can get job opportunities in various sectors like Banking Sector, Financial Institutions, Outsourcing firms, Insurance Companies and Audit Firms, etc. B.Com fresher can also start their career as Account Assistant.
Benefits of taking commerce:
- Candidates can develop their Management and Accounting Skill.
- Good Career prospects.
- Wide range of Job opportunities.
But if you were a bio student in class 12 then I will suggest you to go for b.sc in biotechnology as for you it will be bit difficult to pursue B.Com.
