Biochemist

Hi Kartikey,
Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector.Big firms are pouring in big money into it and new business opportunities are developing in this sector. These things have led to huge increase in job openings in this sector. In short, Biotechnology graduates are in huge demand these days.
The course is a combination of two subjects- Biology and Technology. Broadly speaking, it brings together concepts of Biology and Engineering and aims at putting concepts of both these subjects together, in a bid to enrich our lives and make innovative developments. Some of the popular colleges other than DU ones are:
Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology, Trivandrum, Kerala
School of Life Sciences, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana
Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, Maharashtra
Department of Microbiology & Biotechnology Centre, Faculty of Science, Vadodara, Gujarat
University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Punjab University, Chandigarh
On other hand, the biochemistry is a lucrative career option and once you complete your degree in biochemistry, you become eligible for a wide array of career options, such as the jobs of research analysts, lab technicians, microbiologists, clinical scientists and biotechnologists in industries like food and nutrition, healthcare, beauty industry, research sector and chemicals. Some of the popular biochemistry colleges are:
DS Institute of Paramedical Sciences and Hospital, Ghaziabad, UP
MMHRC, Madurai, Tamil Nadu
Asutosh College, Kolkata
Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Allahabad, UP
Holy Cross College, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu
Kongunadu Arts & Science College, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

The career scopes offered for the M.Sc in Biochemistry graduates are immense. Various public as well as private sector companies recruit these graduates to numerous job openings. They can work in different firms such as research laboratories, pharmaceutical industries, diagnostic centres, biotech firms, hospitals, agricultural industries, drug manufacturing companies, forensic departments, cosmetic industries, food institutes, health care centres, clinical labs, and so on. In these firms, one can choose the job prospects of consultant / medical laboratory technician / business specialist / physician / regulatory affairs specialist / quality control inspector / toxicologist / product development manager / geneticist / chemist / cytologist / clinical research specialist. One can also get into teaching profession for courses such as B.Sc, M.Sc, B.V.Sc, B.Pharm, BPT, etc. In addition to the job opportunities offered in India, the candidates also have immense scope abroad.
Jobs in Government Sector after M.Sc in Biochemistry
The M.Sc in Biochemistry graduates have huge possibilities of securing a job in various government sectors such as the agriculture and fisheries department, environmental pollution control board, government hospitals, public health entities, blood service units, cancer research institutes, public health laboratories, forensic Science department, overseas development board, social welfare board, and so on. Biochemists are also highly demanded in several pharmaceutical firms, food industries and agro-chemical companies so as to build up newer products. They are also required to monitor the manufacturing processes, quality control and safety of the existing products.
