Bioinformatics

Placement: After getting the degree in IMSc bioinformatics, most of the students go on to further studies like a Ph.D. while others prepare for the civil service, and some apply for government jobs or banking jobs. Some get placement in pharmaceutical companies like Cipla, Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. , Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd. , Cadila Healthcare Ltd. , Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. , Lupin, etc. Top recruiting companies Genpact, HSBC, IBM, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc. Visit BJB autonomous colleges for campus placements. For more placement details, you may use the Shiksha BJB college page. (https://www.shiksha.com/college/b-j-b-autonomous-college-Bhubaneswar-47551/placement). I hope this will help you.

Bioinformatics is the application of computation and analysis to biological data interpretation. Clinical research, on the other hand, is about medical research to test the effectiveness of healthcare tools and medicine.
1. Both careers have good scope in India. Clinical research is a well-established field, whereas bioinformatics is gaining recognition.
2. You should choose as per your preference, as both courses are demanding in terms of time and effort.
3. If you are from a mathematical background or you love programming, then you will like bioinformatics courses more.
4. If your background is purely clinical, then you should go into clinical research.
5. Also, bioinformatics jobs are comparatively less common. In private companies, you can work as a bioinformatics researcher, a bioinformatics engineer, or a bioinformatics software developer.
6. However, clinical research will easily allow you to work for a pharma company, hospital, or even as a medical writer.
7. With government support, the job aspect of bioinformatics is expanding, so you can choose any of them based on your interests.

You are eligible for M.Sc. (Bioinformatics) course after completion of your B.Sc. (Computer Science) course. Demand of computer Science course is more than bioinformatics course. So, you should continue your higher study in M.Sc. (Computer Science) after B.Sc. (Computer Science). M.Sc. Bioinformatics or Master of Science in bioinformatics is a 2 year programme for postgraduate students In Science stream. Bioinformatics is basically for management of data in modern Biology and medicine. The eligibility criteria set by colleges and universities is to clear Bachelors degrees in Science stream with a minimum 50% from a recognised college. The average fee of course for M.Sc. Bioinformatics is INR 1,000 to INR 4 Lacs. It mainly depends on the location and size of campus, faculty, course offered by college or university. Hope it helps.
