Biotechnology Scope

Hello,
Thanks for asking.
Career scope of Biotechnology in India is good enough.
But the opportunities in industrial sector is less than Research Sector.
If you like Research Field, then Biotechnology will be the right choice for you.
You can also get chance to work in IIT's , IISc, CSIR Labs. which is a dream of many Science students.
Biotechnological Techniques are useful in - Environment Conservation, Health care, Medicines, Agriculture, Industrial Research & Development.

Hello,
The career scope in science field is very good. There are many jobs available in this field for you. You can get into research field as it is one of the best option.
If you pursue M.Sc in forensic science, then you can also try to get a job in CBI or other police services and crime branch
If you pursue M.Sc biotechnology, then you can get into medical field and work as clinical research associate. A bio technologist may find jobs in various quarters in India. Drug and pharmaceutical research, chemicals, environment control, waste management, energy, food processing and bio-processing industries, tanning industries.
To make career in research field as research fellow or as a lecturer, you have to appear in CSIR NET exam.

Hello,
Career scope of biotechnology is really good in India. Biotechnology scientist can work in a laboratory developing drugs to improve the quality of life. The work in bio technology can be sales and marketing, to research and development, to manufacturing and quality control and assurance.
Biotechnology is combining knowledge about life and living organisms with modern technology to create new systems, devices, materials, food that could improve human life and help preserve environment.
The best field in biotechnology is in research field. If you want to get into it, then you can prepare for CSIR NET exam, which is conducted for science students who are willing to pursue their career in research or lectureship.

Hi,
Biotechnology is a research oriented subject, if you want a job after completing M.Sc in Biotechnology it won't help, you have to go for PhD to get a job in research labs or a teaching job in some good institutes. If you are not interested in research then go for MBA, but don't do MBA in Biotechnology because again it will limit your career opportunities. You can also do M.Sc in microbiology or biochemistry, these subjects have better opportunities then M.Sc Biotechnology. Actually, biotechnology is a vast subject it's not only one subject it's a combination of many subjects, along with microbiology and biochemistry you have to study immunology, genetics, recombinant DNA, cell bio, molecular biology, plant biotech, animal biotech, chemical bio and many more.
A person needs a lot of patience to study biotech since it's a research oriented subject you have to study throughout your life. You have to devote lots of time and energy in this subject, without this you can reach nowhere. If you're really interested in pursuing biotechnology then go for M.Sc biotechnology then doctorate then post doctorate but not MBA in biotechnology. If you are tired of studying the subject then it's the right time to change your career option.

I will suggest you to go for B.Sc./B.Tech Biotechnology, as biotechnology is more diverse field compared to microbiology.
As correctly defined by UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2, “Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use". Once you will start your course you will be introduced different streams of Biotechnology such as Animal cell culture, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Embryology, Genetics, Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Biochemical Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Molecular Biology.
After completing your course you could decide whether you would like to stay in research or would you like to go for MBA. If you decide to go for MBA, then there is a course in University of Pune named MBA in Biotechnology or else you can go for a plain MBA.
But, if you decide to go for M.Sc. then you can go for biotechnology, bioinformatics, computational biology, marine biology, molecular medicine, molecular biology, genomics, genetics, animal biotechnology, plant biotechnology or biochemical engineering. After M.Sc. either you can for PhD or you can join biotechnology industry.

I have completed my B.Sc Biotechnology from Mumbai University and later, I got to know of a totally new field which very few people in India know about. It's called Nuclear Medicine & Fusion Imaging Technology. It involves use of Radioisotopes in imaging of cancer patients and also it has therapeutic applications. Also very few universities offer the courses related to Nuclear Medicine & most of them are Govt. Universities. The entrance exams are also very competitive . But the scope of becoming an Nuclear Medicine Technologist or a Fusion Imaging Technologist is very vast. In the abroad ,its a more reputed & responsible job. Thus giving you a handsome salary package in India as well as abroad. You can contact me for further information.
