As I pointed out above, this 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- Pharmaceuticals Industry, Healthcare sector, Chemical Industry and Research sector.
Research sector, in particular, is quite lucrative. One may build a rewarding career in this field. To thrive in this field, one must possess B.Sc. as well as M.S. degree! Average starting salary generally is between 2- 5 Lakh Rupees per year.
