Botany

To be very honest, there is not much scope in botany in India. - from study perspective: The field is good and vast too. If you are serious about taking botany as your major I would suggest you to study till Masters at least. After that you can apply for NET if you want to be a lecturer or you can go for research. Most people also opt for be. D. which can be done after B.Sc. Or M.Sc. In whichever way you like, be. D. opens the GATE for teaching in pvt schools. If you don't want to go to any of these you can do Ph.D. after completing your M.Sc. - Job perspective: You will not see many jobs in botany but yes you will get a chance to do internship in your M.Sc. Days. The reason why jobs less in this area because today the world is full of engineering jobs and MBA jobs and as this is not a technical degree its just a graduate degree. But yes you can do internship after completing your B.Sc. With Indian council of agricultural research. They offer 1 year paid internship ( you require a little knowledge of computers too). And one more thing there is no rule that after B.Sc. In botany you have to do M.Sc. In botany. You can change your major in M.Sc. You can opt for M.Sc. In biotechnology (good scope), M.Sc. In bioinformatics, M.Sc. In human genetics and many more.
