Hi Mimanshi, If you want to settle in USA, its better you look for universities in USA itself so that you get a OPT or CPT. But mind you its very strict and not easy and these are mainly for STEM subjects. Refer to some ranking websites like QS and visit university websites and have an idea of what they have to offer, the programs, career assistance, rankings, admission requirements, fees, etc. Match your profile with the admission requirements, you will know better if you are an average student or better than average and accordingly, you can select your universities. Check the GRE and TOEFL score requirements. For fashion programs GRE is not required mostly. Similarly, check the fees and see if it suits your budget. Find out financial aid options like bank loans and scholarships. It includes a lot of research and luckily you will find everything on the university websites. Once you get to know all the details you can shortlist some universities and apply. Keep options open.

If you are a B.Sc student in biotechnology or any other biological sciences related fields, it is highly recommended that you pursue your M.Sc. The job opportunities for B.Sc. Graduates in a highly research oriented field as biotechnology is very less and most students tend to pursue their M.Sc. In Biotechnology or a specialised discipline of biotechnology. India is home to some excellent M.Sc. Programs such as JNU, DU, IISc, TIFR, IITs etc. With an M.Sc. Degree, most students tend to work in research labs and industries as research assistants. The pay package is also quite less for M.Sc. Graduates. Since India is still developing, it is highly recommended that you do your B.Sc. In a reputed institution for good campus placements and job opportunities.
Many M.Sc. Students tend to pursue their Ph.D. degrees in Biotechnology or related fields as a Ph.D. degree opens up more avenues both in India and worldwide. A Ph.D. degree will give you the ability to start your own research lab, become a professor or head of the department in universities or be the lead for a team of research scientists. If your goal is to create a niche for yourself in Biotechnology, then your best BET will be to get a PhD.
