M.Sc Scope

A graduate with an M.Sc. In Bioinformatics can expect to find career choices with research laboratories in academia or industry, pharmaceutical companies, and in other fields as diverse as agriculture or the development of personal care products. There are also opportunities in gene sequencing, genotyping and database design and maintenance. Employers are primarily seeking individuals with a strong background in molecular biology and advanced computational skills. Graduates in Industrial chemistry field may get opportunities in the areas of agrochemical industries, metallurgical industries, petrochemicals industries, pharmaceuticals, plastic industries, polymer industries, etc. Some of the graduates may work in non-scientific areas like government, utilities and research, drink industry, health and medical organizations, and scientific research agencies and organizations.

You can join some research organisation, or companies into research, or clear GATE/NET and join Ph.D. with a good lab. Also you can join for as a JRF in a lab and enroll for Ph.D. Next best option is to take up a course in clinical research/ medical coding and getting yourself employed more rapidly. Both the industries pay you handsome salary. Actually the former is the equivalent of IT jobs in our industry. There is a lot of scope and if you dedicate yourself properly in a decade you will find yourself in a great position career wise and finance wise. The next best option is to identify a problem and solve it through a start up.
Also, if your college/ university as an incubator scheme apply for it. They will know you better and assist you accordingly.
All the best.

You can do either of them as both of them have excellent opportunities. But, there would be a difference in some or the other factors. Master's if you pursue even from the top colleges of the country, your compensation will not be as high as someone who has done his or her MBA from any top college of the country. This is not a gospel truth but this is most likely to happen in most of the cases. Now, with regards to work experience in MBA, believe me having and not having work experience have their own advantages and disadvantages.
There is no such hard and fast rule that work-ex guys will get higher salary than freshers. It completely depends on the company as many companies are there who only want freshers. So, it should be your choice as to what you want to do
* These career decisions are best taken by you after due deliberation and taking into account all the factors associated with it.
