Masters programmes and job prospects in Biotechnology

What will be my job prospects or option for Masters degree after a graduation in Biotechnology?
A graduate in biotechnology can opt for a 2 years Master’s in Biotechnology. Depending on the course you choose at the graduation level, you can apply for MSc, ME, and MTech in biotechnology. Any other graduation in biology such as biochemistry, biology, botany, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacy, veterinary sciences or zoology is also eligible for an admission into a post-graduate program in biotechnology.

After you have completed your post-graduation in biotechnology, you can go for a doctoral program and from then on if need be, immerse yourself in post-doctoral research. Foreign universities are mostly preferred by students in India for a PhD in biotechnology.
Job Prospect

You have a multiple options to choose for a specialization and also for jobs including research sectors of Agriculture and Agricultural Development, Animal Husbandry, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Botany, Dairy Technology, Environmental Protection, Fishery Development, Genetics, Horticulture, Medicine, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Nutrition, Pharmacology, Tissue Culture and Zoology.

There is huge job prospect for both research and non-research based career in biotechnology. Companies are hiring graduates and post-graduates from this sector to boost their yield and to improvise on their working methods.

If you are interested in Biotechnology, it is better to begin an early preparation right from your high school. You must have the curiosity to study innovative science rather than just study for good grades. It is high time when schools need to let students like what they want to study rather than push them towards a race of billions.
