I am doing bsc Hons.(zoology) and next year I'll be completing my UG. Please tell what test I should give in order to get a good job?
Once you complete your graduation there are some fields which can provide you employment like wildlife Management firms, Museums, pest control companies, veterinary hospitals etc.
You can be a field trials officer, Environmental consultant, zoo curator etc.
But going for these fields won't provide you with much exposure therefore I would suggest you to go for higher studies like M.Sc and then Phd or you can appear for NET(National Eligibility Test) to become a professor in college.
Civil services is also a great choice as it has department for IFS(Indian forest services), thus you have to appear for UPSC.
CAT exam is another good option.
So, now it's your job to decide what would you like to do in future.
Decide wisely
Thank you.
Can a student from zoology stream give cat exam?
