I am graduated in Botany (b.sc). I don't want to go in teaching line. What should i do to get a good job in this line?

Hello dear,

After BSc in Botany you have so many options but it depends on what do you really want to do.



Option 1: You like botany, want to pursue it further. Take MSc in Botany



There are many institutes/universities who advertise positions for research work and they look for candidates with MSc botany.



Apart from this, if you feel teaching is your hobby then you can teach school students as biology teacher. PGT teachers (biology) need to have a Master degree in anyone of the following - Botany/ Zoology/ Biological science/Agriculture/ Fisheries/ Biotechnology etc.



Option 2: You switch from botany to other specific biological field such as MSc Biotechnology, MSc Genetics & Cell biology, MSc Environmental Science, MSc Forestry. All these have quite good demand in research organisations.



# Environmental science is highly sought program. It sometimes allows you to extend the scope of your work and enter into the domain of engineering and technology. You can also take up UGC Net exam in this subject and can get fellowship for pursuing PhD.



#Studying forestry can help you in Indian Forest Examination if you feel taking up this exam at any point of time. There are 2 optional subjects need to be taken and there you have 2 subjects readymade with you- Botany & Forestry.



Option 3: You can go for the integrated MSc+PhD program. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai every year conducts the exam for entry into this program. IISc, Bangalore also offers integrated MSC+PhD.
