For Biotechnology If you are a Masters degree holder in BioSciences, you are eligible for most of the Research Jobs but a preference is given to candidates who have qualified any of the national level entrance exams like CSIR NET , GATE , DBT BET, ICMR JRF, ARS NET. However, do not get demotivated you still have a lot of scope without them. You have the following top options after M.Sc in Biotech:
- Go for a Ph.D
- Apply for a Corporate Research job and start climbing the corporate ladder ( this part is tougher than the entrance exams mentioned above )
