The scope of Veterinary science is very vast.Though, I would try to compile it in a short answer.
There are a lot of options to choose from after you finish you studies :
1) Research. You can either go for Masters here in India or abroad. A lot of my batch mates have done their research abroad especially in European countries.
If you want to go for this option then you have to prepare early, right from your 3rd year of the degree for TOEFL and G.R.E.You need to have some research experience which you can gain by working in the Departments of you interest and help out PHD students in their research and get your name in published articles/abstracts.
Having reference letters from the HOD helps a lot. So, for these things to work out you need to develop good relations with your professors and HOD so that they give you these letters.
2) Pet clinic. You can either work at a Pet clinic to gain more experience or open up your own clinic.Again if you want to have your own pet clinic then you must start planning at least from your 4th year and start gaining experience from working in the college/University clinic.
3) Government Recruitment. This is unreliable but a good option if you are interested to be in Govt. job. There is less competition than others as the number of Veterinarians are less.
4) Corporate or Pvt. Jobs. A lot of options are available right from Marketing & sales to Production & quality control mainly in pharmaceutical Sector.
5) Join NGOs such as W.W.F or PETA with different capacities such as investigator,chief investigator and field veterinarian.
6) Join R.V.C.Remount Veterinary corps of Indian Army
7) You can go for your PHD and apply for being an Assistant Professor in one of the Veterinary Universities. Though PHD is not compulsory, it increases the chances many folds if you have one.
8) Another option you can explore is going for an MBA in Agri-business management from a good institute like SIIB or co-operative management from VAMNICOM, Pune.
The opportunities after Veterinary Sciences are numerous, it depends upon ones own interests and focus as to where and in which direction he chooses to go.
