If I want to become a researcher then what is the next step of b.sc biotechnology? I have to join a m.sc biotechnology or research institute?

Yes, the next step after the completion of your BSc Biotechnology is to get admission in MSc course. Also you can see there are some colleges that gives integrated-phd program i.e., you will get MSc-phD degree at the end of 5/6 years course.

Name of some colleges that offers Msc-PhD:

1. RCB , Faridabad.

2. Techno India University , kolkata

3. IISC

4.TIFR-NCBS

I hope my answer helps you. If you want to go for government colleges do Msc-phD go for TIFR & IISC.

Wish you all the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello pratheeba,

If you want to become a researcher you need to follow the steps:

1. A very good PhD with publications in good and high impact peer reviewed journals.
2. A good post doctoral experience from abroad. Work experience in Ivy league or equivalent European universities and from world renowned biotechnology labs will certainly add a lot of spice in your CV.
3. Very good recommendations from your advisors. It is almost as important as your research work. Recommendation from a Nobel laureate or from an eminent and powerful Indian scientist will immensely help you to cross the last hurdle. Remember at that level, the competition becomes harsh and you will find far too many candidates with brilliant academic and research careers vying for a single post.

If you want to become good researcher you need to give following exams which I have mentioned  below:

You can apply for either MSc or MSc integrated PhD course. Aim for NCBS, IISc, IISERs, IITs for a Phd if you do it in India.

For abroad, you have to give your GRE and TOEFL/IELTS. Good options for doing masters abroad are Germany(you should know the language atleast the basics), Canada, the US and Australia. New Zealand and Ireland are other options that you can look into.

Try to aim at good institutes for your MSc as this will help you get a dissertation project at a good place. Have a good research experience and publish a paper/papers whenever you get a chance. This will help you to get a PhD abroad incase you want to pursue outside the country.

I hope it solves your problem.
