Hello,

There are various avenues to explore after BSc Biotechnology, opportunities are present in health care centres, various government organizations, public health centres, in research and manufacturing departments of biotech companies,bio processing industries,drugs and pharmaceuticals, environment, waste management, chemicals, energy to name a few, you can also explore the sales and marketing domain here, various universities recruit laboratory technician for which you can apply if you're interested.

You can also pursue higher education, you can qualify top entrance exams like CSIR NET/GATE, you can do BEd to teach at school level, you can also pursue MBA  and explore the management aspect of biotech companies,

You can also explore other government exams as well based on the eligibility of graduation with no specific aggregate from a recognized university.such as

hello there!

there are many job opportunities and fields that you opt for some of them are

1. Milk industries: Milk is a biological product and its processing and formation of various milk product requires Biological techniques & principles. Many products like milk, yoghurt, cheese, butter.. etc are available in markets in different brand names. Examples of Companies in India: Amul, Mother dairy, vishaka dairy, omfed etc..
2. Food sector: This is another dominant sector of current era. Almost all types of foods are available in the market are packed food. If you will buy even a chips packet, in the wrapper you can read the nutritional value it contains. All these are analysed and packed using various biological tools. Thus, starting from chips, many other products like bread, biscuits, namkins, jams, juices. Etc are available in the markets. Few of the established industries in this sectors are Parle, ITC, Britannia, Nestle, Pepsico..etc.
3. Pharma Industries: From development of drugs to the manufacturing of medicines requires technological subject knowledge in Biology. This is another largest sector having lots of companies like abbot, sun pharma, alchem laboratories, cipla etc…
4. Agriculture: This is another most advancing biological sector of recent time. Lots of technological roles like research and development of products. Utilisation of technologies like tissue culture, hybrid seed production, genetically modified crops …etc are more promising. Inadditon, preparation of Biopesticides, Biofertiliser utilses various tools of Biology and biotechnology. Lots of agricultural companies are existing in the country.
5. Health and diagnosis : In current days lot of diseases and health parameters are diagnosed by a wide range of sophisticated instruments and tools. Which works on the biological principles. Diseases like Cancer, Birdflu, Swineflu etc are diagnosed by various biotechnological methods. And there are many branded hospitals like AIIMS, TMH, SGPGI, Apollo hospital, Max group of hospitals, Seven hills hospitals, Jaypee group of hospitals etc are present through out the countries.

Out of many, above are some of the major sectors of Biology where many industries are functioning. But, it is also practical that most of us have not heard any of a plain B. Sc. student working in above sectors. One of the probable reason is that these sector requires Biotechnological knowledge, expertise and skills .

Thus, it can be summarized that a B. Sc. in Biotechnology gives you opportunity to grab a job in these sectors. However, it is to be noted that B. Sc degree is a srating graduate degree. So, one may not get a high profile job in these sectors after merely completing B. Sc. in Biotechnology. One can always prefer higher education like M. Sc. Biotechnology.. etc.

i hope this helps

goodluck!

hello,

it is highly recommended that you pursue your MSc course,The job opportunities for BSc graduates in a highly research oriented field as biotechnology is not much and most students tend to pursue their MSc in Biotechnology or a specialized discipline of biotechnology.  however, you may get a job in some biological products or some healthcare products producing companies.

hope that helps
