Hello


I am really impressed seeing your curiosity level regarding your career build up. I can certainly guide you in this question. First of all, I am happy that you took a right decision to approach counsellors at Mera career guide website and consult with us. I am Gomathi, and i have been in this counselling industry for nearly 23 years now.

I shall advice for both current students studying biotechnology or even recent graduates. However both sets of students can follow these methods as they will prove useful to you in a long run. First of all I want to ask you what type of career you are interested in Biotechnology? Do you want a research career or a company level career?

A research career is possible at university level, national scientific laboratories level and company research and development department level (R&D). A research career expects students to hold a minimum MTech Biotechnology or MSc Biotechnology and if you also have a PhD in Biotechnology, it is great. PhD graduates stand with higher probability in terms of a research career. A research career means you are not doing a normal day-to-day oriented job but involved in a lab trying out to find new things. To find a job in research, you should do the following.
1. Complete MTech Biotech or MSc Biotech and join a resaerch and development department of a company. Even PhD students can join R&D departments of company.
2. Complete Doctorate degree and get a career in education sector. Here you will work as a Professor at universities and colleges and also be involved in continuous research at the university lab.
3. You can work for national research laboratories as a Research Associate in the area you have specialized. For example, if your specialization is plant biotechnology, you can work for 'National research centre for Plant biotechnology' as a Research Associate. Another example, if your specialization is agri-food, you can work for National research centre for Agri-food', Punjab.

In case you want to work for companies, you can definitely work with a BSc, BTech, MSc, MTech and PhD degrees. You can work for Biocon, Shantha biotech, and a lot of pharma companies. For this, you should apply to summer projects or internship opportunities these companies have for biotechnology students. You can work as an intern for a minimum 3-6 months and as a trainee for minimum 6 months to 1 year. All companies have such facilities and you need to approach the companies individually by visiting their website. The salary offered during training/internship will be quite low but once you get confirmed in job after the training period, your salary will increase. You will receive certification for training which can also be used to apply for jobs else where.

I will soon write on the centres that offers training for students in India. It will be more useful. Thanks.
