hey please tell any thing for me yaa iam bsc biotech wat shall i do im choosing to do msc in biochemistry instead of biotech wats happening all aroung please tell yaaa
Shocking, isn't it .. biotech should not be there bacause there is no such thing actually called biotech. I must say its a gimmick, that lures you into a state of ambiguity and frustration.
i am not insane, i am not the blasphemist who retaliates teh conventions, but i am also not knaive and so is not everyone else who takes up what we call biotech. I feel i was more precise and oriented when i was in biotech, now that i did it i am confused, because M.Sc biotech seems to be as pot-pourrie of so many myriad subjects that when you end the course you dont have a clue what is your specialisation. You are trained for nothing,what does an it sector requires a dumb box with 512 RAM 80 GB harddisk, that would cost about 25000/ bucks and lots of brains. What BIotech requires , for a simple experiment say a routine pCR some 2000 bucks, its costly affair, you need to have an infrastructure. To be honest rare have it. So what do we loose here, lets be rational, a brain which could have been a touchstone of rationality, is now a seat of disgust and anger. Pay 2 lacks get a Software degree, 4 years of clumsy study, get a job that supports your family for 4 generations.
Pay donation take up a course in biotech and land up nowhere, who will do te justice.
Biotech sectors comlplains of manpower, scientist complains of funds and incompetent students. Students complain of limited opportunities, poor vacancies.
I charu arora has completed my msc biotech in 2006 and its already 9 months i m seaqrching for job..... no value for a biotech masters.... no genuine interview call from any company.....
im doing btech in biotech right now. if i do mtech and then phd in a medicine line then can i get a good r&d job in pharma companies. also what is scope for mba biotech in india?

hi btech in biotech pray that u get a job when u finish up ur study. and dont even think if mba in biotech why to confine the line again. try to get into any kind of job u get as there is hardly any biotech job.there is nothing kind of boom in this line.so get into IT somehow if u want work for 2 yrs gather experience and then do ur mba. mind u not mba in biotech.....
iam santhosh from Osmaniauniversitiy. first time in joing in the M.Sc all professors told . ya its is very fantastic course ,after copleting this you can earn min 25,000, but after copleting M.Sc what happened? any where no jobs? Once i went to an interview , they said that no future in life science, but why u r done this course?iam unable to explain? any company prfering the refference candidates... now what to do? can you tell me? In software they earning frm 15k to 50k, but in lifescience they earning5k to 10k what is this? Even lifescience student work hard when compared to software student. R you agree with me?
Some one inclined towards biology, computational techniques as well as with outcome orientation can choose interdisciplinary biology; some of our native land organizations operate & forms a key component in this space.

Biological technology is technology based on biology, particularly when used in agriculture, food science & medicine. It means any technical application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Few decades back it was primarily used in food processing, agriculture industries & recent past it was successfully exploited in recombinant DNA as well as tissue culture area (medicine). We usually observe great deal of conversation & capital being transferred into our topic assuming bright hope to bring remedy. But there seem to be petite number of remedies; in general biotech revolution has not happened in the pharmaceutical sector. How ever, recent progress with monoclonal antibody based drugs, such as Genetech%u2019s Avastin %u2122 suggest that biotech may finally have found a role in pharmaceutical sales. It unites disciplines like botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, mathematics & common sense, which are in turn coupled to sensible disciplines like engineering. One can look at red biotechnology (medical processes), grey biotechnology (industrial processes), green biotechnology (agricultural processes), blue biotechnology (marine & aquatic applications) and modern biotechnology also finds promising applications in pharmacogenomics, drug production, genetic testing & gene therapy (but currently attractive only to academicians). Some one inclined
