Cells and bytes
I want to know more about bioinformatics.
Bioinformatics is about applying information technology to biotechnology. You can find job opportunities in pharmaceutical laboratories, industrial and experimental studies of crops, government departments and patent offices.
Is it necessary to have taken Biology in the 11th and 12th standards to take Biotechnology in college?
No. It is not necessary, unless you want to do agri-biotechnology.
What are the prospects of a job four years down the road for a biotechnology graduate?
In India, as of now, Agri-Bio Technology has a major share (40 per cent). The other top fields include Industrial Bio-technology (20 per cent), human bio-technology (20 per cent) and bio-information 20 per cent. Agri-bio technology has a lot of prospects abroad, particularly in Germany and the U.S. Germany is indeed catching up.
What kind of job will I get after B.Sc. Biotechnology?
If you are serious about biotechnology, you should prepare yourself for a long haul. If you are interested in a job and career after four years, don't take biotechnology. It requires more study. So think about it carefully, if you are not going to be able to follow the bachelor degree with an M.Sc. and Ph.D.
