And I also dont want to continue to reseaarch in biotechnology.

Please guide me through,so as to plan my further studies in any of the fields mentioned.

and since i m not exposed to any of the field,would it require any diploma in the fileds to get an exposure..

Hoping for positive response..

Hello Ali,

In terms of Job prospects, Food Biotechnology and Bioinformatics are trending these days.

For job in food biotech sector you can get an offer with BTech only. Companies like Nestle, Dabur, FCI are frequent in recruiting.

For Bioinformatics, you will need to start your career either as a trainee (like through BCIL) or joining a start up. You can join IT MNCs like Wipro, TCS, IBM, Infosys as a software engineer to start with and later shifting to a project related to Biotechnology/ Health care. For making a good career in Bioinformatics, it is always helpful to have a support of related internship or industrial training.

Please refer the following thread for some useful information. If you find that useful do share it with your colleagues (some how Google is not displaying it in top searches despite a good popularity).
