If we consider the job market of today, then a person having Informatics skills will be valued at a much higher rank than a person who has a food technology degree. Moreover, after getting your B.Sc in Bioinformatics you can apply for jobs in government services like forensics laboratory, crime department of police, CBI etc.

There is an increasing demand of people with Bioinformatics skills nowadays, from drug discovery to solving cases, they are everywhere. So, it would be a wise decision to go for Bioinformatics rather than Food Technology.

Hope I have answered your question. All the best!

Hi,

For the M. Sc. Course in Bioinformatics –

The candidates interested in pursuing a Masters degree in Bioinformatics can appear for national-level tests, as well as private examinations. The details are given below:

• National Level Exams – GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering)
• Private Exams - JNU CEEB Combined Biotechnology Exam, Indian Institute of Information Technology All India Entrance Exam, Institute of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology, University of Pune Entrance Exam are some of the most popular entrance exams held by Private Universities.
• You can get admission in your concerned state university by their own University level entrance examination.

BSc Bioinformatics colleges with fees less than Rs. 1 lacs for the entire course, in India are provided below:

GCG 42 Chandigarh - Post Graduate Government College for Girls Sector 42

Deogiri College, Aurangabad

Mahatma Gandhi Missions College of Computer Science and Information Technology, Nanded

This have the lesser fees, for other colleges, the fees are greater than 1lacs. I am providing below the link through which you can check out the other BSc in Bioinformatics colleges-

I hope this helps. Wish you a great eve!

This year VIT witnessed 85% placement of the whole batch of computer science specialising in bioinformatics within the first 4 months of the placement drive . If placement is why you want to join bioinformatics then be assured that you are going to land up with the job of about 4 to 5 lacs.

hello aspirant,

Looking at the previous year VITEEE cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in Bioinformatics, the closing rank required in VITEEE exam to get CSE specialization in Bioinformatics was within 10K. So, you cannot get CSE Specialization in Bioinformatics in VIT Vellore in category 1. However, hyou can still get this branch by paying more fees in lower category like in category 4 or category 5.

further, to know more about the VITEEE Cutoff for previous years, you can follow the below mentioned link to know more : https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/viteee-cutoff

I hope that this will help.

Hello,

India provides a wide range of opportunities for bioinformatics or biomedical engineering.

Scope of doing it are as follows :-

• Some OEM Manufacturing Companies will also hire research engineers.
• In hospitals, you can work as a biomedical engineer.
• After completing a biomedical engineering degree, you may find employment as a sales, service, or application specialist at select MNCs.
• You may become a biomedical entrepreneur; of all engineering specialties, biomedical engineering has the most potential for this.
• To become a hospital manager, in which you have complete authority over hospitals, you can seek an MBA in hospital management or hospital administration.

Benefits of a Bioinformatics or Biomedical Engineering Career

• It entails learning about every branch of engineering, including nanotechnology, mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering.
• Due of the vast research prospects in this sector and the oversaturation of other engineering disciplines, all engineering disciplines now desire to conduct research in biomedicine.
• If you have a desire to work closely with hospitals and doctors in the past, biomedical engineering will help you achieve that goal.

Good Luck!!

Data analytics is the most booming industry, not only in India but worldwide. There is a need of Data Scientists in every domain nowadays, be it biology, mechanical or physics. So, you can definitely get into analytics after medical or biology in India.

The placements in this sector id also very good, with the average salary of Data Engineer in India being above 7LPA. So, this is a very good field and you can come in into it anytime. All the best!
