Hi there,
It’s great that you’re planning to go for a B.Sc. in Biotechnology, it’s a field with a lot of potential and growing career options.

After doing a B.Sc. in this field, there are a lot of directions you can explore.
Scope and Career Options:

There are some Pharmaceutical Companies that hire biotech graduates for production, quality control, or testing.
Clinical and Diagnostic Labs: You can work in labs that deal with blood tests, DNA testing, etc.

If you want to go into the agricultural sector, such as genetically modified crops, organic farming, or biofertilizers.
And also you can do higher studies after graduation for M.Sc. Biotechnology, Genetics, Microbiology, or even an MBA in Healthcare Management for more opportunities.

Salary you can expect
If you are a fresher, then salaries usually start around 15,000 to 25,000 per month in private labs or companies. But with a Master’s degree and with some years of experience, you can earn 40,000 to 70,000 or even more depending on your role and the company. In research or government jobs, salaries are often better and more stable.
