The scope of Bioinformatics in both Industry or Research in Indka is comparatively low, though nowadays you see many of the IITs working on Bioinformatics and similar domains. You may even plan a Masters or PhD abroad in Bioinformatics for better career scope and placement prospects.

After a Bachelors Degree in Physics, incase you are interested in Bioinformatics, Biophysics and similar interdisciplinary fields, first try getting a couple of Research Internships/Projects with some Professors from Top IITs or your Home Institutes. The Summer Reseach Fellowship Program is another good means and you may opt for an Internship at Institutions like IISc Bangalore, IISERs or CSIR Labs.

Following which try developing your profile with Projects, Skills, Accolades and Research Interests, followed by applying for various Universities abroad, once you are done with Respective Examinations like GRE, IELTS, Etc. You may appear for GATE in Physics/Biotechnology (Do Check Requirements for Respective IITs, IISc Bangalore) followed by a M.Tech/MS from some of the Elite Research Institutions of India.
