Hello aspirant,

Biomedical Science deals with the organs and systems of the body.It is important when dealing with human diseases. Life sciences on the other hand has a wide range of topics from biochemistry to zoology.

Owing to this wide range of topics of study in life sciences, I would suggest life sciences is a better option. It will give you numerous opportunities in the future.

The average starting salary of bsc life science graduate is between 1.2-4Lpa. As you progress the career ladder in this respective field you will be earning more.

Job positions that you can work for are:
Researcher, Epidemiologist, Professor, Biomedical Engineer, even a, Pathologist

After completing the biomedical science, you can work as a researcher,  biomedical scientist, etc.

The starting average salary is somewhat similar to life sciences.It is between 1.8 to 4 lacs

If you look at the course content life sciences is a better choice. But in the end depends on your priorities and interest.

I hope this information helps!
