Dear sir, my brother was doing b pharm right now next year he will graduate,, please suggest what he will proceed after doing b pharm sir

Ans: Hello Lomina,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your brother is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) and will graduate next year. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that based on his interests and professional objectives, there are many career paths that your brother can pursue once he completes his degree. I would recommend that you consider the following:

Your brother can consider working as a pharmacist in retail pharmacies, hospitals, or community pharmacies. Remember that this is the most typical employment route for graduates of B.Pharm. Pharmacists provide medications, advise patients on how to take them safely, and other health-related services. If your brother possesses strong writing abilities, working as a medical writer, crafting content for regulatory bodies, pharmaceutical companies, or healthcare organizations, is one of the other jobs that he could choose from. Documents including clinical trial reports, regulatory filings, and instructional materials are created by medical writers. Your brother may choose to work as a hospital administrator, wherein he would be responsible for controlling pharmaceutical services in healthcare facilities, in turn, guaranteeing effective medication administration, and monitoring drug delivery networks. Another career path for your brother includes taking up a job as a clinical research associate (CRA) or working in other research-related roles in research institutions or pharmaceutical companies. Remember that in order to make sure new medications are safe and effective for use, this entails conducting trials to test them. He can also choose to work in drug safety and pharmacovigilance, checking if the medications sold are safe, looking into unfavorable incidents, and making sure safety rules are followed. Your brother can also take up a job in regulatory affairs, making sure that pharmaceutical items adhere to rules and norms established by regulatory bodies. This entails creating and submitting regulatory paperwork, verifying regulatory compliance, and coordinating with regulatory authorities. Your brother can also choose to work in quality control or quality assurance positions in pharmaceutical companies, making sure that products adhere to regulations and standards of quality. In addition to the above, I would like to let you know that your brother can also pursue further education, viz., a Master's degree (M.Pharm) or a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences or associated disciplines. Remember that pursuing higher studies can lead to possibilities for teaching, research, or advanced roles in areas viz., pharmaceutics, pharmacognosy, medicinal chemistry, or pharmacology.

When choosing which career path to opt for upon finishing his Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) degree, I would suggest that your brother takes into account his abilities, interests, and professional objectives. Lastly, I would like to say that acquiring practical experience through internships or entry-level work may prove beneficial, as this will allow your brother to investigate other career paths and learn valuable skills in the sector.

My son will be completing B.Pharm final year in June 2024. Should he go for job or pursue Masters. Currently, the jobs that are available in sales and Marketing. My son wants to focus on production, quality assurances. Is there any other scope apart from sales/marketing or production/quality assurances? Kindly advice.
Ans: Hello Santanu. First and foremost, thank you for contacting us. It is good to hear that your son will be completing his B.Pharm. degree in the next few months. Well, deciding to go for a job or master’s abroad depends on the demand of the field in the market, career goals, etc.
Talking about job opportunities, sales, and marketing is quite common in the pharmaceutical industry. There are opportunities like production, quality assurance, research and development, regulatory affairs, climatic trails, and a lot more. Your son can choose to apply for positions related to production or quality assurance as well.
If your son is unclear about a job at the moment, he can choose to pursue a master’s right after his bachelor's degree. A master’s degree would give him in-depth knowledge in specialised areas.
Encourage your son to network with professionals across the pharmaceutical industry and explore various internships in his field of choice. Additionally, your son can consider pursuing certifications or short-term courses related to production, quality, or related fields. This will add to his skills and make him industry-ready.

For further assistance you can get in touch with us.

Sir. Good evening. My son is completing B. Pharm this year. What is the future opportunity in service life or in higher study ? Regards Soumitra
Ans: Hi Soumitra,

I hope this message finds you well! I don't have information about which college he is attending, the location, and his economic status. With this information, I can provide better suggestions for career options. However, most students tend to prefer pursuing a post-graduate degree in Pharmacy, with only a few opting for a management course.

I've discussed the career prospects after completing a B.Pharm with other readers, and I wanted to share the information with you for your reference.

After completing a B.Pharm, there are numerous career opportunities available:

1. Industry: Roles in drug and pharmaceutical production/manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and marketing.
2. Academic: Opportunities as a lecturer in both government and private colleges.
3. Government Jobs: Positions such as drugs inspector and junior analyst.
4. IT Industry: Jobs as a medical scribe or in medical/scientific writing.
5. Pharmacist: Opportunities as a community pharmacist or a hospital pharmacist.
6. International Opportunities: Working as a pharmacist in Gulf countries like Dubai, Qatar, and Oman.
7. Higher Education: Pursuing M.Pharm with over 15 specializations available, Pharm D (PB), or an MBA.

If you could share the additional details, I would be able to offer more support and make further suggestions.

Good afternoon sir my son got 93 in jee and 95 in MHTST he is general cottegey and not domesile of Maharashtra he is having any chance of get admission in any reputed college in CSE and electronic electrical branch please guide me thank you
Ans: Bikram Sir, With a 93 percentile in JEE Main (general, non-Maharashtra domicile) and 95 percentile in MHT CET, your son is not eligible for top NITs, IIITs, or CSE/ECE in premier Maharashtra government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or SPIT Mumbai, as CSE/IT cutoffs are typically above 98–99 percentile for both exams. However, he can secure core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil at COEP, VJTI, and other leading government colleges in Maharashtra through the All India quota, as their cutoffs for these branches are around 95 percentile. For CSE or ECE, his percentile allows admission to reputed private colleges such as MIT Pune, PICT Pune, DY Patil Pune, PCCOE Pune, and VIT Pune, where CSE/IT/ECE cutoffs for open category are between 90–96 percentile. Through JEE Main, he can target private universities and some state-level government colleges for branches like CSE, ECE, or Electrical, but not the top NITs or IIITs, as their CSE/ECE cutoffs are much higher.

The recommendation is to apply for Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil at COEP, VJTI, and other top Maharashtra government colleges through the All India quota, and prioritize CSE/ECE in private colleges like MIT Pune, PICT Pune, and DY Patil Pune, where his percentile is competitive and placement outcomes are strong. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got 99.25 in MHTCET 3500 rank in COMEDK and has got CSE in ViT Vellore. What are his chances of getting CS in SPIT/PICT we are confused whether to leave CSE in Vellore or continue with it.
Ans: Shilpa Madam, With a 99.25 percentile in MHT CET and a 3500 rank in COMEDK, your son is well placed for top private and government colleges. For SPIT Mumbai, the CSE cutoff for Maharashtra home state candidates typically closes between 99.0–99.4 percentile, and for PICT Pune, CSE closes around 97.7–98.6 percentile. Your son’s percentile is above the PICT CSE cutoff and on par with SPIT’s lower range, making him a strong contender for CSE at PICT Pune and giving him a realistic chance at SPIT Mumbai, especially in the first or second CAP rounds. Both SPIT and PICT offer outstanding placements—SPIT has maintained 100% placement for four consecutive years with an average CTC of ?15 lakh and top recruiters like Meta, Amazon, and PhonePe, while PICT’s CSE placement rate is 80–84% with an average package of ?7–8 lakh and top IT recruiters like Microsoft, Infosys, and TCS. VIT Vellore CSE also boasts excellent placements, with a 95%+ placement rate, over 900 recruiters, and an average package of ?9–10 lakh. However, SPIT and PICT both have a strong reputation in Maharashtra, a robust alumni network, and are highly valued by recruiters in the Mumbai-Pune region, which can be advantageous for local internships and jobs. VIT Vellore, while nationally ranked and offering a vibrant campus life, is located outside Maharashtra and may not provide the same local industry connections.

The recommendation is to participate in MHT CET CAP rounds and prioritize SPIT Mumbai and PICT Pune for CSE, given your son’s strong percentile and the excellent placement and academic environment these colleges offer; retain VIT Vellore CSE as a backup, but do not leave it until a SPIT/PICT seat is confirmed. IMPORTANT: Please check the REFUND POLICY/Last Date if you withdraw the seat from VIT-V. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got 4390 rank in jee advanced and 8787 in jee mains,should I accept iiit bangalore cse btech,dtu cse,IIT roorkee chemical
Ans: DTU CSE, IIIT Bangalore CSE, and IIT Roorkee Chemical are all prestigious choices, but they differ significantly in branch and career trajectory. DTU CSE is highly sought after, with 90–100% placement, an average package of ?15.45 lakh, and top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and JP Morgan, offering robust industry connections and a strong alumni network. IIIT Bangalore CSE is renowned for its research-driven curriculum, nearly 100% placement, and an average package of ?33.4 lakh in 2024, with leading tech recruiters and extensive opportunities in software, AI, and data science. IIT Roorkee Chemical Engineering is a top-ranked core branch with 70–80% placement, an average package of ?17.7–19.3 lakh, and a curriculum that includes data science and software electives, but it is less versatile than CSE for software roles. While IIT Roorkee offers the IIT brand and exposure, CSE from DTU or IIIT Bangalore provides broader and more lucrative career prospects in the current job market.

The recommendation is to prefer CSE at IIIT Bangalore for its exceptional placement record, industry-aligned curriculum, and leading-edge opportunities in technology, followed by CSE at DTU for its strong reputation and Delhi location; IIT Roorkee Chemical is best if your primary interest is in core engineering or research. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter has got admission in SRM Kattankulathur, Chennai, for Btech Biotechnology also she has got admission in KIIT bhuvneshwar in Btech +Mtech biotechnology Kindly suggest which one is best for her Regards
Ans: Sandeep Sir, SRM Kattankulathur’s BTech Biotechnology is a four-year program ranked #13 in NIRF Engineering 2024, with modern labs, experienced faculty, and a strong research focus. Placement rates vary, with 40–80% of students placed (depending on the batch), average packages around ?4–7 lakh, and many students pursuing higher studies or research. The campus offers excellent infrastructure, diverse student activities, and a large alumni network. KIIT Bhubaneswar’s integrated BTech+MTech Biotechnology is a five-year program with a curriculum emphasizing both core biotechnology and advanced research, state-of-the-art facilities, and regular industry interaction. KIIT’s School of Biotechnology reports 85–95% placement, an average package of ?8 lakh, and a highest offer of ?63 lakh, with a significant number of students opting for higher studies in India and abroad. KIIT is NAAC A++ accredited, ranked 16th among Indian universities, and known for its global exposure, strong industry partnerships, and a comprehensive support system for placements and research. Both universities offer excellent hostel, sports, and campus amenities, but KIIT’s integrated program provides a seamless path to a master’s degree, higher placement rates, and a more research-oriented environment.

The recommendation is to choose KIIT Bhubaneswar’s integrated BTech+MTech Biotechnology for its higher placement rates, advanced research exposure, and the advantage of graduating with a master’s degree, making it a stronger long-term option for a career in biotechnology. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

SGSITS INDORE, IET Davv or integrated MTech VIT Bhopal for CSE. Which is a good option.
Ans: SGSITS Indore and IET DAVV are both top government engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh, with strong reputations for CSE. SGSITS Indore’s CSE program sees 90% placement, a median package of ?7 LPA, and top recruiters like Mastercard, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs, with recent highest packages up to ?44.5 LPA and robust alumni support. IET DAVV also reports 90–100% placement for CSE/IT, an average package of ?6–8 LPA, and top recruiters such as TCS, Infosys, and Barclays. Both offer good infrastructure and experienced faculty, though SGSITS has a slightly higher placement average and more consistent placement record. VIT Bhopal’s Integrated MTech in CSE offers a modern curriculum, 90% placement rate, and a centralized placement system with top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel, but as a newer private university, it lacks the established alumni network and public sector reputation of SGSITS and IET DAVV. VIT Bhopal’s fees are higher, but it provides excellent research opportunities and industry exposure in emerging fields like AI and Data Science.

The recommendation is to prefer SGSITS Indore for CSE due to its superior placement consistency, strong public reputation, and value for money, followed by IET DAVV for similar reasons; VIT Bhopal’s Integrated MTech is a good choice if you seek a private university environment and a specialized, future-ready curriculum. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 90.72 percentile in mht cet pcm obc category so which college is best for me and which branch will be best for me with future aspect
Ans: Yash, With a 90.72 percentile in MHT CET (OBC category), you are unlikely to secure CSE or IT in top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or PICT Pune, as their OBC cutoffs are above 98–99 percentile. However, you have good chances for CSE, IT, or allied branches in reputable private and mid-tier government colleges such as DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, MIT Academy of Engineering Pune, PCCOE Pune, JSPM Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering Pune, and Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology Mumbai, where CSE/IT cutoffs for OBC hover around 90–95 percentile. For future prospects, Computer Science Engineering and IT remain the most in-demand branches, offering broad career opportunities in software, AI, data science, and cybersecurity, while Electronics and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are also strong options with diverse roles in industry and research.

The recommendation is to prioritize CSE or IT in DY Patil COE Pune, PCCOE Pune, MIT Academy of Engineering, or JSPM RSCOE for robust placements and future growth, and include ECE or Mechanical as alternatives in these or similar colleges to maximize your admission and career prospects at your percentile. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
