Question by Nandu on Nov 16, 2024Hindi

Career

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry

Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards

Career

Sir, I am girl student of b.pharmcy...i got confused, which type of job , I can do after complete my graduation?

Ans: Hi Seema,
I hope you're doing well. It's difficult to suggest a job without knowing more about your background, such as your location, family background, and any future plans you may have. If you provide further details, I can give you better suggestions. However, for now, I recommend pursuing a career in marketing as it could be a good option for your future.

Between bsc chemistry and bsc microbiology which has better job options in india as well as abroad ? I dont know what i want to do in the future plz help me

Ans: Prefer B.sc. Microbiology, which offers broader and more in-demand job options in India and abroad than B.sc. Chemistry, especially in healthcare, biotech, and research. If you don't know what you want to do in the future, try to consult a counsellor for an in-person, one-to-one talk.

How is k j somaiya college of engineering collage?

Ans: Piyush, K J Somaiya School of Engineering (KJSSE), established in 1983 in Mumbai, holds a solid reputation among the city's autonomous engineering colleges, ranked in the NIRF 151-200 band. Its 65-acre Vidyavihar campus supports vibrant academics, cultural events, and active clubs. The college's strengths include consistent placement performance, with the 2024-25 average package at 8.63 LPA and a highest package of 51.72 LPA, involving 146 companies and 360 offers. Faculty support, infrastructure, and a strong alumni network are highly regarded for career assistance. However, some students mention crowded hostels and occasional administrative delays, though these issues are improving yearly. Additionally, core engineering branches face slightly less recruiter diversity compared to IT and CSE. Overall, KJSSE remains a worthwhile choice for a balanced engineering education in Mumbai. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
