So, currently I am in my final year of a 3 year bachelor's degree in biotechnology. I am so confused about what to do after. I am not that interested in going for research but, I definitely want to explore the entrepreneurial side of this field in future. In India, master's program in biotechnology are not that great (as far as I have researched). Is going for an MBA a better option or should I look for master's program abroad? Now the current market abroad is also struggling and the biasness against Indians is also increasing. What are the options and opportunities available for biotech graduates (bachelor's) immediately after getting out of college??

Ans: If your goal is to venture into the entrepreneurial side of biotech, pursuing an MBA in entrepreneurship or biotech management would provide you with the business acumen to succeed.
If you're keen on deepening your technical expertise, a master’s abroad in biotechnology could give you exposure to innovation and international markets.
For immediate post-bachelor's jobs, look for opportunities in biotech firms, government roles, or startups while building entrepreneurial skills through internships or certifications.
