Sir, My daughter is in a perplexed state of mind. She is in dillema whether she go for Sociology or Bio-tech. In case, her dream of Civil Services is not achieved, should she go for Bio-tech in Graduation. She also wants what scope does she have in case see opt for Graduation in Bio-tech for Civil Services. What are the good Govt colleges to do Graduation in Bio-tech?

Ans: To determine her interests, aptitude, personality traits, and orientation style, it is highly recommended to arrange an online Psychometric Test. The test report will provide valuable insights into the most suitable career paths for her.

If she is considering engineering, appearing for JEE or other Engineering Entrance Exams is advisable. Additionally, having CUET-UG as a backup is a wise choice to ensure broader opportunities.

For those passionate about science and research, Biotechnology is a promising field. It offers diverse career prospects in biopharmaceuticals, medical research, environmental science, and food technology. She can also explore government career opportunities by appearing for exams such as CSIR-NET, ICMR, DRDO, and FSSAI.

However, if her ultimate goal is to join the Civil Services, opting for Sociology can be advantageous. It is a popular subject for the UPSC Mains exam and also opens career avenues in academia, NGOs, policy-making, and journalism, serving as a strong backup option.
