I have done my Mtech in biotechnology and now I’m finding difficult to get a job in biopharma or biotech companies because of being fresher with no experience and no one wants to hire a fresher these days. Also, I thought of doing PhD but in India I feel it takes alot more time and is a bit challenging too. Please guide me any suggestions on this !!

Ans: Ph.D is a matter of 4-6 years. It mainly depends on your Guide. If the Guide is good you can finish it within 3-4 years with hardwork and proper decisions. But if your Guide is bad then even you may not be able to finish it. So right now don't be a prey of that trap. You try for jobs, only you need to know the interview manners and etiquettes from viewing different YOU TUBE videos. All the best. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
