Career

I am a PCMB student and was also a NEET aspirant. Back in school days I used to primarily focus on my biology than maths but would still pass my school test and exam by studying maths one night before. After school I joined a coaching in my city and prepared for NEET 2024. I scored 615 but couldn't score a decent rank. I tried again for it and in NEET 2025 my score is 501 and my rank is around 50k. But still chances of getting any government medical college even under state quota are less. I'm thinking of doing Btech in biotechnology. Reason for this is that I want to pursue MBA after graduation. And I have heard that doing MBA with an engineering background is beneficial. I thought of doing B.Sc biotech but personally I belive B.Tech is a better option cause I would get a tech degree and would also be able to study or work in biology related field and might have have an extra edge than most of the crowd. I also gave JEE. I didn't attempt any question from math section cause it's been 2 years since highschool but I still managed a rank of 98k. I am also ready for double masters after btech. With M.Tech in biotech or bioinformatics and then MBA. Please give me an insight over my career choice

Ans: There is no advantage of doing Engg over BSc if you are planning to do MBA post your degree. So pick up BTech or BSc based on your interest or how good the college is. Also if you plan to do MBA there is not use of doing MTech. Can do MBA after your graduation.
