Sir, we are from Mumbai and my son is studying in 11th Science. He wants to do his career in research in Biotechnology. Currently he is preparing for JEE Mains. But he wants to take admission for undergrad program in some foreign University after 12th. Is this a right decision or should he pursue his Graduation in India and then go to abroad for post graduation and research? Please advise good universities in India and abroad for biotechnology.
Ans: Your son's ambition to pursue a career in biotechnology research is admirable, as this field offers substantial opportunities across healthcare, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental sciences. The choice between studying abroad for an undergraduate degree or pursuing it in India depends on various factors, such as long-term goals, financial considerations, and the relative quality of education in each option. Pursuing an undergraduate degree abroad provides advantages including exceptional research opportunities, access to international experts, a well-rounded curriculum, and programs focused on intensive research. Nonetheless, it may also entail higher costs and standardized evaluations such as the SAT/ACT and TOEFL/IELTS. The undergraduate education in India provides a solid foundation in biotechnology, is cost-effective, and highlights the importance of competitive examinations such as the JEE. This also enables students to engage in postgraduate research abroad, providing access to global research opportunities. However, the landscape of restricted research exposure is changing.
Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Jawarlal Nehru University (JNU), VIT Vellore, SRM University, and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) provide outstanding biotechnology programs with lower tuition fees.
Prominent international universities recognized for their excellence in biotechnology encompass MIT, Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, the University of Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College London, the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, McGill University, ETH Zurich, Karolinska Institutet, and Technische Universität München.

International undergraduate programs may entail significant expenses; however, there are scholarships and financial assistance options accessible. Obtaining a bachelor's degree in India, followed by a master's or PhD abroad, can offer valuable early exposure to research opportunities. Admission readiness necessitates thorough SAT/ACT preparation and notable extracurricular accomplishments. Alternatively, attending a renowned Indian institution and moving for postgraduate studies is a feasible option.
Below are the recommended steps to follow for your son: Develop a detailed strategy for your son's education in BioTech, considering options in India or abroad. This should encompass selecting a preferred destination, preparing him for international admissions, enhancing his profile, planning for Indian college applications, and investigating scholarships and financial aid opportunities. Wishing you and your son great success in his future endeavors.

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on May 08, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - May 03, 2025

I am preparing for NEET UG. This is my second attempt. What alternatives I have if I am not able to score for GMCs. What are my options for bio tech I didn't apply for cuet. Which are best colleges for b tech in bio technology and how can I seek admission there without wasting any more of my time.
Ans: Hi,

I believe you might have completed the NEET for the second time on May 4, 2025, is that correct? What score are you aiming for? If you achieve a good score, you can aim for GMC; otherwise, consider any of the following courses:

- BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)
- BSMS (Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery)
- BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery)
- BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery)
- BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)
- BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences)

All of these courses are quite good.

Regarding your second query: Apart from NEET, you can pursue Pharmacy, Nursing, or Medical Lab Technology (MLT) instead of Biotechnology. Once you complete any of these programs, you are likely to find a job quickly. The order of preference I would recommend is Nursing, Pharmacy, and then MLT.

If you are still interested in Biotechnology, some private institutions offer the course. Before enrolling, it’s advisable to visit the campus and check the infrastructure as well as the syllabus. Many programs focus on botany-related aspects of biotechnology rather than human and animal applications. If you pursue Microbiology, you may have better job prospects.

In addition to health-related fields, you may also consider pursuing agriculture-related courses.

Since you did not provide information about your locality, I cannot comment on the best institutions available in your area.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on May 08, 2025

Relationship
Hello Gurus, i am M 30 I called a girl in an AM setup. Parents are involved and they talk to each other as well. After 2-3 months of continuous talking to her over phn i am convince their family is good and even she is a very good person. So we decided to meet her in person and also parents are meeting. Even though everything seems to be positive i want to check with you since its my first meeting in person is there any advice or suggestion that can help me navigate myself ? What things are imp to discuss even though we have discuss things over phn like emotional intelligence, kids, where to live etc. Your advice would be helpful for sure.
Ans: Dear Shan,
That’s a really good question. Before going to her place, try to build a mindset of understanding her, without any preconceived notion or pressure to get married. In terms of discussion, to understand emotional compatibility you can observe her behaviour- how she deals with stress, or how she might deal with conflict. Discuss daily life expectations, like what you like to do on weekends, do you enjoy occasional drinking or partying, do you enjoy spending time with friends, family gatherings, disciplined lifestyle, etc. Discuss about each other’s work life balance, expectations from in-laws and any non-negotiables. You should also discuss kids- if they want them, if you want them, and also when. Get clarity on expected living arrangements to avoid any future conflicts. These should be more than enough for a first-time meeting.
Hope these help
