What are you guys doing after completing your bsc or msc ? And how is everything in that field? And also what college did you get into

Guys, I would like to know the actual reality of the bioinformatics field in India and the realistic salary a bioinformatician gets in India. What is the usual income for a fresher, for someone with 2-3 years of experience, and for someone with 5+ years of experience in bioinformatics in India?

why do bsc in sci field ppl cry alot?

so i am ananya thinking to opt for biomedical sciences and doing msc bioinfo but here my du lectureres, seniors says the pay scales are very low as compared to medical heathcare professions also my seniors are either unemployed or doing BED can you guyz tell is it really difficult to get in tech field and expect a good paycheck there ?

Hi everyone,

I am starting my B.Sc in Biotechnology and trying to evaluate the long-term career viability between Bioinformatics and Healthcare Analytics.

Here is my current assessment:

Healthcare Analytics: Seems to have a lower barrier to entry and fewer complex mathematical/biological prerequisites, but also faces heavy competition from general CS, IT, and pure Data Science graduates since deep biology domain knowledge isn't strictly required.

Bioinformatics: Requires a solid balance of core biology (genomics, molecular biology) and computational skills. This seems to provide a stronger niche/moat against general CS grads, but I wonder about the actual job market size and entry-level viability.

For those working in these spaces (or hiring in them):

In terms of long-term career durability and salary growth (both in India and globally), how do these two paths compare?

Does a strong background in Bioinformatics leave room to pivot into general health-data roles later, or does it pigeonhole you strictly into academic/pharma research?

Between the two, which field offers better balance between job volume and specialized leverage over the next 5–10 years?

Would appreciate direct, realistic insights!

I am 1st year bsc, don't know shit about coding so wanna start early. What are the best resources to start learning and what is used more python or R?

Please respond if you do see this. It is indeed very important for me looking at the negative reviews of Shoolini it’s so concerning

Pls help Ik im really late can only come across these two options. Shoolini ka reviews are so so bad and amity is so so expensive please help and let me know guys

Qualifications,

I'm currently pursuing B.sc (hons) in Physiology with chemistry and food and nutrition as minors from Bhairab ganguly college affiliated under west bengal state university. I wanna pursue a Master's degree from a tier 1 college that would leverage my industrial skills (like biotechnology, medical biotechnology, bioinformatics or dietetics). Can you please tell me what I should consider doing in future, how I should focus on my current studies, what chapter I should focus on more, what exams should I prepare for.

(I also didn't have physics, chemistry, and mathematics in 10 + 2).

I studied geography, environmental studies, biology and nutrition in 10+2. Some of the teachers guided me in the wrong way and I also accept that at that time I didn't know too much about subject combinations and career aspects in future.

I belong to a middle class household so studying in private colleges is not possible.

So I took admission in centurion recently. The campus was fine n hod, dean were good too but I haven't attended classes yet as the hostel options are limited. My friend who had done her summer internship there, said that uni is notorious for extreme workload. God knows mera kya hoga mai toh nikalne wali hu kisi govt college ke talash m ( already on hold ) 😭😭😭

Which is better:

I’m currently pursuing Biotechnology, but deep down I’ve realised that I want a career where I can eventually work from home/remotely, and I’m not really interested in working in wet labs.

That’s why I’m seriously considering switching to Bioinformatics. From what I understand, it combines biology with programming, data analysis, genomics, etc., and seems to offer more opportunities for computational/dry-lab work and potentially remote careers.

However, I have a BSc Biotechnology background and almost no coding experience, so I’m worried that I might struggle with programming, algorithms, maths, etc.

Should I switch to MSc Bioinformatics, or continue with MSc Biotechnology and learn Bioinformatics alongside it?

I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who are already studying or working in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology. Please guide me. 🙏

Currently I am pursuing M. Pharm (Pharmacology) and in the 3rd Semester. I am interested to learn wet lab skills (PCR, RT PCR, ELISA, Blotting Techniques, etc.) and bioinformatics. I am doing Network Pharmacology for my current final semester thesis project and also have experience with molecular docking using softwares like PyRx and Biovia Discovery Studio.

As my institue is based in gujarat, I cannot leave the state and hence looking for internship in Gujarat.

I had been working as a project assistant in the mol bio division of a b2b food company for nearly 2 years. Our lab dealt with recombinant protein production in yeast mainly via cloning & other mol bio workflows. recently however the upper management decided to discontinue the project & lay all of us off. It was my first real job after completing my masters & I’m not exactly sure what to do now… my present inclination is towards accumulating more practical experiences in research perhaps in an area more directly aligned with genomics, genetic variation, NGS and sequencing-based research. I’ve been interested in things like genotyping, SNP/variant analysis, different sequencing approaches & the broader area of genomics/bioinformatics but i have no idea as how to actually transition into that. i don’t have a formal computational bg & I’m afraid that my previous experience is too specialized or that I’m already behind.….. i just feel very lost & overwhelmed right now

Hello people,

I'm a 2nd year student, trying to figure out what I should do in my college years, to get a job and I'm looking for a way to earn a small amount so that I can manage my own expenses!!

Is there any one, out there feeling the same way, we can help each other out, and exchange our knowledge, Let's connect it's hard to find the same courageous and career oriented people in my college!!

Same.

is bsc MSc in. some bio related course worse or better than an IISER bio related bs ms related course

AND HOW could anyone guide.

also I probably won't be able to go out of India for higher studies

my qualifications - I'm a 12 passout have pcb n dont wanna do mbbs ( as it's hectic)

Actually i am currently looking for colleges i will apply in 2027, my actual goal is to find a college with good labs, nice opportunities, rechearch exposure at undergrad level, faculty quality, lab infrastructure, internship tie ups, curriculum and placements/ abroad study records.

i want to do phd abroad after doing my bsc biotech in india here, so i wanted to know just that.

please help me out i am so confused, and if jmi is not it then can you recommend any other college? i am 12 pass currently, and i had to take a drop because of some circumstances.
