Traditional process of diagnosis is tedious and lack of accuracy. Hence many companies are looking for Biochemists who can involve in diagnosis kit development which is coming up in India. There are several kits available for cancer, filariasis, and malaria etc., India is looking for such kind of kits for Japanese Encephalitis and Dengue for immediate diagnosis. You can be absorbed in such companies in India.

Many opportunities are at your door step. But with B.Sc. and M.Sc. you will not get any kind of good job. You can get good placements in academia and R and D after completion of Post doc or Ph.D. with good remuneration.

Jobs after M.Sc. Zoology in Bangalore:

M.Sc Zoology is a fundamental subject and very a few are opting this subject. There will be an edge to zoology students to diversify into various fields like biotech, pharma, bioinformatics etc., As such zoology students at PG level can be absorbed in various academic institutions for teaching. But my suggestion is to go for PhD either through CSIR, DBT or ICMR. Some professors will have projects where you can take up the PhD program with or without GATE score. Your can try for such opportunities. Another option, if you have dynamic qualities opt for MBA, so that later you can enter into any Pharma or any life sciences field as a manager.
