Career options after 12th std for science students:
I may not be an expert on this matter but would still like to contribute from how much little that I know.
This is what can be done if u had great passion to be a doctor or a specialize in the field in biology and for some reason you could not persue M the BBS.
So what do you do
SOME CAREER OPTIONS YOU MAY WANT TO EXPLORE
First ask yourself few WHAT questions:
1. What are you good at?
2. What is that fascinates u ?
3. What do you see yourself in future doing ?
Each one of us are good at something only we have explore our capabilities and then look outside what are the opportunities.
ok once we are done with that you are ready.
The option that I know of :
1.Biomedical engineering courses :
If you think like engineer but want to be associated with the doctors.
Then bio medical engineering is right choice.These are engineers that deal with designing medical or hospital related instruments.Pretty interesting if u are interested.
Colleges offering the course in Mumbai: Thadomal Shahani(Bandra),D J shangavi(Vileparle), MGM College ( Navi Mumbai)there may be many other colleges u need to explore.
2.Food Science:
This is a couse that if u have interest in Food and dietician.First this course was a diploma offered in SNDT after third year science.Now this course on the similiar lines or much better than that offered in Mumbai University after 12th standard.Career options good in food industry and catering industry.
College : Mithibai College of Science (Vileparle West).
3.Biochemistry:
If u are a person who are fasinated with organic chemistry as well as bioscience. Then this is the right choice. The career options are good in pharmaceutical, cosmetic industry in formulations , research and developement .If u are a very scientist kind of a person this is the right choice.
College: Ruia College (Matunga),Mithibai College (Vileparle West),xaviers College ( Churchgate)
4.Microbiology:
if u are person who has lot of fascination for the invisible world of germs and where they come from you are the right choice for the field.germs are good and bad .So u are the person who look for good germs then u have career options in fermentation industry, cheese industry. If are the person in look out for the bad germs and ways and means to kill them then u can be associated with research in institutes .QC testing in pharma, cosmetic industry,research.Microbiologist are very much in demand in lot of pharma and cosmetic industry.
Colleges:Xaviers (Churchgate),SIES(sion),Mithibai and Sathe (Vileparle)
5.Food Technology:
This is the course available at IIT Powai.
6.Biotechnology: at Kalina university (Santacruz east)
These are some of the couses that I know of .
And there are many more things that you can explore after your graduation in science.U can do your doctarate or post doctarate in particular subject that fascinates you.So u still stand a chance to call yourself "Dr" X,Y ,zee....
So this message goes to all the people who are 18yrs and think that being a doctor or MBBS is the only profession that u can look out for.
There is a lot that one can do .
Being a doctor is a noble profession and I admire people who become one.
But in the 21st century you have lot of other options .....at the click of the mouse .
Career:Important decision of life ,so think hard and think right.but most important make the right choice.
