Answer: After M.Tech in Biotechnology you can go for the job but pay package depends on your talent and on the reputation of institute from where you are pursuing your course. If you are interested in research work then you can further go for specialization and can pursue PhD in any of the Life Science topic. For Biotechnologist Foreign countries offer much more opportunities then our country. If you get an opportunity of pursuing PhD abroad then obviously go for it. You can apply in any of the Pharma /Biotech companies. Some of the companies are:
Biocon
Serum Institute of India
Panacea Biotec
Nicholas Piramal
Wockhadrt Limited
GlaxoSmithKline
Bharat Serum
Krebs Biochemicals and Industries Limited
Zydus Cadila
Indian Immunologicals
