Subject: MBA OR MSC IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
Date: 19-Aug-2008
Question: WHICH IS BETTER MBA OR MSC IN BIOTECHNOLOGY.
Answer: It depends on your interest and aptitude. If you want to enter research area of teaching then you can opt for M.Sc.Biotech research institute/laboratories provide top-level job opportunities to M.Tech./M.Sc / Ph.D. holders. But if you have an aptitude for managerial kind of work then you can go MBA.As the work areas of MBA are marketing, quality control, food Manufacturing, etc.

But if you choose in favor of MBA, I would suggest you to go MBA general or in finance or marketing as I think the biotech and pharma industry needs more of MBA's from finance n marketing n international business rather than MBA biotech.With your biotechnology graduation degree and an MBA in finance or marketing, it would be easier for you to get a better start.

All the best
