I'm 23F and really need some honest guidance from people in biotech, research, academia, or industry.

Qualifications:

I completed my B.Sc. in Zoology, Botany, and Chemistry with 51%. Unfortunately, because of my graduation percentage and a gap after graduation due to personal circumstances, things haven't gone as planned. I waited for government university admissions this year, but the one I was hoping for is still uncertain, while Amity Lucknow has offered me admission for M.Sc. Biotechnology.

Their classes are starting soon, and if I don't join now, I'll most likely lose another academic year. I really don't want that because most of my classmates are already pursuing or completing their MSc, and I already feel behind.

My long-term goal is to build a career in biotechnology/research, and if possible, work foreign someday or pursue a PhD later.

But I'm constantly hearing things like:

"Private universities aren't worth it."

"Companies don't value private degrees."

"You'll struggle to get jobs."

It's making me question everything.
So I genuinely want to ask:
Is doing an M.Sc. Biotechnology from Amity Lucknow really a bad career decision?

Do recruiters actually judge candidates negatively just because their MSc is from a private university?

If I maintain a high CGPA, learn practical lab skills, do internships, work on my dissertation, and build a strong profile, will I still have good opportunities in research or industry?

Can someone from Amity Lucknow realistically get research jobs, industry jobs, or even opportunities out of india after MSc?

If you were in my position, would you join Amity or take another drop hoping for a better government university next year?

I'm not looking for "government vs private" debates. I'm looking for honest advice from people who are actually working in biotech, pharma, research, or who have studied at Amity.
At this point, I just don't want to make a decision that I'll regret 5–10 years from now. Any genuine advice would really help. Thank you.

I need:

Complete dental check-up

Scaling & polishing (cleaning)

Treatment for one cavity with a visible hole (food gets stuck)

Two other early-stage cavities

I'm specifically looking for a dentist who believes in ethical treatment—someone who won't suggest unnecessary root canals, crowns, or expensive procedures just to make money. I want a dentist who explains the condition honestly and recommends only what's actually needed.

Please recommend only from your personal experience. If you've had fillings, scaling, or cavity treatment done, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, the approximate cost, and whether you felt the treatment was genuine and reasonably priced.

Thanks in advance!
