Need Some Serious Career Advice , I'm Soo Confused Right Now

myquals : 12th graduate

I'm getting government MBBS seats in colleges in 8 recently established colleges in karnataka (2016-2022). At the same time, I'm getting Biotechnology in top engineering colleges in Karnataka (including colleges like RVCE).

I'm genuinely passionate about Biotechnology, but I honestly don't enjoy coding and MBBS was never my dream from the beginning.

The main reasons I'm considering medicine are my father's dream, the respect associated with being a doctor, and the relatively secure career path.

I also have a long-term goal of preparing for UPSC and would love to become an IRS officer someday. I feel engineering might give me more flexibility for that, but I'm worried about financial independence and career prospects in Biotechnology.

If you were in my position, what would you choose and why? Especially looking for opinions from doctors, biotech graduates, engineers, and UPSC aspirants.

Amity Kolkata vs KIIT Odisha

Hey guys I am a guy from Kolkata so I have 2 options either I go to Amity Kolkata which is in my state or KIIT Odisha which is near my state. I heard Amity Kolkata is a pretty good college with well equipped labs and professors and it is near the new town area where new companies are constantly coming,So I am hopeful I can maybe get some placement after biotech 4years later then there is KIIT which is a very renowned private college for engineering which one should I prefer?

Is doing an M.Sc. Biotechnology from a private university (Amity Lucknow) a bad decision? I don't want to lose another year

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.

academic dilemma for masters

before anything, i would like to say that, based on my current interests, i do NOT immediately want to do a phd, if at all i do a phd later, i would prefer if it is abroad. i wish to join the industry for jobs.

currently i've finished my 3rd year of bsc. hons. microbiology at DU and since i'm of the NEP batch, i can either exit now or continue to a 4th year, which will get me a bsc. hons. with research degree in microbiology.

i've qualified for GAT B this year and i've been selected at visva bharati for msc in biotechnology, i might also get selected at pondicherry university for msc in biotech (🤞).

now, my question is, since i want to go for a job, should i accept the msc seat at VBU, or PU (if i get it later)? or should i go for the 4th year and appear for GATE then take admission in M.Tech (yes, i'm eligible for this, thanks to NEP) and if M.Tech doesn't work out next year since seats are less, then an M.Sc at a good institute like IIT or IISc, etc.?

(also, i'm already pursuing Data Science and Applications from IITM, in parallel)

kindly tell me what the best option would be, i have got less than 24 hours to accept the seat at VBU
