Politechnika Poznańska Bioinformatyka

Hejka zastanawiam się nad tym czy pójść na wspomniany wyżej kierunek sytuacja jest ciężka musiała bym się wyprowadzić a nie dużo o nim wiem. Czy są tu jacyś studenci politechniki poznańskiej którzy mogli by coś więcej powiedzieć ?
Chętnie posłucham też o samej bioinformatyce może od ludzi na innych uczelniach jeśli ktoś coś wie. :)

Rant

Literally every post here is "PCB student flunked NEET can I get into XYZ bla bla" like where are people actually doing research.. where are the PhDs and post docs and all that?? Global subreddits are so much better.. this is something all Indian subreddits are like I think.

I'm someone who did cse and am now doing ai/ml research applied to comp bio. I thought I could find Indian researchers here for advice and all instead it's just the same posts again and again.

Doing Bsc Biotechnology from tier 3 college.

Is doing bsc Biotechnology from tier 3 govt tuta phuta college where attendance isn't mandatory and lab condition is basic worth it?

I want to prepare for IIT JAM/ GAT B like exam.for further studies.

Are they going to affect if i want msc in reputed institutions or you just need to crack exams, (bsc biotechnology college doesn't matter).

For Biotech basics i study it from YouTube.

But the lack of lab and practical exposure is real.

Any advice please help...

If someone who's here from premier institute after clearing IIT JAM OR GAT or Any paid JRF program please suggest it would be very helpful.

Gave up on neet recently thinking of BSc Zoology → IIT JAM BT → PhD. Is this realistic?

I’m a 3rd-year student doing a 4-year BSc Hons Zoology from LNMU (Tier-3 college), graduating in 2028.

I’m thinking of this path:

BSc Zoology → research internships during 3rd/4th year → IIT JAM Biotechnology/GATE-B/CUET-PG → MSc at IIT ( or whatever college i get into)→ strong research experience → PhD in Germny → research career.

I’m interested in genetics, molecular biology, cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, etc.

My questions:

Am I eligible for IIT JAM Biotechnology with BSc Zoology?

Is this overall path realistic?

Can good internships/research experience

compensate for coming from a Tier-3 university? And can I get into summer/winter internships if I am from tier 3 college?

I recently decided to close the NEET chapter and pursue research, but I still have doubts sometimes. Would really appreciate honest advice from seniors ans people who know about this. I come from lil financially weak family.. am I being realistic to think all of this.

Queries from a fresher in btech biotech

Hi 👋

Im joining this year k26, I got admission through neet for btech biotech. I'm not hearing very positive things about the college and it worries me

I talked to some guy in admission dept (yk for email wgera) and he was the most frustrated and rude person ever. Im a shy and sensitive person I really dont know how I'll cope with the people 😭😭

Also ive stayed in delhi all my life- not to sound like an elitist please but pta nhi kyu I feel like Ranchi will treat me like crap. Idk why.

Okay more seriously,

Is it worth taking biotech? Does it get enough priority next to other branches? What's the campus placement like? What are the profs like?

Also if anyone could tell me the condition of girls hostels that would be a great help 🙏🙏

Senior PLZZ help ?

Need seniors' advice: B.Tech Biotechnology vs Food Technology vs another drop?

Hey seniors, I really need some guidance because I'm genuinely confused about what to do next.

I prepared for NEET and unfortunately my result this year wasn't good. After that, I appeared for the UP admission/entrance process, and my UG combined rank is around 1800 (General category).

I was hoping for BVSc, but realistically I don't think I'll get it with this rank, so now I'm completely confused about which course I should choose.

At the moment, I'm mainly considering:

B.Tech Biotechnology

B.Tech Food Technology

But I don't know much about the actual career scope, placements, salaries, higher-study options, or what life looks like after these degrees.

So if there is any senior currently studying Biotechnology/Food Technology, someone who has graduated, or someone who has experience with placements, please share your honest experience.

I'd especially like to know:

How are the placement opportunities?

What kind of jobs do graduates actually get?

Is an M.Tech/M.Sc/MBA/other higher degree necessary?

What is the scope in India?

Which of these two would you choose today and why?

Are there good government/private opportunities after graduation?

My other option is taking one more drop and preparing for government-college entrances for PCB courses—so that I could potentially get Veterinary, B.Sc Nursing, or a good paramedical/allied-health course if MBBS doesn't work out.

I'm honestly at the last stage now—counselling—and I'm scared of making the wrong decision. I don't want to take another drop blindly, but I also don't want to choose a degree without understanding its future.

Seniors, please help me out. 😭🙏

If you're studying Food Tech/Biotech or have graduated from either, please tell me your real experience, especially regarding placements and what you're doing now. Even a small bit of guidance would mean a lot.

​

I am a 29-year-old male with a BSc Biotechnology and an MSc in Environmental Science (EVS). After working in the sustainability sector for 5 years, I feel bored and am looking for a change.

I am considering pursuing a second MSc in Bioinformatics, followed by a PhD. However, I am worried about how Al might impact the field. Is this the right time to transition into bioinformatics? I would appreciate your insights.

Career option confusion

I'm a third-year NEET aspirant who has taken a partial drop year, pursuing an online BBA degree. I've realised I no longer want to pursue medical fields. My options now include B.sc. Microbiology, B.sc. Biotechnology, a four-year and an integrated M.sc. in Biotechnology, and physiotherapy or paramedical courses from private colleges. I aim for success and wealth, and course which didn't limited my boundaries and am seeking high salaries. If I secure a government security job, that's a bonus; if not, it's okay. I have a lot of interest in animals, wildlife, and nature,( didnt get vet) but I'm unsure which path to choose. I also know and like biotechnology as i have read all these 12th. I've been admitted to OUAT in B.sc. Microbiology, but I'm more interested in B.sc. Biotechnology, which has closed admissions elsewhere. I have offers from Centurion University for bsc Biotechnology and an integrated M.sc. Biotechnology program at SOA Bhubaneshwar, both in Bhubaneshwar. I'm worried about choosing the right path that prevents regret and offers high salary and growth opportunities and makes me limited. Additionally, I'm still exploring physiotherapy and paramedical counseling options as counseling r going on....all of these r in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.....
