How can I make a career in biotechnology (please don't suggest to drop the idea. I'm genuinely interested in this field. Read body text)

12th PCB 96%. I have a strong command over english as well. I'm good in academics and want to persue biotechnology for higher studies.

I've applied to mount carmel college in Bengaluru after talking to alumni. The only doubt i have is that they offer 3 years degree. Whereas some people suggested to go for 4years honours degree or btech in biotechnology.

I've also applied to VIT and MS Ramaiah university.

What other colleges should I apply to (for bsc and/or btech)? Should I prefer 4years program or 3 years degree? I will definitely have to do masters as well.

How can I make the best out of my degree in biotechnology? I can think of three routes

  1. Doing bsc and then appearing for GAT-B and doing masters from any central uni.

  2. Enroll in bsc msc integrated program and then persue phd abroad

  3. Do btech biotech and sit for placements. Get some industrial experience and then try for MBA (to break into management roles at biotech companies)

What could be the best option for me ?
