MSc in biotech gets you better opportunities

Dear Sir,

Ganapati Hegde, Sirsi

Dear Ganapati,

There are a number of universities offering various PG diplomas in biotechnology in Karnataka, notable ones being Rai Technology University Bangalore and Vijayanagara Sri Krishnadevaraya University Ballari. Selection is done through their own entrance exams. Explore the possibilities of taking up an MSc in the same subject as that will give you better employment opportunities than a Diploma.

Dear Chandrashekar,

There are hundreds of BEd Colleges all over Karnataka, including government, aided (where fees are low) and private ones. You need a degree to apply to these colleges. Whichever one you are applying to, check whether it is recognised by National Council for Teacher Education.
