Hey.

I got an AIR of 84 in GATE 2016 (BT). How and what should I prepare for written/interview at IIT-M for MS ® programme ?

Secondly, my interview dates for IIT-Bombay (M. Tech in BE) and IIT-Kanpur (M. Tech. in Biological Sciences) are clashing. Which institute shall I choose and why and preparation tips for the same (written and interview).
P.S. It would be really helpful if data related to number of intakes (seats) and any other thing (differences) for II-B and IIT-K are provided.

Choice of M.Tech course after M.Sc. Biotechnology.

I am a final year M.Sc. student of Calcutta university pursuing my masters in Biotechnology. I have qualified for GATE this year in Biotech paper with an AIR of 252 and GATE score of 550. I had made up my mind to pursue M.Tech after M.Sc. ; but sadly my rank was not that great in GATE 2016. I had sorted out and wish to apply in any of the three courses in different IITs and NITs which are Environmental Engineering in IIT Delhi, Kanpur and NIT Surathkal, Bioprocess engineering in IIT Roorkee and Industrial Biotech in NIT Surathkal. Sadly, I did not meet the gate cutoff criteria in IITD and IITK. So now my choice is between bioprocess engg in IITR and Industrial Biotech/ Environmental engg in NIT Surathkal.

My main motive behind this decision was to obtain high class teaching and interactive sessions in the above stated top class institutes, excel in my subject and opt for a proper placement.

I just wanted to know which amongst these subjects I have chosen, is the one with better future prospects and whether these institutes provide good placements to eligible students.

Regards,
Ronit Bose

MAb production with peptide

≪ Previous: CCMT Counselling 2016

Has anyone ever tried to produce MAb with a peptide (20 a.a sequence) with FCA adjuvant alone, without any carrier protein. Does it work, If so could you direct me to a paper?

the other group tried KLH conjugate. I'am trying without carrier protein with adjuvant, I don't see nice titer values. Is this even a feasible approach.

people had a problem with carrier that antibodies were raised against the carrier and very low against desired epitope. Is there any paper that worked out peptide without carrier. I see in every book they mention associating with carrier protein .

I am in my final year of B.Tech. Industrial Biotechnology at Anna University, Chennai (final CGPA will be around 8.5/10). I have cleared GATE BT with a percentile of 92.78. My GRE score is 320 (Quantitative-159, Verbal-161). I have also cleared TOEFL ibt with a score of 116/120. I have not published any research papers or attended any conferences but I have a passion for research. Are there any specific universities that I have a good chance of getting into with these scores if I apply now (preferably Ph.D.)? I am looking to get admission by January 2017, at the latest.

Democratizing ownership of Genetic Engineering technologies

≫ Next: confused between NET and GATE

≪ Previous: Graduate admissions

One of the principle complaints of the anti-GMO crowd is that genetic engineering lines the pockets of mega-corporations rather than individual consumers. Well, what about if everyone was able to own shares in the companies working with this technology? Then we could turn the general public into evangelists for the technology and enthusiastic consumers of the resulting products.

That's the idea behind my company opening up it's seed round to the general public.

I'd love to know what this community thinks of this idea. Can it work?

Hi Sunil Sir,

First of all, my heartiest thanks to you for providing such accurate guidance in this forum. It fills us with positivity in terms of our future carrier. I completed my B.Sc (hons.)in Microbiology in Scottish Church College under Calcutta University. I am planning to pursue an M.Sc in either microbiology or biotechnology .I gave JAM this year but couldn't rank well due to lack of preparation (AIR 663). I also sat for JNU CEEB and hoping for better result. I have other exams lined up for admission in Pondicherry Univ, BHU, VIT, Pune University and few others in Calcutta (Jadavpur, Calcutta university, Bose institute, St.Xaviers). For future, I want to work in a Biotech Company but my larger goal is teaching which i want to continue after working for few years. Now ,my first doubt is what should be my first preference for preparation-NET or GATE? If I opt for GATE, then how many more years will it take to complete Ph.D after M.Tech? And another doubt which I have is whether studying in Calcutta will affect my future result (as outside, I heard, there are better scope)?. I would prefer studying here because I can pay better attention to the competitive exams as well. What would you suggest?

Dear Sir
I have a question regarding my career in the field of biotechnology. My Qualifications are:
10th grade : 7.4 CGPA
12th grade : 69.8%
(with PCB)
Current Studies : Bsc (Hons) Biotechnology (completed 1st year in 2016)
DAV College, Chandigarh
I want to pursue my career in the field of Biotechnology (MS) but outside India. I belong to a Middle class family so would like to opt for scholarships (if available). Kindly let me know these few things:
1) Whether Bsc (hons) Biotechnology from India has a proper value in abroad or not, as I've been told by many of my friends that bachelors degree of India has no value in abroad (especially Canada , US, UK, Australia).
2) Which Universities are the Best ones?
3) Which field in Biotechnology should I pursue in ? ( like : environment biotech , etc)
4) And if not in abroad, what are the exams and Best reputed Colleges or Universities to opt for?
5) Career in India?
6) How much money in all ( including tuition fees, living expenses) would be required for studying abroad?

Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank You
