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?
