High Salary Courses after 12th Science

                            High Salary Courses After 12th Science PCM/PCB

This blog introduces new carrier opportunities to students who passed their 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry Math/ Biology subjects. It also describes the current and advanced topics, news in Biochemistry, and their scopes in employments, higher-earning and self employments or new startup in India and abroad.

Dear Students, after passing, 12th science PCM or PCB  there is a natural question and anxiety in the brain of young students that what is high salary courses after 12th science? 

There are generally two natural choices i.e. engineering and medical education, but to get into engineering and medical colleges are very difficult in India because of the number of applicants and available seats.  

Simultaneously, the private medical and engineering colleges demand a hefty fee in millions of rupees. Next, the coaching institutes which trained millions of students for entrance test to enter in medical and engineering institutes also charge lakhs of rupees, which is also not under reach of a middle-class family in India. 

High Salary Courses After 12th Science PCB without NEET

But, there is a certain intelligent subject choice that can be proved equally competitive to the medical and science field.

Biochemistry is the best choice of subject that offers huge opportunities for jobs, and not you let down in comparison to other professions. 

The most important point is, students from both medical and non-medical backgrounds are eligible for biochemistry educations in most colleges, universities, and research Institution in India and abroad. 

Biochemistry is a High Salary Course after 12th Science other than Engineering and Medical

Biochemistry offers such job opportunities that are at par with medical and engineering, even some better than both. 

Therefore, students should not think that if they could not make to medical and engineering college and their whole life is spoil so that is not the case. 

Better planning and efforts can provide you better dividends in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and salary, for example, salary for RA ad SRF in India is up to INR 60000/ month. 

Another scenario if a student clear JRF and join Ph.D. then he or she will get INR 70000/month and 1lakh contingency. Moreover, if you go for PDF in the USA or EU then can easily fetch the US $ 6000/ month. 

What is Biochemistry? 

We all aware of the chemistry that deals with non-living matters, its structure, physico-chemical properties and, their uses”. 

But, “Biochemistry is mainly concerned with biomolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, etc.) their compositions, chemical behavior, and the entire range of biochemical reactions, which occur inside, and within the cells”. 

 Another most important factor, which makes biochemistry an important subject because it highly coincides with our daily life courses and translational research such as biotechnology and systems and synthetic biology.  

Moreover, biochemistry acts like an alphabet as in the case of language. So if we want to learn innovations in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, biomedical engineering, medical biophysics, and clinical sciences. It becomes essential to learn biochemistry. 

Why Biochemistry is the Best Choice?

Have you ever thought that what is a gene? 

Why people get fatal diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, and pandemic like Coronavirus? 

What is the molecular basis of all these fatal conditions?  

How we can make vaccines?  How we develop high yield varieties, which are resistant to cold, heat, and drought stresses?

How we can design a Nanosensor which can tell you about the quality of water? 

How can you develop the Nano-kits and diagnostic tools and software which can tell you disease conditions even their onsets? 

 How you can design such animals, plants, and microorganisms which can biosynthesis value-added and costly products at a commercial level as carried out via chemical synthesis in the factory. 

Hence biochemistry is the inevitable part of the newly emerging concept bio-based economy which now becomes essential to prevent global warming to save mother earth.  

How you can synthesize biofuels from lignocellulosic mass or wastes to offset hydrocarbon-based fuels that are extremely harmful to the environment of the earth. 

Therefore all these questions are indicating toward starting of a new era of future research and development, and new innovations in the near future.

Moreover, IITs and Medical colleges in India are running or open all whole range of courses on their campuses which are applied and need Biochemistry as a major subject.  

Particularly, when the Indian Government is supporting new Biotechnology based innovations, self-employment, and startup for young entrepreneurs. 

The Interdisciplinary Nature of biochemistry can support other sciences in the development of translational sciences which enhance more career opportunities for the biochemistry students.

New Education Policy that Promotes Research and Innovations?

India is a developing country that completely depends on the western world or China for the import of all the medical equipment, machinery, kits, and pharmaceuticals. 

Because in India, engineers and physical sciences are not interested to learn the technicalities of biology while biologists did not learn the equations and calculations so that, India is completely failed to develop new technologies for our local requirements. 

Therefore, India needs such students who know biology and physical sciences with equal calibers, such as IIScER students, simultaneously such students will be more suitable for job markets in change scenarios. 

For instance, if an innovator wants to design a mobile that can measure BP, sugar, and heart rate via using mobile devices. So innovators must have an idea of biochemistry and physics and electronics, then he /she would be able to design such a device or acts in a collaboration with biochemists.  

In the last decade, the Indian government has given priority to interdisciplinary sciences and projects but still lag behind in the world. In view of this emerging scenario, Biochemistry is the best subject that can fit in all sciences either medical science or non-medical sciences. 

Moreover, Biochemists are eligible for all biotechnology jobs but it is not vice versa, rather they can be better innovators than biotechnologists because they read basic fundamentals of subjects that are required for innovations, rather than just to acquire a superficial knowledge.

  

 It is well known that biochemistry is coincide with all medical and biomedical streams so it offers huge opportunities for jobs in the various new emerging sciences in the future.
