PUMBA MBA BIOTECH
SIES COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES: OFFERING PGDBBM
AMITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS : MBA BIOTECH
so ne one wishin to do mba biotech herez da list

pls guys do check da thread n post comments, views n suggestion

hey saloni
well do u really think that a person from biotechnology background shud go for MBA biotech only???
i think the biotech n pharma industry needs more of MBA's from finance n marketing n international business rather than MBA biotech...
moreover if u r from a top 30 MBA institutes of india...gettin into any pharma or biotech company is easier than havin a MBA biotehc from a not so good coll's(which infact r not good even at the normal MBA courses)
what ya say????
nway i hav got my first MBA call from NIRMA-ahmedabad....waitin for more on the way

hey.i am a student of bsc chem and just got into siib.i had considered 2 options earlier mba(biotech) from pumba and mba(pharma) from nmims.i understand u want to stay within your field and still do an mba(like i wanted to).But then i realised that i was limiting myself in a field that is actually known for its ability to expand your boundaries.mba biotech from pumba and mba(pharm) from nmims get you good placements no doubt but you will ALways be in competition from other mba grads who have no science backgrnd whtsoever. infact domino's(believe it or not it has one of the largest research centres in da country) has managers for their research center without any science backgrnd.a better option would be to do an mba wid specialisation in marketing or hr (finance is not really valued in the field u are interested in) along with a clinical research programme from icri(these programmes are recognised and offrd parttime every where) and then aim for a pharma company.hope i helped you out.cya.tc

hi vairav, i hav got da same kind of mentality bfore as i was frm zoology background. bt lateron i also changed my decision.as u mentioned icri, do u knw how is it?whetr there is any placement aftr coming out of it? one of my frnd is doing his msc in biochem , is threre any one yr icri course dat wll ensure him a good job?

icri offers one yr part time course(sunday only for pple who work and are pursuing studies) which can also be taken full time in 6 months.they claim to have 100% placements with 20000 as starting salary which might well be true cos there r hardly nebody in dis field in india.since this is a mba thread i'd also like to add tht icri also offers 2 yr fulltime diploma in clinical research along with an mba but needless to say it isnt worth money or time.by the way maddy if ur frnd is in mumbai itll be better to go for the clinical research course from bombay school of pharmacy.

hey i am doing btech biotechnology. now in final semister.
i want to pursue mba too. i was in same dillemma as u people. some of my friends and some experianced souls suggested me to do mba biotech.
but i beleive an mba from a reputed institute would give u better oppurtuniy to work for top pharma and biotech companies.
many pharma giants such as reddys, ranbaxy, wockhardt etc have mbas with marketing,hr and finance background.
in todays competitive market it is quality of your mba degree that matters.
so if your interested in manegerial career( be it any company or any field)
pursue any mba from top institute.

dear frens,

i want to share my views here being a graduate in biotech i would luv to continue my field n i truly feel tht will restrict my job opportunities but i guess i have interest in tht so i shud continue it as far as mba biotech is concerned pumba has xcellent placements we all r aware of but i truly agree its a restricted field but as far as u have interest n passion u can go on wid tht.

neways gys ur views n comments r very imp for me as i want to take up mba biotech i gave atma 2006( the entrance needed ) n scored 88 percentile n have decent acads too

secondary : 80%
hsc : 78%
graduation : 78%

do u think i can make it to pumba or shud i drop an year n pursue mba finance or hr?
pls guys help me

hi frens,

pls help me out .................................

hi saloni!!
i am not sure abt atma!! but, i have one suggestion for you
be sure what you want to be! i mean to say that if have interst in the field of biotech pursuing masters in biotechnolgy would be good. if you are interested in managerial career an mba from good institute would be good enough to fetch u job in top biotech companies. as i wrote before a lot people in manegerial positions in top biotech and pharma companies are normal mbas without any background of pharmacy or biotech.
having said all this u with your biotech background would always be preferred to othe guys with nomal mbas.
i have herd about pumba. its no doubt very good and also herd that it give u good placements.
so think a lot and take wise decision.
all the very best!!
ciao

well i strongly believe u shudnt leave pumba if u get thru.u can always do mba biotech get into a good company and then add to your qualification by doing parttime executive programmes offered by most good colleges.tht way ull be building urself a strong base and have a better chance of getting urself a strong position in a biotech or pharma company.u can never rely on cat as it is a one day affair and u never know how ull perform.so my advice go for pumba..DONOT waste a year and then look to upgrade ur qualification.i hope i've helped.cya tc.

am not sure but i think u atleast need to fill the form to be eligible.and the score is converted using a convertor.but as an oms u need above 98%le in cat/xat/atma to get a shot at the top 5 colleges under cet(only ones worth applying)i.e. JBIMS,SYDNEHAM,KJS,WELINGKAR and PUMBA
