I am Asutosh from Orissa and this year (2007) passed 12 th board examination. I had taken PCB as main subjects and Maths as optional. Actually I dont like Maths much but any way I passed in maths. My average % of marks in all subjects 76% In PCB 84%.
I have very much interest in Biology (especially Molecular biology and Genetics). You dont believe me I subscribe Research journal of HHMI( Howards Huges Medical Institute a biomedical research Inst. of USA). And I am very highly motivated by that.
My parents want me to be a doctor. I had appeared AIPMT and State medical Entrance exam in 2007 but I was only selected in the waiting list just in a difference of 4-5%. I also want to be a doctor but dont like clinical practice but CLINICAL RESEARCH. So I was considering M.Tech / MD / PG in Biotech or so after MBBS.
Any way next year(2008) I am going to appear Medical entrance exam and also consiedring IIT JEE from BIO-ENGINEERING point of view as I am keen to that subject. I think why to do 6 years MBBS If Research is my future desity any way.
I am just hearing Biotech has less scope in India and you have to go to abroad for job but I dont care as I am highly interested in BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH.
I would like to take some suggestion from you.
1. Is it a good choice to go for IIT instead of Medical for me? 2. What is the cutoff rank for IIT-Biotech/Bio-engineering in different IITs ? 3. How much effort I have to put in Maths (as I am not strong) to qualify JEE? 4. Which IIT is good from Bio-engineering/Biotech point of view ? 5. Are Infracture are good enough for research projects ? 6. What about faculty members as IITs what I know are technical instiutes but Biotech is related to Life science. 7. What are the scopes of Ex-IITans in Biotech Industry in India or abroad ?
