Neha samreen 3rd Nov, 2020

Hello.,

As there are various courses which can be studied with M.SC and it depends on your course where you will get job opportunities. But with MSC you have high scope for getting good career oriented opportunities.

For eg. If you have done MSC in mathematics you have scope in getting jobs from public sector organization like DRDO and also in ISRO. You can also apply for the teaching position which will have good salary package at well reputed schools.

Some of the job opportunities you might get are Market research., Manufacturing development., Research development if you take science amd chemistry as subject course.

Hope this helps you out. Good luck

I am Rakesh .In ts eamcet I got 35416 rank .can I get bsc AGRI/Forestry /Vartinary free seat / payment. i am from Sc category... if it is payment how much I can pay..

Tarreni Behera 31st Oct, 2020

Dear aspirant,

You should know that 35000 is a huge rank. At this rank of yours, getting admission in any of the mentioned career programs in any of the good colleges of the state is extremely difficult. Now each of these graduation programs have a limited number of seats which is extremely small all as compared to the number of applications. While agriculture has 800 seats, food Technology has 40 seats, veterinary science has 200 seats, forensic science has 30 seats, and horticulture has 470 seats. So you can understand very much the problem that you are right now. you are searching for a good institute but this Institute have a very limited number of seats even your rank is very high which is also not helpful in any manner.

In case you do not have any opportunity of being part of a government college you can always apply for private institutes that provide these graduation programs to the students of your rank. Incase even some good private institutes are hard to avail there is always management quota. Now before enrolling yourself in one of these institutes make sure that you compare this colleges and come to know which college is best for any of these graduation programs. In order to compare colleges you need to click on this link:-

they shall compare colleges based on their merits and demerits or  and rather advantages and disadvantages.

I hope you join a good college.

rachanapbennur 29th Oct, 2020

hello Amarnath!

The previous years cutoff for OBC category is not clearly known. However, looking at the cutoff of other categories, over the years, there might be very slight possibilitiy in getting govt medical colleges in Himachal Pradesh like pandit. Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Y S Parwar Government Medical College, Sri Lal bahadur Sashri Government Medical College.

However, you can get private institutions like Maharishi Markandeshwara Medical College.
