Hi Meena,

Since you have mentioned you are not research oriented, then opting for a Biotechnology course is not good for you, since it is a completely research oriented field.

But before making a decision, I would suggests you undergo an Psychometric tests also available at Meracareerguide and then opt for any other career available.

Career cannot be chosen just for the sake of choosing. Being sure is a must.

As such for pursuing an MBA program, you need to be Graduate with atleast 50% marks in Graduation.

Before opting for an abroad Dual degree course, please do check the credentials of the course in terms of industry preference.
It should not be that the degree is not valid in the Industry once you apply.

Hope this helps. Any other confusion do write back.

Wish you good luck....

Hello Meena,

I completely agree that an MBA would give you a direct go for a managerial position whereby you can guide or direct the work and the employees.

But without a hand on experience, being a manger will noit help either.

And as Dr. Anand has said, an MBA in Biotechnology will be of little or no use.
Do not get carried away with a dual degree, though agreed it saves few years, but you need to evaluate its importance from the market point of view.

As far as Dubai is concerned, I have not heard much accolades to their education system, but for the job market, they are too good.

Rest is your take.

Hope this helps you.

Wish you all the very best Meena...
