Exam

Passing the BET (Biotechnology Eligibility Test) exam is a significant milestone for individuals aiming to build a career in biotechnology. However, pursuing a Ph.D. after clearing the exam is not mandatory. The necessity of a Ph.D. depends on your career goals. If you aspire to work in research and development, academia, or advanced scientific roles, a Ph.D. is often essential as it provides in-depth expertise and opportunities for innovative research. On the other hand, if your goal is to work in industry roles such as quality control, production, or technical sales, a master's degree or the qualifications gained through the BET exam may suffice. Thus, the decision to pursue a Ph.D. should align with your professional aspirations and the requirements of your desired field.
