Hi,
I am Sanya Ahmed from Karachi, Pakistan. I did graduation in
Biotechnology (three year B.Sc. (Hons.) + one year M.Sc.) from the
University of Karachi. I am recently doing M.Sc. thesis in drug
resistance. I would like to continue further studies in the same field
in India. I would be very very thankful if you could help me in this
regard. I would like to know if there are any additional requirements
to apply for a ph.D. after completing sixteen year graduate studies.
My interest is Medical Biotechnology (disease and cure), and want to
pursue my career in this particular discipline for which I would like
to know the universities in India which offer a ph.D. programme in
Biotechnology, with an assistant ship. Or if you could guide me
precisely how to get a job in same field as a fresher in order to pay
off the fee and other necessities.

Regards
Sanya Ahmed
