Types of institutions one applies

For instance if you apply for colleges and schools or academies, the salaries are very low where as if you opt university level institutes like IIT, IIIT, NIT’s etc, the salaries are very good in par with academic standards. Never apply for a job in engineering colleges if they are not autonomous. You will face troubles even to get regular salaries after PhD in Biotechnology.

PhD from top ranking institutes

Salary also depends upon the institutes where one completes PhD. If you complete PhD from private univesities in India, salaries are low because such PhD awards are treated low. If a PhD is from NIT’s or IIT’s or Government universities, the PhD holder will have high chance of getting a good salary. So conclusively, it is the institute where PhD is acquired that matters for a high salary package.

Full-time vs Part-time

Salary also depends on whether your PhD is done through full time mode or part time mode. Usually full timers are given preference while deciding salaries for PhD holders in Biotechnology. But this many not not be true with some universities. It is just my opinion based on experience.

Competition affects PhD salary

The number of PhD applicants apply for a job also affects salary if the university that is recruting wants to save some money. So those who ask for more salary may not be given a position rather those who go by norms of the institute will be given a job position. So usually salary is bit lower.

Recommendation matters

Salary after PhD in Biotechnology also depends upon the recommendation letter that one gets to get a job position. If any higher authority recommends a particular candidate even before the job interview, salary will never be a constraint for such PhD holders in Biotechnology. So remember recommendation letter matters in India even in this 21st century.
