India is gearing up to become an international player in the life sciences, powered by its recenteconomic growth and a desire to add biotechnology to its portfolio. With its

largely untapped andunexplored biodiversity, India is a hotbed for studies in ecology and evolutionary biology.Indianscience is experiencing a radical growth in research

opportunities, and the rate of change hasaccelerated in the last decade.With the establishment of over 30 new universities, many newinstitutes, and special niche

educational institutes that engage in research and education such asthe Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), LifeSciences,

etc. during the past decade, there are now hundreds of new jobs offering researchopportunities being created each year.This indicates good job prospects for Cytologist and

relatedprofessionals in India.
