Life Sciences and Physical Sciences offer a wide range of fields based on in-depth study and research in the subject. Employment opportunities are present in both the public sector and private sectors. But at the same time there is excessive competition amongst the candidates and only the best amongst the best are chosen. In this competitive environment, to help our students overcoming their stress while facing these challenges and to make them familiar with the current perspectives in the stated fields, a webinar on the topic “Career Perspectives in Life Sciences and Physical Sciences: Opportunities Vs Challenges” was organised by Student Counselling Cell, Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Jalandhar, Punjab on June 18, 2021-Friday( 10:50 am-12:00 noon) for the students of Department of Life Sciences and Physical Sciences.
