After completing your Integrated MSc in Basic Sciences, you’ve got a few good directions to consider. If you’re research-inclined, go for a PhD in India like in IISc, IITs, or JNCASR or even apply abroad. If you prefer jobs, look into scientific research roles in CSIR/DRDO/ISRO, or even teaching jobs in colleges after clearing NET or SET exams. Alternatively, explore roles in data science, science communication, clinical research, or patent analysis—all fields that value analytical skills from science grads.

Thanks for your thoughtful question and good wishes ahead!
