Placement
There are many options in the scope of employment after finishing the degree. After finishing the degree, you can get a job in the company/ biotechnology industry in my field. And otherwise, if someone is interested in academia then they can do a postdoc after PhD to get the academic job.
I didn't prepare in any coaching institute for my admission here. I was looking into all groups in my research field when I was JRF at IIT Bombay. I found an open position in my research interest group here. Then I applied the application to my professor. I got selected after having an interview. I would recommend having GRE & TOFEL scorecard if someone is interested in doing PhD in abroad.

Unlike Indian colleges, universities here do not conduct placement seasons. Students have to find jobs on their own. They can do so by keeping tabs on job fairs and vacancies published on various forms of media. If anyone wants to pursue a career in academics, they can do so by getting in contact with professors and developing their relationships. Based on the information provided by my seniors, if you are adequately good with dutch by the time your master's ends, you will have a good chance of getting a job.
For my particular course and interests, I knew I wanted to go to Europe as the best courses in sustainable energy are offered here. However, depending on the country's energy policies, the courses offered are highly tailored to teach students what their country requires. The Netherlands is the only country with a well-balanced approach toward transitioning to a more sustainable future. Thus, the course offered was in sync with my interests. Not to mention, the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at UU publishes high quality research with one of the highest number of citations. All in all, for my particular course (Energy Science) I couldn't have found a better university except maybe TU Delft.
