Can I apply for M.Sc biotechnology? I am pursuing zoology honors. Please tell.

Obviously Bikas, the eligibility criteria (qualifying exam) is just 60% aggregate marks in Bachelors degree (Applied Medical Science or Medical Science and Allied Medical or Agriculture or Nanotechnology or Biosciences or Life Sciences or Food Sciences or Veterinary Microbiology & Parasitology or Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology or Public Health & Allied Sciences or Plant Science) or equivalent, subject to qualifying test (if any). Biotechnology is a good career option. Biotechnology career is not only a white coat laboratory drug developing job. There are so many other opportunities out there. Opportunities range from sales, marketing, research and development, production and distribution, manufacturing, quality control, etc. You can do biotechnology-related courses from: University of Hyderabad-School of Life Sciences, University of Mumbai-Institute of Chemical Technology, National Dairy Research Institute Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology School of Allied Medical Sciences, Lovely Professional University Delhi Technological University-Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology-Department of Biochemical Engineering & Biotechnology, Delhi University Banaras Hindu University Jawaharlal Nehru University University of Mumbai
