Is B.Sc in microbiology a good career choice to pursue?

Yes, it is. B.Sc. In Microbiology is a 3- year long, full- time course divided into 6 semesters, with each semester lasting for a period of 6 months. Microbiology has emerged as a key biological Science, since microorganisms provide the model used in molecular biology for research purposes. Such research at the molecular level has provided, and continues to provide answers to numerous fundamental questions in Genetics, Metabolism, Cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition of the potential of microorganisms in a range of applied areas. The ability of microorganisms to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicides, pesticides, and to supplement food, produce energy, besides other uses of microorganisms is becoming increasingly relevant and useful. Microbiologists study these organisms using tools, like microscopes, genetics, and culturing. Microscopes allow scientists to magnify microbial cells that are otherwise too small to see. Genetics and Molecular Biology help scientists understand the evolutionary relationships between microbes and their habitats. Culturing is the term used to describe growing microbes, usually combined with tests to see what the microbes like to eat or what conditions they can live in. A petri dish is a common place where microbes are cultivated. Eligibility for B.Sc. In Microbiology: Completion of Higher Secondary (10+2) level of education Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main subjects at HSC level Minimum aggregate score of 60% at the level Instead of Biology, one may even have had Zoology or Botany as one of the main subjects of study Best colleges to pursue Microbiology are: Lovely Professional University Bharath University, Chennai Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya Jiwaji University, Faculty of Sciences & Faculty of Life Sciences Delhi University Christian Medical College, Vellore Manipur University.

Hi, These are the career opportunities for you: The field of microbiology covers many others such as Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology and medical microbiologists identify the agents of infectious diseases and devise ways to combat them. They also track down and identify new pathogens. Learn more about making a career in Microbiology: Public health microbiologists try and control the spread of diseases by monitoring water and food supplies. Agricultural microbiology is focused on the health of crops, increasing yield and soil fertility. Microbial ecologists study the habitats of microorganisms to determine their contribution to the chemical cycles in soil and water. They also study the effects of pollution on the same and develop methods to use microorganisms to combat pollution. Food and dairy microbiology prevents microbial spoilage of consumables, fights food borne transmission of diseases and also makes food like cheese, yoghurt and wine.
