What is the scope of bioinformatics in India? Is it a good option to pursue M.Sc?

Hi Ruchika, Bioinformatics is defined broadly as the study of the inherent structure of biological information. Medical centers are also increasingly hiring bioinformatics graduates as genomics data become important in medical research and clinical applications. # Bioinformatics Career Scope & Job prospects have become widespread after the merging of the information technology sector has taken place with that of molecular biology. Job prospects are in all sectors of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical sciences, in research institutions, hospitals, and industry. # Bioinformatics have a bright future ! Bioinformatics is not only combination of Bio and Informatics but it also includes various fields like Drug Designing, Genomics, Proteomics, System Biology, Machine Learning, Advanced Algorithm for Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Computational Biology and many more. # LPU Offers M.Sc. (Hons. ). Bioinformatics Duration : 2 years. (4 Semesters. This dynamic programme is to Explore, analyse, and interpret biological data to improve healthcare. # Eligibility Criteria (Qualifying Exam) is that candidate must be Pass with 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 and Parasitology or Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology or Public Health and Allied Sciences or Plant Science or Physics or Chemistry) or equivalent. (5% relaxation to North East states and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents/ Wards of Kashmir Migrants).

What is the scope? Current biological and medical labs use methods that produce extremely large data sets, which cannot be analyzed by hand - for instance sequencing human genomes. Thus modern biological and medical research and development cannot be done without bioinformatics. Future applications in biology, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and agriculture. In addition, bioinformatics plays an important role in biomedical research. Research work in the area of genetic diseases and medical genomics is rapidly increasing and the future of personalized medicine depends on bioinformatics approaches. Scope of Master of Science (M.Sc) After completing Bachelor degree, you can pursue a master degree in science. It is the best choice for science graduate students. The scope of M.Sc is very much demanding & you can gain a respectable job in this area after completing the programme with good grades. There are various specializations that one can pursue in M.Sc programme. In each and every specialization, opportunities are available in Medicine, chemical, petrochemical & Polymer industries. After passing master degree in science, you can go for a research study in top organizations such as BAARC, ISRO, etc. You can also work in a government & private sectors in various technical & non technical posts.
