The Bachelors’ in Applied Life Science is offered by few colleges in India. The number of seats offered are also very few. Since the demand for the subject is increasing, te competition is rising as more and more students are trying to pursue it each year.

Eligibility Criteria

The eligibility to the course depends on the aggregate score in Physics, Chemistry, Biology & Maths. A minimum score of 45% in all the 3 subjects (including Practical & Theory) and passing in one mandatory language (i.e. English) is necessary. The candidate should have passed in both theory and practical separately.

Course Outlook

The three year full time course is divided into six semesters. At the end of each semester, there is a theory and practical exam. Regular theory and practical classes are held during the course of each semester where the student is expected to submit class work in terms of an assignment or project. It is important for the student to have a good score in internal assessment as well as in theory and practical work. The score also needs to be consistent across the six semesters.

Job Prospects

Bsc in applied life sciences will guarantee a job in biotechnology research labs, in the field of agriculture, fisheries, sericulture, etc. A number of students also opt for higher studies abroad. There are exchange programmes also held in some colleges for a semester or two.
