Sir/Mam,

I have passed hsc examination by 77.70% this year.. I am confused about career choices..Should I pursue B.Sc in Microbiology or B.pharm..Please help and reply at the earliest. It will be helpful if you can answer me back soon. Thanks!

I would like to suggest you to go for that course in which you are interested. If you are interested to study the science of microorganisms then it would be better for you to go for BSC microbiology and if you are interested in manufacture of drugs and you should go for Bachelor of Pharmacy.
