Either B.Sc biotechnology or B.Sc microbiology has the better prospect? Some say biotechnology in better, some say-"it is jack of all trades ,master of none!". Actually what?

Kindly solve my query. I am a student in second year doing bsc biotechnology in pune. i 'need' a job after my graduation. So please guide me the range of salary i may get after graduation.

hi,

according to me both the course have good scope in future .but If you are interested in research work then Microbiology will be the best for you .

i have providing you detail about the both stream/course that will help you a lot .

Microbiology:

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms. This includes eukaryote such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes, which are bacteria and archaea. Viruses, though not strictly classed as living organisms, are also studied. In short; microbiology refers to the study of life and organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Microbiology is a broad term which includes virology, mycology, parasitology, bacteriology and other branches. A microbiologist is a specialist in microbiology.
Microbiology is researched actively, and the field is advancing continually. We have probably only studied about one percent of all of the microbe species on Earth. Although microbes were first observed over three hundred years ago, the field of microbiology can be said to be in its infancy relative to older biological disciplines such as zoology and botany.

Biotechnology :

Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.
Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines like chemical engineering, information technology, and biorobotics. Patho-biotechnology describes the exploitation of pathogens or pathogen derived compounds for beneficial effect.

microbiology:


Duration of Course: 3 years :

as a basic biological science, microbiology provides some of the most accessible research tools for probing the nature of life processes. Our most sophisticated understanding of the chemical and physical principles behind living processes has arisen from studies using microorganisms. This is in large part because microbial cells share many biochemical properties with cells of multi cellular organisms. And this, coupled with the fact that microbial cells can reach extremely high cell densities in culture and are readily amenable to genetic study, makes them excellent models for understanding cell function in plants and animals.As an applied biological science, microbiology deals with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture and industry. Some of the most important diseases of humans, animals and plants are caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms play major roles in soil fertility and animal production. Many large-scale industrial processes are microbial based, which has led to the development of a whole new discipline, biotechnology.

good luck .http://entrance-exam.net/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

is there any scholarship for students who want to study any biotech related field at master level?

I have my inter 2nd yr Bipc and am really confused whether to continue in the field of science or take up arts my parents suggest me to take CA but am really interested to continue only in the science field.. please help me to solve this issue whether i should discontinue and take up CA ?

what is the scope of microbiology in future?

i must say thanks to mr.shri ram sharma who had cleared my doubt thanks a lot sir thank you very much iam having another doubt sir is microbiology will be better than biotech in future????????.........

i hv completed my 12 exams with 68% marks last year...now i want to opt for biotechnology...n from government college.kindly give me the list of govt. colleges offering b.sc in biotechnology....kindly solve my query..

HI!
Friend now days B.Sc Biotech is much batter that B.Sc Microbiology.
After passing B.Sc you have many option you can do job or you can join Higher study.

After passing B.Sc you have job option like:-
> Civil Services
> Combined Defence Services
> Indian Forestry Services
> Bank P.O
> C.B.I
> Indian police Force

If you want you can do higher study like:-
> M.B.A
> M.Sc
> PH.d
> M.Sc+Ph.D

GOOD LUCK!
