Which subject is having more weightage for doing masters nowadays...
My subjects are M.sc botany and M.sc zoolgy.
I have interest in both subjects but want to select d one having more value.
Please tell? Please provide me your valuable suggestion in which I can take up the next step.

As far as the better scope and job opportunities are concerned, each stream has its own importance. In general, both these courses can't be compared with each other as Botany deals with the plants while Zoology deals with the study of animals. So I can say that both of them have their own importance. So I suggest you to go with the stream in which you are really comfortable with.
