Re: M.Sc in Microbiology or M.Sc in Biotechnology: Better course?

The Indian market is expanding rapidly for Medical Sciences. This sector is becoming one of
the largest recruiters. It contributes 5% of India's GDP which is increasing by 15% every year.

Microbiology focus into prevetion and treatment of diseases. I would suggest you to do
MSc. After completion of M.Sc in Microbiology you may enter in Pharmaceuticals
Industries. Or if you study further PhD. it will lead you to scientific jobs. As a fresher
you will be working as a loboratory assistants and research microbilogists.

In India itself you may earn a starting salary of Rs.18,000 per month as a fresher in research
and development organisation and in health sectors. This tends to rise quickly as you a year
experience. In countries like USA you may earn $6000 per month depending on your skills and capabilities.

Re: M.Sc in Microbiology or M.Sc in Biotechnology: Better course?

Both are the good options. And almost the career prospects are also similar. But most of the students are interested to take M.Sc in biotechnology but not in Microbiology.

My suggestion is also to take M.Sc in biotechnology. If you take Microbiology the entire subject seems to be so dry. But biotechnology is not like that. It involves so many techniques which are the techniques of present generation like electrophoresis which will be so interesting to the students. So command over biotechnology will fetch you a bright job.

From job prospects point too, bio technologists are being given more preference and high salaries than microbiologists.

Hi,

I dont think there is no curse better then other
both the courses are very good it basically depends on your choice and the subject you have done your B.Sc. or Bachelor degree

after microbiology you can join as microbiologist in any major food company, you can join chemical plants, iron furnes and many more apart from that you can also start your own food processing unit also you can go for clinical research.

With a MSc in Biotechnology you are more likely to head into a position as a Technician, Scientific Associate, or to continue on in graduate studies to get your PhD. MSc's often find themselves in a good position to take on a teaching position either at the high school or trade school level as well.

So its up to you

Best of luck

Dear Friend;
Warm Greeting for the day;

Both course are Better in their respective areas its totally depends on you that which side your interest is actually.
If you overview present era than M.sc (Biotechnology) is a good choice but now a days this course has in great demands.Because:

t is a promising discipline, a multidisciplinary area that encompasses not only biology and engineering, but also subject such as chemistry, physics and mathematics. Some of the fast growing areas in biotechnology are recombinant DNA technology, microbial biotechnology, tissue culture technology and cell biology, immunotechnology and protein engineering.

Whether it is in fighting diseases, developing new seeds or tackling pollution, the use and application of biotechnology is basically research-oriented. Major application areas of biotechnology are in the fields of health care, pharmaceuticals or medicine, agriculture and environment and animal husbandry.
It is better to go for M.Sc. biotechnology, and after scoring high marks, try to go for research leading to Ph.D. Several universities/ departments/ colleges offer M.Sc. biotechnology programmes. You can choose or specialise in plant sciences or tissue culture at the postgraduate or Ph.D. level.

Thanks

Bintechnology is not perfectly developed in India .It offers job in forein .So in my opinion you should do Msc in microbiology.It offers great jobs in india as well as in forein.So you should go for this.
