B.Sc. in Medical Microbiology 

at Combined (P.G.) Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Dehradun

Humanities as a stream provides a wide range of courses that can be studied after completing their 12th grade. Pursuing any of these degrees prepares you to understand the various levels of humanities and, as a result, carve out an appropriate job path. Candidates in the humanities can apply for positions in the government sector, such as banking firms, government ministries, legal firms, and political analysts.

Content Writer, Civil Services, Human Resource Manager, Defense Services, Lawyer, Journalist, Counsellor, and Therapist positions are available. As freshers, humanities graduates can expect to earn between INR 2-6 LPA.

The scope of microbiology is huge because of the involvement of microbiology in various fields such as Pharmacy, Medicine, clinical research, agriculture, dairy industry, water industry, nanotechnology & chemical technology. 
A person who specialises in this field is called a Microbiologist. Some of the Jobs in this field are mentioned below -

1. Biomedical scientist
2. Bio technologist
3. Clinical research associate
4. Food technologist
5. Healthcare scientist, immunology
6. Medicinal chemist
7. Microbiologist
8. Nano technologist.

Different reasons for flunking nursing classes are so numerous, yet unique to each and every person. Some of main causes that normally lead to one experiencing academic difficulties in nursing classes are:

• Difficulty understanding concepts: nursing programs are demanding, and it is genuinely tough to grasp very complicated medical concepts, procedures, and pharmacology.
• Clinical performance problems: These can be concerns for students who are experiencing complications with clinical skills or interpersonal communications.
• Poor study habits: One of most important study skills in any nursing program. A student who does not have proper study habits, time management, or organizational skills might not manage to keep pace according to coursework.
• Overwhelmed by workload: workload, in particular, can be intense in nursing programs, leaving students overwhelmed as to what to learn and acquire, complete as assignments, and spend in clinical hours.

Some medical field which offe best work and life balance are shown below -

• Dentistry (BDS & MDS) – Fixed clinic hours, fewer emergencies.

• Pharmacy (BPharm & MPharm) – Less stress compared to hospital-based jobs.

• Physiotherapy (BPT & MPT) – Flexible working hours, minimal emergency calls.

• Public Health & Community Medicine – Focus on preventive healthcare rather than emergency treatments.

• Clinical Research & Medical Writing – Research-based work with no direct patient responsibilities.

There are various forms of nursing, and if you want to become a Nurse in one of the many sectors, you will need particular certifications, some of which you may earn by studying a variety of vital subjects. The following are examples:

• Biology

• Chemistry

• Physics

• Applied Science

• Health and Social Care

• Psychology

• Sociology

• Physical Education

Since board exams are equally important in one's academic journey, make sure you have a grip on your board syllabus first, and then you can also prioritize the entrance exam preparation for microbiology courses for various top institutes. Some tips are mentioned below -

Try to study the common topics of boards and entrance exams from the same sources to save time and effort.

Make sure you do not neglect one over the other; students need to be certain if they can handle both things simultaneously. 

Take breaks in between your sessions to not burnout.

Stay consistent, committed, and calm throughout your journey. Please take care of your health also.

Due to the increasing demand for microbiology in almost every sector, advanced technologies are evolving through research. These are helping lives day-to-day solving life-threatening diseases and problems in the food industry. Clinical laboratory tests are progressing precisely because of recent inventions. Some new technologies in microbiology are:

• Molecular Methods- Molecular techniques used in microbiology involve the manipulation and analysis of DNA, RNA, protein, and lipids. The benefits of molecular methods are improved sensitivity of detection, specificity of identification, and reduced turnaround time.
• Nucleic Acid Sequencing- Nucleic acid sequencing is the method to determine the sequential arrangement of nucleic acid bases. This allows researchers to identify changes in genes, links with diseases, and identify potential drug targets.
• Digital PCR- Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction methods are used to directly expand and amplify nucleic acid strands like DNA, cDNA, or RNA. Some of its applications are liquid biopsy, rare sequence detection, and gene expression.
