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.

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.
