B.Sc Scope

Hi,
Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms. These organisms include algae, bacteria, moulds, protozoa, viruses and yeasts. They are sometimes called microbes. These cannot be seen without a microscope. Many biologists further specialize in the study of micro-organisms, e.g. the bacteriologists work with bacteria, mycologists with fungi and virologists study viruses.
Students can pursue microbiology at the graduate level after choosing to study Biology at the +2 level. After B.Sc. Microbiology graduates can pursue higher studies like M. Sc in Applied microbiology, Medical microbiology, Food microbiology, Industrial microbiology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Bio-informatics, microbial technology, Clinical Research, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Forensic Sciences, Hospital Management.
Eligibility:
For undergraduate programme, one must be a 12th passed whereas postgraduate programme requires you to have a Bachelor's degree in relevant disciplines.
Career Prospects:
Microbiologists work in hospitals in pathology/cytology laboratories. They undertake microbiological testing of samples from patients as an aid to diagnosing and treating diseases. The pharmaceutical, food, beverage industries, swimming pools, water processing plants, bottling industries and hotels employ microbiologists. In the pharmaceutical industries opportunities exist in the R&D division. Microbiological work includes studying microbes and organisms that cause diseases (in humans, animals as well as plants).
Scope In India:
Microbiology is a vast discipline of science. It has many areas of specialisation and is a booming sector with a lot of opportunities. A microbiologist can fit into any field ranging from biopharmaceuticals and medicines, to food and beverages, to textiles and leather, to the environment and crop health. Besides this, one can pursue higher studies such as a PhD programme or post-doctoral studies.
Many microbiologists work in universities, where they teach and carry out research. While some are employed in private research institutions, foundations, health care centres and hospitals, others are in government agencies like Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Department of Science and Technology and Department of Biotechnology.

Nagour thanks for this question as I wants to put everybody knowledge in this regards
this is very good combination . after completion you can you can prefer job in many mnc as business analyst business statistician and many government jobs as statistician . if wants to go for higher studies you can go for master in mathematics or master in statistics or even master in computer science . you can plan for lot . after master degree you can get jobs as teacher , very high demand able in research and planning planning in government , universities and as analytical jobs in MNC. after you can plan for PHD in these field and become which you can . pl feel scope of these subjects are very desirable . only you have to work hard and take care of future jobs which you preferred. pl feel comfortable in these fields . all the best . best of luck
