M.Sc Biotechnology

M.Sc Integrated Biotechnology Course Suitability:
They should have a scientific aptitude and a keen interest in the biological sciences. Candidates should be methodical and patient by nature, able to work neatly and accurately and have a flair for laboratory work. The ability to work independently is another important aspect, ability to use computers in work is very important and biotechnologist needs certain skill of problem solving, information technology skill, analyzing and interpreting skills. They also have customer and personal service skills such as knowledge of principles and processes for providing customer and personal services. This includes customer needs assessment, meeting quality standards for services, and evaluation of customer satisfaction.
M.Sc Integrated Biotechnology Eligibility:
The eligibility criteria for the integrated M.Sc Programs are the same. Students who have successfully completed the 10+2 level examinations or graduation, including CBSE and various other boards in India or equivalent with Science subjects will be eligible for applying for admission to these courses. The student should have secured a minimum of 60 per cent marks, for general category and 50 per cent marks for SC/ST candidates or equivalent grades.
