Microbiology

Yes, definitely you can apply for M.Sc. In Biotechnology after completing graduation in Zoology. Those who have
completed graduation in any biological subjects are eligible to apply for the exam. The degree must be passed from a recognised educational institution with a minimum of 50% marks. Most of the Universities offer admission to the course on the basis of entrance test. The candidate should perform well in the entrance test to get admission to the course. Certain colleges offer admission on the bases of the marks of the qualifying degree exam. Banaras Hindu University, Birsa Agriculture University, Calicut University, etc. Are some of the Universities that offer M.Sc. In Biotechnology. The candidate can also pursue the course from Jawaharlal Nehru University, Madurai Kamaraj University, etc.

Zoology or animal biology is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. Whereas Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and protozoa. This discipline includes fundamental research on the biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, ecology, evolution and clinical aspects of microorganisms, including the host response to these agents.
Microbiology has a very broad scope in India as well as abroad. If you have done microbiology, you have dairy industry knowledge , you have forensic knowledge , you have opportunity to be in education field , you have broad opportunities in food industry , medical industry like various biological production unit as well as Vaccine Production , you have broad scope in R & D field , You have better scope with Government.
Every industry has their Microbiologist who regularly performs tests on different products as well as effluents. If you choose Microbiology you can perform various medical tests which are performed in Laboratory. Thus, I would conclude that all the options I listed are open to the person with Microbiology degree, other than that, Bollywood also have some microbiologists such as the Queen of Hearts, Madhuri Dixit.

Hi Danish,B.Sc in Microbiology is a 3- year long, full- time course divided into 6 semesters, with each semester lasting for a period of 6 months. Microbiology has emerged as a key biological Science, since microorganisms provide the model used in molecular biology for research purposes. For admission to the course, most institutes and universities in the country follow a merit- based admission process. Marks scored by applicants at the Higher Secondary level and/ or relevant entrance test are taken into consideration. Seats are accordingly allotted to deserving candidates.
Eligibility for B.Sc in Microbiology:
Interested aspirants for B.Sc. Microbiology degree need to fulfil the below-mentioned eligibility criteria.
1. Completion of Higher Secondary (10+2) level of education
2. Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main subjects at HSC level
3. Minimum aggregate score of 60% at the level
4. Instead of Biology, one may even have had Zoology or Botany as one of the main subjects of study

Either Teaching or Research. It depends upon one's personal choice.
Teaching gives better monetary prospects! And kinda easier job if one has proper knowledge and hold on the subject.
While research in India is still in an infancy stage. For curious researchers its a go.

Microbiology Ph.D. recipients can becomeClinical Microbiologistand run a Clinical Microbiology Lab. They deal with identifying bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections which helps to prevent epidemics and has a large influence on the clinical management of patients. Plays a central role in the detection of new infectious agents. They work closely with clinicians and healthcare professionals to determine the method of sampling, confirms the cause of infections in humans and animals and what antimicrobial agents may be effective for treatment. They also work to prevent and control of infectious human diseases and other health hazards caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Legal
As a lot of biotechnology uses microbes (and getting a Ph.D. in Microbiology generally makes you biology literate), there is a demand for people with these skills to go into fields likePatent lawandTechnology transfer. Government
While there is significant overlap with what academic microbiologists study as well as government-working microbiologists, those in the government often deal with questions of bioterrorism and research surrounding microbiology as relevant to the military and public health. Outside of the research context, many scientists choose to go into administrative roles, such as grant management. Industry
From pharmaceutical, biotechnological, dairy to brewing companies, microbiologists are often employed to do research, quality control, produce development as well as manage facilities.
