Microbiology

At present, the scientific, analytical and problem-solving skills developed by microbiology graduates are high in demand by employers. There are various options available to you after studying for a microbiology degree. You can choose to stay in education & do a master degree or Ph.D. in microbiology. You can decide to enter the job market after graduation degree. You can work in both governments as well as in private sectors. Microbiologists are mostly demanded in the UK, US, France, Australia, and Germany. Salary
In India, the average salary of a Microbiologist is between 2 to 3 lacs per year. If you are working with the government or private organizations, you will get handsome salary along with the perks & other benefits. An experienced microbiologist with Master or Ph.D degree can get a very good salary package in both sectors.

I found your question very interesting, Go for Microbiology. It will give you more options in future when you start searching for jobs. Biotechnology will narrow down your future path and it will be difficult to get good job after post graduation. While microbiology gives you wider prospects in government jobs specially. If You will go through recent BIS Recruitment advertisement, it has vacancies for microbio field but not for biotech. There are many jobs where biotechnology graduates cant apply but microbiologist can. And where Biotechnology can apply microbiologist also have options in the same. For better future prospects go for microbiology and try to go till doctoral.
Thank you.
All the best.
