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.

The NMIMS (Deemed to be University) has introduced the M.Sc programme in biological sciences from August 2012. The salient feature of this programme is the emphasis being laid on the overall development of laboratory skills of a student coupled with an expansion of his/her knowledge base through an interdisciplinary course work comprising lectures and practicals in the first year of the course and subsequently fine tuning these skills in a particular area of specialization. While the student will have ample opportunity to acquire hands-on training on modern, sophisticated instruments/equipment, he/she will also be able to benefit from the expertise of one or more faculty, wherever needed. Duration
The M.Sc. Is a two years course which includes four semesters and a six month project work. Intake
A total of 20 seats are available for the M.Sc programme in Bbological sciences.

The route to M.Sc. Microbiology course is through entrance exam. The entrance tests for this course are IISc Entrance Exam, Goa University Microbiology Entrance Exam, Guru Nanak Dev University M.Sc. Microbiology Entrance Exam, Osmania University Microbiology Entrance Exam and Lovely Professional University Microbiology Entrance Exam. Universities accept the scores of these tests for selection of candidates. A merit list is prepared on the basis of scores in aforementioned tests. Some institutes such as St. Xaviers College, Mumbai take admissions purely on the basis of merit list prepared in accordance to the score in microbiology at Bachelor level.
