Microbiology

Hello,
It is good choice, 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. Such research at the molecular level has provided, and continues to provide answers to numerous fundamental questions in Genetics, Metabolism, Cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition of the potential of microorganisms in a range of applied areas. The ability of microorganisms to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicides, pesticides, and to supplement food, produce energy, besides other uses of microorganisms is becoming increasingly relevant and useful. Microbiologists study these organisms using tools, like microscopes, genetics, and culturing. Microscopes allow scientists to magnify microbial cells that are otherwise too small to SEE. Genetics and Molecular Biology help scientists understand the evolutionary relationships between microbes and their habitats. Culturing is the term used to describe growing microbes, usually combined with tests to see what the microbes like to eat or what conditions they can live in. Eligibility for B.Sc. In Microbiology:
Completion of Higher Secondary (10+2) level of education
Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main subjects at HSC level
Minimum aggregate score of 60% at the level
Instead of Biology, one may even have had Zoology or Botany as one of the main subjects of study
