Zoology

If you're passionate about understanding and conserving specific animal species or working directly with animals, Zoology might be more suitable. On the other hand, if you're interested in broader environmental issues, sustainability, and how human activities impact the environment as a whole, Environmental Science might align better with your goals.Candidates can check the table below to see the comparison between the two.ParticularsMSc Environment ScienceMSc ZoologyCourse LevelPostgraduatePostgraduate Course Duration2 years2 yearsCourse FeeINR 432 - INR 4, 00,000INR 10,000 to 50,000Entrance ExamsTISSNET, CUET PG, BHU PETDUET, BHU PET, CUET PG Top CollegesBanaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Calcutta University, University of Hyderabad, Amity UniversityBanaras Hindu University, Calcutta University, Bharathiar University, Osmania UniversityJob ProfilesWildlife Conservationists, Waste Control and Management Officials, Eco-tourism Specialists, Pollution control researchers and officers, etc.Zoologist, conservationist, wildlife biologist, wildlife educator, zoology faculty, zoology researcher and lab technician, etc.Average Annual SalaryINR 7,80,000 - INR 2, 50,000 LPAINR 4 LPA to 8 LPA Top RecruitersErnst & Young, Ashok Leyland, Goldman Sachs, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Wipro, Federal Bank, etc.Agrochemical Companies, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Animal Clinics, Environmental and Ecosystem Management Sector, Aquariums, Medical Research, etc.Note: The information is sourced from external sites and may vary. 

An undergraduate education in the fundamentals of animal behaviour, physiology, evolution, and ecology can be obtained with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology. It equips students for entry-level positions in Science education, conservation, wildlife management, and research support. Usually, it takes three to four years to finish the BSc. With more advanced, specialised coursework and independent research, an MSc in Zoology expands on a BSc. It enables students to specialize in a particular field of Zoology and equips them for careers in research, management, or postgraduate study. After earning a BSc, the MSc normally takes 1-2 years to complete. In general, the MSc is thought to be more advanced and can lead to greater opportunities in academics, research, and specialised zoological fields. However, the BSc may be sufficient for many entry-level positions in the zoology workforce.
