M.Sc. Biochemistry Entrance Exams

GITAM Institute of Science conducts a national-level entrance exam conducted once a year known as GSAT. GSAT is an objective type exam conducted in an offline mode.

Entrance Exams: BHU-PET, GSAT, JET

The seats for MSc. Biochemistry is very low and in addition it is divided into classes which makes it even tougher to get right into a master’s route in BHU. I don't assume so you'll be capable of seize a seat there. But on the basis of your, it’s difficult to get admission in this college, but you don’t lose hope you can look at the paid seats under the BHU is defined as –

when the students who are willing to take the admission in a particular course in Banaras Hindu University but could not on the basis of their rank then he opted out to pay the extra fee which is called the paid seat system.

Or you can try some other colleges also, for more details to find your best college for M.Sc. Biochemistry you visit this link given below:

Best of Luck.

Dear Student ,

As per 2018 cut off database ,the cut off marks for OBC category in BHU PET exam for M.Sc Biotechnology was 58 . So, according to that .. you have good chances to get admission through BHU PET .

But , remember .. every year the cut off marks/rank can vary due to some unavoidable factors like :

• Seat Capacity
• No of students appeared for exam etc.

You can also check the previous year cut off details from this link:

As biochemistry is study of life, any chemical change taking place in living organisms anywhere in world is real-life example of biochemistry.

Check the information below to know the future scope of Biochemistry  -

1. It is important for understanding medical science concepts like drug development, immunology, pathology, pharmacy, and vaccine development.

You can find jobs as lab assistant or marketing executive in pharmaceutical companies, clinical coordinators, and medical transcriptionists.

Tests carried in clinical laboratory, pathologists work and in vaccine development.

You can also do research work in big pharmaceutical companies.

2. Biochemical tests can determine nutrients value of food material, having proper amount of carbohydrates, fats and other.

Food analyst and food security officer are also the scope of biochemistry.

3. You can also become agricultural scientist and work on developing high yielding crops, disease-resistant crops, and isolating medical compounds from plants. Studying plant tissue cultural techniques can help set your farms and nurseries.

Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great as per the question asked by you, you should work hard and should focus on achieving high and high in entrance exam it totally depends upon the examination if paper is simple then cutoff goes high gradually and if paper or examination is hard then cutoff goes down. You should certainly work hard and should try to achieve high and high in examination.

Hope you found this answer useful.Stay motivated stay positive.

All the best!

Hello,

Hope you are doing fine.

.Students who study biochemistry may gain knowledge that prepares them for work in a variety of fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and biotechnology.

best universities for studying biochemistry in USA:

• Harvard University.
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
• Stanford University.
• University of California--San Francisco.
• University of California--Berkeley.
• University of California--San Diego.
• Johns Hopkins University.
• Cornell University.

To pursue master's degree in USA it is must to score valid marks in GRE.

You don't need a specialised English proficiency test for this.

but for biochemistry it is necessary that you've taken science in +2/equivalent examination.

I hope this helps you.

BEST wishes ahead.

If your target is not research, dont go behind BSc, instead pursue BTech in Biotechnology, with wider career options in the Industry, Research as well as Academia. Nowadays, irrespective of your Engineering Branch you may develop interest in any field of Interest. Second after BTech, you may directly go for a PhD in your relevant field of Interest unlike BSc Biochemistry, where youll need a MSc. Secondly a broader branch is always good in Undergraduation and helps you explore the different domains of interest, hence BioTechnology will give you a Good exposure.

Ofcourse, incase you plan a Career in Teaching or maybe pursue Government Service Examinations lile UPSC CSE, SSC CGL, State PCS, SBI PO, RBI Grade B, Railways RRB and many others, in that case you may prefer BSc, as after Graduation youll save a year and may start preparation early.

Secondly, Of course if your getting BSc Biochemistry in some of the best Central Universities, again you may prefer that.

Hey Ayush,

If you really want to do a BSc course then go for Agriculture rather than biotechnology. BSc Agriculture is a 4 year course and it will give you better opportunities and job exposures. If you really wanna study biotech or biochem then go for the B. Tech one rather than  BSc. B. Tech has a wide range of subjects that will help you in your career.

In case of d. Pharma, I will suggest you to do it after a bachelors. It will help you get a greater practical experience as a result more job opportunities.

Hope this helps!

Hello Ayush,

Undoubtedly, B.Sc Biochemistry, B.Sc Agriculture and B.Pharmacy are very good courses with wonderful career opportunities too.

B.Sc Biochemistry is one of the Branch of Science which deals with the study and analysis of chemical processes taking place in living organisms. It's duration is of 3 years .

B.Sc Agriculture is one of the specialized field of agricultural science dealing with Agronomy, Pest control, Soil Science, plant pathology etc. It's duration is of 4 years .

B.Pharmacy is one of the important branch of pharmacy dealing with drugs safety, medical chemistry and other topics related to pharmaceutical science . It's duration is also of 4 years .

You will get several job opportunities after persuing any of the courses . Although job or career opportunities might be a bit better for the one persuing B.Pharmacy.

You can also apply for posts such as drug inspector or pharmacist under government sector too and can easily get paid for around 5-6 LPA as a fresher . Also with the growing of pharmacy sector , many opportunities in private sector are also opening. So it is more recommended on comparisons to others.

** At last, it depends on you. You should choose any one according to your Interest . As each one of them will open several career opportunities for you but if you haven't chosen according to your interest you might regret further too. So choose accordingly.

All the Best.

See both the fields have a good opportunity in both research as well as industry sector. Although to get the best feedback from the subject you need to have a Masters atleast to get chance in R&D sector and other sectors. So depending on your interest you should choose the course but you must have a clear mindset that you need to go for Higher education in order to get jobs. Now if you can do PhD in the subject then you have a career which incomparable. But if you wish to go for any of the subject you atleast have to get a master or else you would not be able to get jobs after BSc.
