i want to do my career in wildlife biologist which college can i take for bsc in forestry in mumbai ? how can i get in to big universites for msc like wii in dehradun university?
Hey Young Aspirant!!
B.Sc in Forestry is not a widely chosen course, its great that you have chosen such a nice course, next comes the available colleges in Maharashtra it is that, you have the following options
- Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth
- Anand Niketan Agriculture College
- Vasanthrao NaiK Krishi Vidyapeeth
Now if you have a good aggregate in your Bachelor's degree then it would be easier for you to make it in Dehradun University, into M.Sc course.
Good luck!!!
i will be passing my 12th(SSC) with PCM stream and now i want to become a wildlife biologist !! so is that possible ???
Hello Student , Being a PCM group class 12 student if you want to do work as a wildlife biologist in future then you have to take biology as an additional subject in your 12th class examination.
If you have biology in your class 12 course then it is possible to take BSc biology honours and then do MSc in life science or biology. After this you have to do a special certificate or diploma course in wildlife biology from any of the Indian University. This course will help you to get a career in wildlife biologist in big NGOs in India or abroad or state governments or central governments job and placement.
Hope this will help.

how many hours does a marine biologist have to work in the lab and how many hours in the ocean
Hello,
Hope you are doing well,
Most marine biologists work regular hours in a laboratory, nine to 10 hours a day, 40 to 50 hours a week. They use electron microscopes, computers and other specialized equipment to study specimens. Many marine biologists also do fieldwork.
When in the field, days are usually longer. Typically 10–12 hours per day, 6–7 days per week, depending on the work.
Time on research ships is very precious, and very expensive, so those are typically the longest shifts. Working at sea, 12 hours is typically the absolute minimum, and in many cases it’s 14–16 hours per day. On one research trip, due to staffing shortages and technical difficulties, averaged 16–18 hours per day, 7 days per week, for 2.5 weeks
Hope this information helped you
Thank you
