Hello,

BSC in genetics is a bachalor degree course which duration is 3 years. In this course you have to study about the gene, genetic factors, biology some genetic statistics mathematics, chemistry etc. In future genetics have lots of scope. You can do research in very well known research institute or any Pharmaceutical company or any nutrition company.

Bhopal has so many colleges those are offered for this course. Like

• Career college, Bhopal

Thankyou.

Hello,

BSC is bachalor of science graduation degree. This is three years course duration in any subject.

Like BSC in biotechnology and genetics is not possible with along or only one subject. You can study BSC in biotechnology or BSC in genetics individually. Also you can study in BSC in microbiology, BSC in molecular biology etc. If you interested in biotechnology then you take this subject and in this course you can study some portion of genetics also. Because alk are some kind of relatable. But BSC in biotechnology and genetics is not possible. I hope you can understand the point.

And one thing BSC in biotechnology is the most interesting and scopefull course in this days. Upcoming Yes it will be a huge reputable course. There are lots of universities give the opportunity of this subject. I'll provide you a link below you can check it for more details about the college

• The candidate who is applying for genetic should have qualified graduation with at least 60% marks in graduation. On the other hand, students who have done graduation in physical/ horticulture/ biology/ agriculture/ veterinary/ fishery science can apply for MSc in bioinformatics.

All the questions of the entrance examination would be of MCQ type.

Questions will be based on various sub-disciplines of biological science (BSc level), i.e., Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology etc. with emphasis on genetic studies.

Some basic chemistry, physics and mathematics and general awareness questions would also be included in the entrance syllabus.

On the other hand, questions of entrance exam of MSc bioinformatics would come from Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Logic, Reasoning and English.

The entrance examination have been divided into two groups.

• One group contains questions from Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Molecular biology etc. and,
• Other group contain questions from Mathematics, Statistics, Physics and Computer Science.

You need to fill the respective college admission forms for getting admission in BHU or DU or any other colleges/universities . Admission procedure is being hold in  online mood this year .So, please check respective colleges websites and fill the forms.
