Hello!

If you have a keen interest in biology(i.e life sciences), then choosing BSc Life Sciences with those subjects as electives is a good decision. There are many job profiles you can opt for.

• Pathologist(A researcher who studies bodies and body tissues and examines the causes and effects of disease or injury, and advises on the appropriate patient care)- Average package would be Rs.10 LPA
• Biochemist (related to problems in the food processing and agricultural industries.)- Average package would be Rs.3.5 LPA
• Scientific/Journal Writer - Average package would Rs.4.05 LPA
• Food scientist/technologist - Average pcakage would be Rs.7.5 LPA

You can go for master's in Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, and Biology depending on some eligibility criteria of universities. You can also go for MSc in forensic science, nutrition and dietics, food technology, biochemistry, pathology, etc. depending upon your interest.

Hope you are clear!

There is no interview. Admissions to M.Sc Life Sciences program is based on your performance in the Entrance examination conducted by JNU.
