hi,

msc in virology is a 2 years post graduate course, however the eligibility criteria is candidates must pass bsc or bachelors courses in zoology, bio chemistry, bio technology, microbiology or any other related discipline from a recognized university. qualifying marks criteria may differ college to college. so it would be better if you take bsc in microbiology in-spite of MLT.
