Hello,

Since IIT only provides the MSc in biotechnology, there is no possibility of continuing with the Msc in Microbiology using the JAM rank.

Since 2004, the Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM) has been held to provide admission to the M.Sc. (Four Semesters), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree, etc. Programmes at the IITs, and Integrated Ph.D. Degree Programmes at the IISc. The postgraduate programmes offered by the IITs and IISc provide top-notch instruction in their respective fields, on par with the best in the world. These programmes' curriculum are created to give students the chance to hone their academic skills in order to pursue challenging and fulfilling careers.

TIP : Apply for MSc Biotechnology as there are no seats available at IITs for microbiology and more seats available for Biotechnology.

Good Luck!!
