Hello,

Yes, you can do a Ph.D. after completing your MSc in zoology. You can do a Ph.D. in Biotechnology. As you must have completed your MSc in zoology, this will help in your biotechnology Ph.D. The zoological model will help in research during your Ph.D. in biotechnology.

Hope this has cleared your doubts. Thank you.
