can i do bsc microbiology then msc biotech with specialization and learning skills

Hi Dear Student,

Yes, you can definitely do an M.Sc. in Biotechnology after completing a B.Sc. in Microbiology. In fact, this is a very good combination because Microbiology already gives you a strong base in subjects related to biotechnology.

Your background can especially help in areas like:

• Microbial Technology

• Bioprocessing

• Diagnostics

• Microbial Engineering

Eligibility

Most colleges usually require:

• A B.Sc. degree in Microbiology or Life Sciences

• Around 50–55% aggregate marks

Entrance Exams

Some universities may ask for entrance exams such as:

• Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET)

• Jawaharlal Nehru University Entrance Examination (JNUEE)

• Banaras Hindu University Postgraduate Entrance Test (BHU PET)

• Indian Institute of Technology Joint Admission Test for Masters (IIT-JAM)

One Thing to Keep in Mind

Since your bachelor’s degree is in Microbiology and not Biotechnology, you may need to put a little extra effort during the first semester to understand some core biotechnology concepts.

Good M.Sc Biotechnology Specializations

• Medical Biotechnology

• Microbial Technology

• Genetic Engineering

• Molecular Biology & Diagnostics

• Bioprocess Technology

Hope it helps!
