Hello there,

Yes, you can pursue an M.Sc. in Astrobiology after completing a B.Sc. in Biotechnology . Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary field, and many universities accept students with a background in biotechnology, biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics , or related fields.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Bachelor’s degree in science (Biotechnology, Biology, Microbiology, or related fields)

  • Minimum 50–60% marks (varies by university)
  • Some universities may require an entrance exam or interview

    Top Institutes Offering Astrobiology Courses:
  • Amity University – M.Sc. in Astrobiology
  • Indian Astrobiology Research Centre (IARC), Mumbai – Certificate/Diploma in Astrobiology

  • Foreign Universities – NASA-affiliated programs, University of Edinburgh, University of Washington

Since biotechnology covers aspects of genetics and microbiology, it forms a strong foundation for astrobiology studies.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
