B.Sc (MICROBIOLOGY)
Q) What is the scope of Microbiology?
Microbiology is the basic science necessary for food and Pharmaceutical industry. It is also required for Medical laboratory technology working in pathology laboratory for biotechnological industry too.
In academics or research there is tremendous scope for Microbiology. It is a base of biotechnology , bioinformatics, cell biology, molecular biology, genetic engineering. The graduation and post graduation in microbiology opens up all these avencies.

Q) What topics are taught in Microbiology?
In Microbiology we teach our students Medical Microbiology genetics, enzymology, immunology, fermentation technology, food & dairy microbiology and Agricultural microbiology.

Q) Can a student start his/her career immediately after graduation?
Yes, Certainly if the specific requirement is there a student can work in pathology lab, micro-chemical analytical laboratory or in pharma industry like medical representatives etc. But usually we advice our students to go for master degree. So that they can start their career at higher level.

Q) How tough the subject is?
Microbiology is not a tough/difficult subject only thing is that the subject is introduced at F.Y. level. The students don’t learn it at junior college level like physics, Chemistry, Biology and zoology. So they have to put little more efforts to grasp this subject. The subject is very interesting as it is concerned with day to day life.

Q) Will you please explain how it is concerned with day to day life.
Microorganisms are responsible for several infections. Right from the common cold, cough to severe tuberculosis all these infection are caused due to microorganism either bacteria or viruses.
The antibiotics which are used to treat these infections are also made by organisms.
The fermented food products routinely eaten up in restaurants like idli, dosa, uttappa are made up by the activities of microorganisms. The curd which is made everyday in our house is due to the bacterial activity.
The toothpastes we use are for removing microorganisms from mouth. The soaps are used to remove normal flora of skin. So right from morning to night microorganisms are either helping or harming us.

Q) Is it necessary to have mathematics at 12th std.
It is not mandatory to have maths at 12th std. but it is preferable. Because of some mathematical equations, biostatistics problems are to be solved. So basic knowledge of mathematics is essential.

Q) In which stream student can do masters after doing microbiology?
After doing B.Sc.(Microbiology) student can do M.Sc Microbiology, Biotchnology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics etc.

Q) Who is eligible to get admission to this course?
