Hi

Sorry for late reply. If you think you can prepare and do well in life sciences category then proceed and apply for it.. look at the syllabus first and question papers I suggest its not a good idea if you are only familiar with half of the syllabus the questions are not just based on one half and they have negative marking so don't risk because its not free they take fees..you belong to health science or allied sciences category and both csir net and ugc net don't have such categories..the closest subject I could find related to yours was the social medicine and community health subject i n UGC net. Now I am a MSc physics and I have applied for electronic science in UGC net many times as it was one of the subjects I did in PG and I was eligible and honestly it was tough because i was not familiar with many topics in the syllabus as my specialization was physics not electronic science but my oversmart friend who loved electronics cleared it after a few attempts so if you are like him give it a try but one more fact was that he was not just MSc physics but Mtech in cryogenic engineering from IIT kharagpur too so he literally did rocket science ... UGC net allows subject closest to yours if not exactly the same. CSIR NET aren't strict either they are not JAM or JEST to make rules tough. If you think you can manage...apply under life sciences category and appear for the exam if the application form has drop down list and it doesn't have your qualification then it might be a problem. Then the application won't go further this way at least you will know if you can give or not.

now last but not the least you don't require net qualification to become a lecturer or asst professor in your field. If its for other purposes you can as well appear.

let me know if you have any other query.

Nope! After BSc Biochemistry you can pursue MSc Perfusion Technology. Being a Perfusionist is a professional paramedical course. So you need to have a BSc degree in Perfusion Technology/ Cardiac Care Technology or any of the similar type.

I hope this helps.

Dear Aspirant,

yes you can pursue a course in MSc. Biochemistry after completion of your BSc. in Biochemistry. You may seek admission to colleges through entrance examinations, or based on your merit in your BSc. Chemistry. You are required to have minimum aggregate marks in your under graduation course.

Hi Tanu!

Both BSc microbiology and BSc biochemistry are of 3 years and the admission criteria/eligibility is same for both, i.e. atleast 50% in 10+2 with PCM/PCB subjects from a recognized board. Moreover, there are many entrance exams conducted by the colleges for admission in these two programs such as AMUEEE, LPUNEST, CUET, MGUCAT, Assam CEE etc. The fee of both courses is almost same (may vary depending on the college). Also, there is wide scope for both these courses in India as well as in abroad, top recruiting companies in India for these courses are : Accenture, Cipla Inc., Biocon, International Business Machines (IBM) Corp, Glenmark Pharma, Computer Sciences Corporation, SGS India Private Limited, Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS), Roche Diagnostics Corp., Cognizant, etc.

Also, these both courses makes you eligible for writing UPSC exam.

Thankyou!

See you can use the code 5 of NEET is and only if you have Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology as subjects in your 1st year UG course along with practicals in them. Now as you didn't have Biology/Biotechnology then you can use code 5. Thus the only code which you can use is the code 2 which applies for:

• Student who have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as subjects.
• Students who have passed from open schooling
• For droppers

Thus you will be accounted as an dropper and you have to use this code. Also Biochemistry isn't accounted as relevance to Biology.

Dear student,

I have answered a very similar question recently after my research and best of knowledge, so I will try to answer this question in the similar way.

Let us see what is the eligibility criteria for pursuing MSc in human genetics and molecular biology.

• The student should have completed a Bachelor's degree(B.Sc) in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or a related field from a registered or recognised university or college, with a minimum of 50%(in general) in the Science stream.

So, yes, you can pursue MSC in human genetics and Molecular biology after BSc Biochemistry. These courses are being offered at IISERs and IITs and you can get admitted by writing JAM exam.

Below I am mentioning some names of top colleges which offer MSc in human genetics.

• Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal
• University of Calcutta. Kolkata
• Delhi University, New Delhi
• Osmania University,  Hyderabad
• Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak

You can know more about this course by going through the link below.
