Hello Nandini..

About B.Sc - Life Sciences

The B.Sc. in Life Sciences is a three-year undergraduate degree that focuses on the scientific study of living entities such as humans, plants, animals, and aquatic species, among others. The programme entails a thorough examination of the different processes involved in the transition from molecular to cellular life.

It is an excellent career choice for those who wish to work in science and research and have excellent writing and communication abilities.

During their coursework, candidates are exposed to a wide range of animal and plant species. The programme lasts three years and is broken down into six equal semesters. The Life Sciences programme is designed for those with a passion for science and research, as well as those who are comfortable working with a microscope and have strong computer abilities. To work in this sector, a candidate must be willing to work long hours and have a basic understanding of the subject.

B.Sc - Life Sciences Eligibility Criteria

The following are the minimum requirements for admission to the B.Sc. Life Science programme:

-Candidates must have completed their 12th grade from a recognised board.

Good Luck!

Hello Aspirant,

The eligibility criteria for Masters degree in forensic science (MSc forensic science) is a Bachelors degree in science stream with relevant subjects and a minimum of 55% marks in aggregate for your Bachelors degree from a recognized University. You are eligible to apply for MSc forensic science. The top colleges offering MSc forensic science are listed below

• Chandigarh University
• Parul University
• Banaras Hindu University
• Kasturba medical college
• Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha university (GGSIPU)
• Gujarat university
• SAGE University

Hope this helps and Good luck

Hello Aspirant,

Below listed are the masters degree courses you can pursue after B.Sc Biotechnology /BSc life science

• MSc toxicology
• MSc Botany
• MSc Biotechnology
• MSc microbiology
• MSc molecular medicines
• MSc animal Biotechnology
• MSc Bioinformatics
• Masters in public health
• PG diploma in life sciences
• PG diploma in Bioinformatics etc.

Hope this helps and Good luck

Hello aspirant,

The difference between the two is as follows:
BSc Biomedical Science: Biomedical Science deals with developing knowledge or technologies in healthcare or public health. It revolves around the biology of human health and diseases and also covers more specialized topics such as human nutrition, human physiology, and pharmacology.

Job opportunities:
After a BSc in biomedical science, you could either go for Masters's and get into the research and development sector. If you have a knack for experimenting research might. Be the right way to go, as you can contribute to changes in this field of study.
Also, opt for a Masters's abroad for better exposure.

Another option is to become a biological scientist, pharmacist, biomedical engineer

Future Scope:
It is one of the branches that are unexplored and is also very competitive. But it is rewarding and owing to the making India a research powerhouse there are bound to have more job opportunities in the future.

BSc in LIFE sciences: is a natural science and deals with the study of plants, animals, humans, and microorganisms.

Job opportunities:
Researcher, pathologist, immunologist, horticulturist, nutritionist
You could either go for higher studies and get into research work eventually or get a job after BSc. You would have better opportunities after higher studies though.

Future scope:
Life science has a good amount of opportunities in India as well as abroad.

The starting salary package of both these fields is less initially. Also, at the end of the day, it depends upon what are you more interested in. These branches are slowly picking up opportunities in India, and the opportunities that are there are very competitive. So you need to stand out from other candidates.

I hope this helps!

Thank you!

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.

https://rcb.res.in

And Yes. BSc. Life science students can give this exam.

I hope this helps
All the best

Hello Aspirant,
Gat-b and jnuceeb are the same examinations. Earlier the examination were conducted by jnu but now it's conducted department of biotechnology hence it's renamed to gat-b.
Coming to the eligibility criteria, students who are Undergraduate can apply, thus its a competitive exam for applying for the Postgraduate. If you're an Msc student and want to do Mtech, then also you can give the Gat-b examination. Gat-b examination paper pattern consists of two parts: Part A, containing 60 mcq question containing 1marks compulsorily to attend and Part B contains 100 mcq questions but you can attend any 60questions.
Yesss students from bsc livescience can give these examination for further studies.
You can go to the official site to apply for the examination:
