I am a grade 11 student and interested in pursuing pure sciences degree BS\BS+MS Integrated\ BSC in Biological sciences. I have chosen Physics, Chemistry & Biology as my core subjects in Grade 11 ( I have not taken Mathematics) . Which Universities\Colleges in India should i target ?
Nice to see that you are interested in Basic sciences. Now you should know in India there are four kind of Institutions:
- Research Institutes
- Central Government Institutes
- State government institutes
- Private institutes
Each of this institute courses in Biology but in each case there are some differences which you have to parametrize based on your targets.
At the top are the research institutes which are more interested in research and the best minds are there to guide you. In this institutes they make you more research oriented rather than just scoring marks. So if you are interested in research and want to pursue it in future then you should try for institutes like-
- IISC
- IISER
- NISER
Now you may think that if you can't be a part of this colleges then you won't do good research, this is a misconception. In fact if you see the most PhD scholars then they are doing great works and are not part of any one of them in there BSc courses. So don't think that. Here what I meant is that the exposure to research is given by this institutes during your bachelors which normally the central universities and state universities can't impart before PG course.
Now for Central Universities and State government universities both are the great to study your UG or PG at. Depending on your location you have to choose the best as per your aspirations.
Some of the most preferred colleges in India for BSc Biology are:
DU Delhi - University of Delhi
Aliah University, Kolkata
Loyola College, Chennai
Presidency College, Chennai
Government J Yaganandam Chhattisgarh College, Raipur
