I am also 12th passed and I want to become marine biologist and someone told me that goa University is best but what subject I can choose for bsc ????? Because I think Marine biology in only in MSc is this true???? Please answer me.....
I would like to ask whether qualifying NEET is necessary for going into marine biology or not.. many people told me that it is needed as a sort of admission test? But I would like to confirm from someone who studied that field and can give me a solid answer... As i would not like to waste some of my years trying for NEET when I can go into marine biology institutions without it.
Dear Arjun, if you want to study undergraduation in Marine Science there are 2 colleges across India. Government Science College Gujarat, Ismail Yusuf College of Arts, Science and Commerce. Indian Maritime Unuversity Mumbai offers B.Tech in Engineering along with many other Institutes. For being eligible in B.Sc Marine Science, you should have completed your 10+2 in Physics, Chemistry and Biology with a minimum aggrrhate of 50%. There are more Master's programs in Marine Sciences than in Bachelors. Alternatively you can pursue B.Sc in Biology/Botany/Zoology and then pursue Masters in Marine Biology.
