Hello,

Yes, transitioning from a BSc in Operation Theatre (OTT) to an MSc in Biotechnology is possible in many institutions, here is the eligibility criteria for M.Sc. Biotechnology :-

• Academic Background:

  • Many universities require a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as life sciences, medical sciences, or biology. Your BSc in OTT might qualify if it includes sufficient coursework in biology, chemistry, or related subjects.
  • Some universities require a minimum percentage or CGPA in your bachelor's degree.

• Bridge Requirements:

  • If your BSc curriculum doesn't fully align with biotechnology prerequisites, you may need to take additional preparatory courses or pass an entrance exam.

• Entrance Exams:

  • In countries like India, you may need to clear specific entrance exams for MSc Biotechnology programs, such as GAT-B (Graduate Aptitude Test – Biotechnology) or university-specific tests.
  • Internationally, some programs may require GRE scores and English proficiency tests like TOEFL or IELTS.

• University-Specific Policies:

  • Some universities explicitly allow students from diverse science backgrounds to join MSc Biotechnology, valuing interdisciplinary skills.

If you're passionate about biotechnology, your medical and technical background from OTT could bring a unique perspective to your studies and career in biotechnology!

Hope it helps !
