Dear aspirant!

Hope you are doing well ! I would suggest bsc and then go for msc , it will definitely help you and will enhance your knowledge . But It is advisable to go to college for formal education because our society values college degree and without degree none will give you job. You will also have opportunities to make more contacts in college.

Hope it helps you!

Thanks

Dear Aspirant,

It would be better to decide based on your interest.

M.Sc. and Integrated M.Sc. courses are related in some way but they are different in their level of studies. Integrated M.Sc. is a long-term course compared to M.Sc. courses. M.Sc. is a higher option study after a B.Sc. degree in related subjects. Integrated M.Sc. is different from this and is a course that can be done after higher secondary education. There are several universities and colleges which offer M.Sc. as well as Integrated M.Sc. in India.


Integrated MSc(5 years) course has been devised specially for research mindset students who want to focus immediately after 10+2. These students don’t have to plan for bachelor's and masters separately. Finally, they are getting their master's degree after completion of the integrated courses.


ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED Msc ;

Usually, Bsc and Msc will take four + two years if you do it separately. However dual degree programs like Bsc- Msc or Int. MSC gives you an advantage of a year.

Integrated MSc assures you that once you pass out, you will get both BSc as well an MSc degree. You start your research work earlier in integrated, thus saving 1 year.

If you go for a bachelor’s degree in science, you need to give an entrance exam after the 12th standard to get admission to a good college/university. Afterward, while going for a master’s degree, again you have to go through the pain and take an entrance exam.

However, an integrated M.Sc course can save you from this trouble. You just need to give one entrance after the 12th and that’s it, you are safe for the next 4 years.

Along with this, you do not have to stay confused about the college or university options available for you. In an integrated M.Sc. course, you can stay in the same college for the whole course.


Overall, students find it better to pursue an Integrated degree, so that they can bypass exams, etc.


DISADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED Msg:

In integrated M.Sc, you don't get a degree certificate before you complete the entire course of 5 years. On the other hand in B.Sc you get a B.Sc degree certificate after 3 years and you have to take an admission test(JAM) for an M.Sc  course after that.

In the same institute, professors favor students who enter into M.Sc course by JAM more than integrated M.Sc students


But,

If you are on focused on your career growth and want to do more than just a 9 to 5 job, then an integrated M.Sc. is the one you should be looking for. Integrated M.Sc has a lot to offer than simply doing an M.Sc degree.

It helps in providing a wider overview of education and helps in linking and syncing all the academic material with each other over four years. You study in continuation and study without distractions like job search or admission to master’s course, which usually happens in courses without the provision of integrated studies.

This also helps in boosting research prospects. You get to study in the continuation and that helps in creating a foreseeable focus on your research prospects. You can continue as per the subject of interest.



M.Sc. course and career opportunities :

Master of Science is a postgraduate degree that can be pursued after graduation in related subjects. The B.Sc. degree usually covers science subjects including social sciences. The candidates who wish to study these subjects on a wider level can opt for M.Sc. in related subjects. This post-graduation cannot be pursued if one does not have a basic knowledge of related fields or a bachelor's degree. M.Sc. is a 2-year program that is offered by many universities. The various branches in this study are Chemistry, Biology, Botany, Electronics, Computer Science, etc. The career opportunities after M.Sc. are also huge. One can perform various roles such as scientist, researcher, lecturer, or consultant. These job profiles offer high remunerations compared to other jobs of the same kind.


Integrated M.Sc. course and career opportunities :

The minimum percentage required in the qualifying examination will vary according to the universities and subject of study. Integrated M.Sc. is a five-year program that includes theoretical and practical sessions. The career after Integrated M.Sc. seems to be very high. Several industries recruit candidates who have pursued their degree in Integrated M.Sc.

So,

The Key differentiators between M.Sc. and Integrated M.Sc. courses are :

Only graduates can pursue M.Sc. whereas an intermediate student can study the integrated course.

M.Sc. is a 2 or 3-year program while Integrated M.Sc. is a five-year program.

The aspirants who have pursued B.Sc. have to study M.Sc. as a separate course for acquiring post-graduation whereas the students opting for integrated M.Sc. can directly run out to that level.


You Can choose the branch of study according to your area of interest.



Hope it helps

Good luck!
