Hello Student,

Bachelor of Science in Life Science - is a three year undergraduate degree course in India. This course mainly focuses on studying of various life processes. B.Sc. Life Sciences also helps students to learn about plants and animals. It is a great combination of both practical and theoretical knowledge. The course content includes new practical exercises, particularly in molecular biology so that the students get a concrete knowledge of the newest techniques that are in present usage both in the advanced research laboratories and in Industry.

B.Sc. Biotechnology- It is a 3- year undergraduate course, involving an advanced study of the cellular and bimolecular processes for development of a variety of technologies and products that contribute to improving people’s lives and health. It is a part of Applied Biology, which simply stated, is the combination of biology with technology so as to alter cells for manipulation. The course familiarizes candidates with the usage of living organisms and bio processes in the field of medicine, technology, engineering, and other bio products.

B.Sc. Microbiology- It is a 3- year long, full- time course. Microbiology has emerged as a key biological science, since microorganisms provide the model used in molecular biology for research purposes. Such research at the molecular level has provided, and continues to provide answers to numerous fundamental questions in Genetics, Metabolism, Cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition of the potential of microorganisms in a range of applied areas. The ability of microorganisms to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicides, pesticides, and to supplement food, produce energy, besides other uses of microorganisms is becoming increasingly relevant and useful. Microbiologists study these organisms using tools, like microscopes, genetics, and culturing.Microbiology is a broad discipline that involves the study of the biology of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. The main focus of the course is the pathogenic potential of the organisms that cause disease in man. The course also covers aspects of the biochemistry, physiology and genetics of microorganisms.

These all courses are good enough. It totally depend on you that where you are interested.

Hope it helps you

Thank you
