Bioinformatics
Hii,
Yes, many good colleges in India now offer BSc Bioinformatics with a modern curriculum. Some colleges are adding AI, data science, and new technologies to the course because bioinformatics needs computer skills and future tech. These colleges also focus on practical training and sometimes offer internships or industry projects.
good colleges in India that offer BSc in Bioinformatics with a strong focus on future tech, AI integration, and placement exposure:
Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore
Amity University, Noida
SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai
PES University, Bangalore
Bharathiar University, Coimbatore
Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi
As a pure science student, you can apply for Bioinformatics at Amity University. Available programs include:
B.Tech in Bioinformatics (4 years) – Requires PCM or PCB in 12th with 60% marks.
B.Sc. (Hons) in Bioinformatics (3 years) – Requires PCB or PCM in 12th with 60% marks.
Integrated B.Sc.+M.Sc. in Bioinformatics (5 years) – Requires PCB or PCM in 12th with 60% marks.
M.Sc. in Bioinformatics (2 years) – Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences with 60% marks.
You are eligible to apply, but check specific program requirements on the Amity University website.
For B.Tech Biotechnology or B.Tech Bioinformatics at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), students who have taken Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology (PCMB) can apply. VIT considers both PCM and PCB streams for these courses. If you are a PCM student, your eligibility will be based on your Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) scores. If you are a PCB student, your eligibility will be based on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) scores. After clearing VITEEE, the admission process considers your relevant subject combination as per course requirements.
Hello there,
If you want to pursue Biotechnology and later specialize in Bioinformatics , choose subjects that build a strong foundation in both fields. In 1st year , take:

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
Hi
Yes , with a BSc in Zoology background , you can pursue an MSc in Bioinformatics as most institutes accept candidates with a bachelor's degree in life sciences , including zoology , biology or related fields .
Here's how you can proceed:
Eligibility for MSc Bioinformatics
A bachelor's degree in Biology , Zoology , Biotechnology , Microbiology or related life sciences .
Some universities may require mathematics at the 12th level or basic knowledge of computational subjects .

Hope this helps you .
ALL THE BEST
Choosing an M.Sc in Biotechnology would likely offer better job opportunities and align well with your previous studies compared to an M.Sc in Bioinformatics as Biotechnology heavily utilizes biological concepts and techniques studied in Zoology, making the transition smoother whereas you required maths in bioinformatics you need strong computational skills in sequence analysis, gene expression analysis, and bioinformatics tools.
So i would suggest to go with msc biotechnology if you prefer a more hands-on laboratory-based approach.
While if you are interested in areas like drug discovery, genomics, proteomics, and personalized medicine, often within pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, or healthcare organizations.you should choose bioinformatics.
As per eligibility concerns You will be eligible to pursue these courses after completing your B.Sc Zoology with a PCB background as your 11th and 12th subjects.
However,both options are viable depending on your specific career interests and the skills you want to develop.

The choice of field depends on your interest. For NFAT exam, candidates must have passed class 12th from a recognised board. After cracking the exam, you can get admission to nfsu for forensic science course. You can know more about NFAT exam by clicking NFAT 2025 . There are various career options after b.sc forensic science like forensic Laboratory Analyst, crime scene investigators, forensic psychology, forensic scientist etc. To know more about forensic science course, college and career options ,you can check Forensic Science .
IAT exam is conducted by IISER for admission to various programs. To know about iat exam ,check IISER Aptitude test . To know more about b.sc bioinformatics, you can check Bioinformatics courses .
As both the exam are quite challenging and needs lot of your attention and time. So, instead of jumbling between the two, try to focus more on one that is your interest. You need to be sure about types of work you would like and work environment and kind of job roles to choose.
Admission in MSC bioinformatics program at an IIT is through the Joint Admission Test for Masters (JAM). JAM is a nationwide entrance exam that's held annually for admission to post-graduate science programs at various institutions in India.
You can also apply to IISERs and JNCASR Bangalore for Integrated PhD. Course through jam.
Other exams which are accepted for MSc bioinformatics are Gate,jee advanced and some universities like jnu accept CUET-PG or GAT-B score.
To excel in the JAM exam, you should have a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics.
