Hello Aspirant,

One should qualify Delhi University Entrance Test(DUET) to get admission into MSc in Genetic or in any of the post graduation courses.

Eligibility -

• Students who have done their graduation in physical science/ chemical science/ mathematical science/ medical science/ pharmacology/ any branch of biology/ paramedical science can apply for MSc in genetic.
• The candidate who is applying for genetic should have qualified graduation with at least 60% marks in graduation. On the other hand, students who have done graduation in physical/ horticulture/ biology/ agriculture/ veterinary/ fishery science can apply for MSc in bioinformatics.

All the questions of the entrance examination would be of MCQ type.

Questions will be based on various sub-disciplines of biological science (BSc level), i.e., Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology etc. with emphasis on genetic studies.

Some basic chemistry, physics and mathematics and general awareness questions would also be included in the entrance syllabus.

On the other hand, questions of entrance exam of MSc bioinformatics would come from Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Logic, Reasoning and English.

The entrance examination have been divided into two groups.

• One group contains questions from Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Molecular biology etc. and,
• Other group contain questions from Mathematics, Statistics, Physics and Computer Science.

You need to fill the respective college admission forms for getting admission in BHU or DU or any other colleges/universities . Admission procedure is being hold in  online mood this year .So, please check respective colleges websites and fill the forms.

Hello,

First of All you must understand the basic difference between M.Sc Biomedical Genetics and M.Sc Biotechnology.

M.Sc Biomedical Biotechnology- In this course, you will study about both Biology and Chemistry at an advanced level. This course is to study living organism to produce Bio- Products to make medicines. Genetics is just a part of this course.

M.Sc Genetics- In this course, you will study only about genetics. You will study about the genetic level of various living organisms. You will get to know the various techniques of experiment related to genetics. This course is totally based on Genetics.

M.Sc Genetics Syllabus

Semester 1-

Concept of Genetics

Chromosome, Genes and Genomes

Biostatistics and Population Genetics

Concepts in Cells in Modular Biology

Practical including Continuous Assesment

M.Sc Biotechnology syllabus

Semester 1

Advanced Biochemistry

Advanced Molecular Biology

Animal cell Technology

Biostatistics

Lab

I hope you have understood the difference between the two.

Good Luck.

Hello,

Genetics has played a vital role in identifying such diseases for human survival. Various fatal disorders are existed in human due to imbalance of chromosome number. These lead to malfunctioning or death of an individual. Genetics can help us to understand why people look the way they do and why some people are more prone to certain diseases than others. Genetics can help health-care professionals to identify certain conditions in babies before they are born using techniques such as prenatal testing.

Hey,

Integrated Bsc and Msc course is a five year program offered by different  colleges and universities.

Below I have mentioned the name of colleges offering integrated BSc and MSc course,

-Amity University, Noida

-Mehsana Institute of Science, Mehsana

-Gitam University, Vishakhapatnam

- College of Agriculture, Tiruvanantpuram

-Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences, Ahmednagar

-AMITY University, Gurgaon.

There are many more colleges but above are few good ones.

You can visit the site of colleges for admission details.

Hope that helps.

Thank you

See any course in Genetics will be valuable in the future since there is a lot to know about this courses which is at the end is a very important instrumental for Genetical Analysis of diseases and for genetical predictions and other developments going on in this fields. So doing a course in Genetical sciences can be a good choice for you. But not only a BSc will be sufficient for a considerably good career but you have to at least go for MSc to contribute in the field.

As per the internet research and data available, a BSc Medical Genetics student can earn around Rs.1.5LPA to 3 LPA.

Students having PCB or PCM both are eligible for this course.

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hi,

Well among the two, JSS medical college will be a better option for medical genetics as compared to SRM. Although SRM is a university but JSS has a lot better faculty members and also good lab facilities and focused coursework for the subject. The teaching methods are also very apt for the subject. Going with JSS would result in better performance in your bachelor program cause it has lot to offer. Also SRM is not a bad choice either but the faculty of JSS is better.

I hope this helps.

All the best
