Hi aspirant,

To pursue marine biology, you must have a graduate degree in a related field. Marine biology is a specialized postgraduate course that can be done after graduation. You can not pursue marine biology after 10+2.

Follow these steps to get eligible:

  • Complete your 10+2 (higher secondary) schooling with physics, chemistry, and biology (PCB) with above  60%  of marks.
  • After completion, take admission in a reputable college for a BSc in biology.
  • After completion of your 3-year undergraduate degree, you can apply for an MSc. In marine biology

Here are the reputed colleges in India that offer marine biology for undergraduate students

Top universities and colleges

  1. Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kerala
  2. The National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
  3. Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu
  4. Goa University, Goa
  5. Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat
  6. Pondicherry University, Puducherry

I hope this answer gives you clarity.
