Scope |
Botany
is one of the preferred
choices to study among
the science students in
India. Botany focuses
on the extensive scientific
study of plants along
with their structures,
growth, use, and process
of all forms of plant
life-their evolution,
ageing, decaying and death.
A person, who deals with
the study of Botany, is
generally referred to
as a Botanist. His job
involves comprehensive
study of flora, which
range from the minutest
bacteria to the largest
tree. Considering the
current scenario, various
factors like population
explosion, pollution and
so on are affecting the
flora. Therefore, apart
from in-depth study of
flora, a Botanist is also
required to explore the
possible way out of agricultural,
horticulture and environment
related issues. Thus,
career in Botany can be
highly rewarding for those,
who are allured with the
aesthetic beauty of nature
and flora. With the challenges
posed by environmental
issues on existing flora,
the significance and scope
of Botany has widened,
than ever before. After
successful completion
of graduation in Botany,
one can work as biological
technician, while a post
graduate degree in the
subject makes the person
eligible to opt for a
career in teaching or
to take up research work
in any prominent University.
Besides, one can join
any reputed organization
as environment consultants,
plant explorers, ecologists,
conservationists, Park
ranger/Forester, Nursery
manager, Taxonomist.

Department
of Zoology |
|
|
The
Department of Zoology
has a long-standing reputation
for quality teaching with
research and industry
oriented approach for
undergraduates. The department
educates the students
into broad spectrum of
biology ranging from ecology
and chordates, and specializing
into cell & molecular
biology and biotechnology.
The Department also enrolls
students for highly regarded
M.Sc Zoology course. Admission
to M.Sc Zoology is made
centrally by the Faculty
of Science. The Department
also participates in teaching
B.Sc. Life Science and
B.Sc. Applied life sciences.
The Zoological museum
in the department helps
to enhance the understanding
of the subject from grass-root
level. The practical's
are supported by excellent
laboratory facilities
and well-trained faculty
members. Department offers
specialization in major
areas of Zoology like
Reproductive Biology and
Entomology.

Scope |
Zoology
is a science which
helps you to know
about yourself,
your health and
your surroundings.
As far as career
is concerned it
is a very wide field
and now many specialised
branches have been
established whose
degrees/diplomas
make you eligible
for many types of
services private
and public sector,
including all salary
slabs and even you
may go for your
own business based
on zoology.You can
work as a research
zoologist, conducting
experiments on specific
animals. Zoologists
spend their time
outdoors, as part
of their course
as well as their
work life. Zoos
absorb many trained
individuals. Other
opportunities include
government, environmental
consulting firms
and conservation
groups.
It also provides
student the opportunity
to get involved
in teaching line
which is no doubt
a respectable job
in any society.
For many courses
like M.Phil, PhD,
lecturer ship in
the field of science
M.Sc is a necessary
criterion.

Microbiology
is a branch of Biology that
includes the study of growth,
characteristics and various
other aspects related to the
life cycle of micro organisms
such as protozoa, algae, fungi,
bacteria and viruses. In other
words, it is the study of microscopic
organisms. A person who specializes
in the area of Microbiology
is called as Microbiologist.
The task of microbiologists
involves investigation of the
fascinating world of micro organisms
or microbes. Due to the advancement
in the field of science and
technology, the scope of research
in the field of microbiology
has widened. Ph.D or master's
degree is required for Research
& Development positions;
Bachelor degree holders have
employment potential as laboratory
technicians, aids to biological
scientists or as biology teachers.

|
|
Scope |
Microbiologists
find jobs in many places
like research and development
laboratories of government
and private hospitals,
research organizations,
pharmaceutical, food,
beverage and chemical
industries. Universities,
research institutes and
industrial companies employ
microbiologists to do
basic, environmental,
healthcare and agricultural
research.

Scope |
There is
a great scope in this field
as the demands for biotechnologist
are growing in India as well
as abroad. There is a large
scale employment in research
laboratories run by the government
as well as the corporate sector.
Biotechnology students in India
may find work in a government-based
entity such as universities,
research institutes or at private
centers as research scientists/assistants.
Alternatively they may find
employment in specialized biotechnology
companies or biotech-related
companies such as pharmaceutical
firms, food manufacturers, aquaculture
and agricultural.

Physics is
the broadest of the sciences.
Physics comprises astronomy,
electronics, optics, thermodynamics,
hydraulics, mechanics (statics
and dynamics), atomic theory,
cosmology, physical chemistry
and other fields. Physics is
concerned with those aspects
of nature which can be understood
in a fundamental way in terms
of elementary principles and
laws. The most basic parts of
physics are mechanics and field
theory. Mechanics is concerned
with the motion of particles
or bodies under the action of
given forces. The physics of
fields is concerned with the
origin, nature, and properties
of gravitational, electromagnetic,
nuclear, and other force fields.
The aim of physics is the construction
of a unified theoretical scheme
in mathematical terms whose
structure and behavior duplicates
that of the whole natural world
in the most comprehensive manner
possible. Where other sciences
are content to describe and
relate phenomena in terms of
restricted concepts peculiar
to their own disciplines, physics
always seeks to understand the
same phenomena as a special
manifestation of the underlying
uniform structure of nature
as a whole. In line with this
objective, physics is characterized
by accurate instrumentation,
precision of measurement, and
the expression of its results
in mathematical terms. For the
major areas of physics and for
additional listings of articles
in physics See also Acoustics;
Atomic physics; Biophysics;

has also established a well-organized
computer laboratory, consisting
of many personal computers.
Chemistry is that physical science
which includes the study of
a range of matters such as atoms,
crystals, molecules and many
other collections of matters
whether they are in isolation
or in combination. It also involves
the concepts of energy and entropy
that are related to the spontaneity
of various chemical processes.
Since this is a branch of natural
sciences, it is commonly known
as "The Science of Matter".

Professionals
working in this field
are called chemists. They
study the various compositions
of matters and its concerned
properties like density,
size, shape and acidity.
Usually the chemists specialize
in one or more sub disciplines
depending on their interests
and the choice of their
specialized field. A candidate
with a Master's degree
in Chemistry can get jobs
with government chemical
industries, pharmaceutical
industries, factories
etc. It is also possible
for them to join petroleum
companies such as the
Bharath Petroleum, Indian
Oil corporation etc. There
are many research institutes
in our country that require
professionals in the field
of chemistry. The ISRO,
DRDO, Bhabha Atomic research
