Postgraduate degree in genetics/ allied subjects may be pursued at some of the agricultural universities, University Of Delhi, Osmania University , Hyderabad, Andhra University , Visakhapatnam, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, University of Kerala, ,Thiruvananthpuram, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, etc. M Sc in Human Genetics is offered in only a few universities like Jiwaji University Gwalior (http://www.jiwaji.edu/sos/zoology.htm), Andhra University, Vishakhapatnam( www.andhrauniversity.info/science/humangenetics/index.html), Manipal University, Manipal (www.manipal.edu), Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai (www.srmc.edu), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (http://www.gnduonline.org/department/human.asp) and at National Centre for Human Genome Studies & Research , Panjab University, Chandigarh (http://nchgsr.puchd.ac.in/). Immunology is usually offered as a PhD programme after a biological science (including medicine, veterinary science and pharmacy) post graduation. It would not be possible for you to apply for universities across the country because the admission norms and entrance exam (where required) schedules would be difficult to coordinate. Hence, the best course of action would be to focus on the universities which offer admission based on a national level entrance test. Indicative examples.(08.12.2008)

I mdoing B.Sc. Ist yr with subjects Physics,electronics, maths.plz tell me how to apply for GRE physics as to get admission in a master degree programme.what are the scholarship programmes which indian government offers to students for studying abroad ?

GRE scores are required while applying for a Master's or PhD degree, primarily in US universities. Your BSc Physics would not be a sufficient base for taking up a master's degree in the US, so you could consider the same after MSc here. Or, do your MSc here, work for a few years and then apply for PhD abroad. Scholarships offered by the Indian Government would be listed on www.ugc.ac.in or www.education.nic.in. Also keep track of the notifications in the prominent dailies. Indicative examples.(08.12.2008)

please give me information about medical transcription course. iam interested in naturopathy give guidelines

Medical transcription is the process of converting a health care provider's dictated (or handwritten) notes into accurate, readable records. Medical transcription requires a practical knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, disease processes, and the internal organization of medical reports. Thus, the medical transcriptionist must be conversant with the language of medicine and surgery, but this relates to allopathic medicine, not naturopathy. Medical Transcription as a business is classified as an IT enabled service in India and is also part of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing). Advertisements of medical transcription training appear in the prominent dailies and may also be tracked on the internet. You could find out about the Naturopathy courses and other related information from the website of the National Institute of Naturopathy, Pune (http://www.punenin.org/faq.htm). Normally, the Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences is the formal training for naturopathy. You can find out more by contacting the Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy,61-65 Institutional Area,Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058 (www.ccryn.org).(08.12.2008)

i did my BSc in zoology from mumbai university and am hoping to get a admission in MSc environmental science.does the feild have scope here in india ? what other feilds i can opt for ?

The field has scope in India, but unless the university offers direct placement from campus, you would have to be responsible for the job search. It may not be easy to locate jobs for fresh post graduates. Pursuing a PhD or MTech would enhance employment potential and provide long term prospects. You could also pursue MSc Biotech or MSc Bioinformatics, etc but the choice of employment from these courses would also tend to be in research or academia. Hence you have to be sure that you have the passion, enthusiasm and ability to pursue such careers. You are also eligible to diversify into other fields through relevant professional courses in law(LLB), management (MBA), etc or appear for competitive examinations like the Indian Forest Service Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (www.upsc.gov.in) for direct entry into government service. You can also try for other competitive exams by the Ithe UPSC, Staff Selection Commission and the State Public Service Commission, Bank Probationary Officers jobs, etc. Examples are indicative.(16.12.2008)

hello i have completed m.sc (zoology)with specialization in envioronmental science with 52%marks .i want to do phd.please tell me the right career option.

You should plan for your PhD first by investigating with your own university, the eligibility criteria for admission and the subjects and themes you have in mind for your research. It would help you to review the nature of employment avenues and fields of work that interest you, and to plan your PhD accordingly. The PhD would not necessarily lead to a job without your personal initiative and effort. Consider PhD if you are keen to take up careers in research or teaching in higher education institutions because those would be the most obvious employment opportunities.(16.12.2008)

If your BSc score was better, you could look for secondary school teaching positions based on that. You could upgrade your MSc qualification by completing MSc in an interdisciplinary programme linked to the biological sciences like biotechnology or life science or environment science which are offered as subjects at the higher secondary level. However, it is possible that academic pursuits are not really in line with your abilities. Hence, you may have to consider alternative options also.(25.02.2009)

i am student pursuing my study in M.Sc forensic science.please tell me about the vacancies and reserch scholarships regarding my subject. and also if there are any prospects of going abroad for reserch or job .

This is not a job search facility, but is meant to offer career guidance and counseling. Vacancies for forensic scientists and openings for research scholarships would either appear in the prominent dailies, professional journals, websites of likely organizations and in Employment News (for government jobs). Placement prospects in forensic science (post graduation or PhD) are in the Central Forensic Science Laboratories at Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Delhi through competitive selection procedure. Jobs are available in the criminal investigation and law enforcement departments of the state and central governments. State government jobs would require proficiency in reading and writing in the regional language. Teaching and research are other opportunities for employment. Forensic scientists may work in the areas of insurance claims, document registrations, forgery detections and other white-collar crimes including cyber crime. You can consider prospects for higher studies abroad in the form of MS-PhD or Phd programmes. Jobs abroad without relevant work experience would be difficult.

I am MBBS student. I want to know whether PG Diploma of clinical research is good option for medico. Which is the best institute for it?

A clinical research is a scientific study of the effects, risks, efficacy and benefits of a medicinal product. These are carried out prior to the release of the medicine in the market. These trials are undertaken at various stages and studies are conducted after the launch of a new product to monitor safety and side effects during large-scale use. Clinical trials are conducted by pharmaceutical companies or contract research organisations (CRO.s) on their behalf. It is this sector that is driving the growth in clinical research in India.

However, normally the entry level courses in Clinical Research are designed for students having B.sc Qualification. Some of the institutes conducting courses in Clinical research are listed below:
  • Academy for Clinical Excellence (ACE) Website: www.aceindia.org It offers courses like Clinical Research; From Theory to Practice, clinical Research and GCP for investigators, Quality assurance in clinical research etc.
