BSc Bioinformatics is a bachelor’s course which specializes in the science of collecting and analysing complex biological data such as genetic codes. It is a field in which their interface between biology, computing, and statistics is used in organism biology, molecular biology and biomedicine.
Why Study BSc Bioinformatics?
Today’s job industry is full of vacancies for people with skills in bioinformatics.
The major pharmaceutical, biotech and software companies are seeking to hire professionals with experience in the bioinformatics field where they will be working with huge amounts of biological and health care information.
Bioinformatics is one of the rare fields that give opportunities to students from both the technical and life sciences field.
BSc Bioinformatics degree makes one capable of carrying out numerous significant research and activities such as designing drugs, comparing genetic data among different and same species, characterisation of proteins, etc.
This course is very beneficial to get employed in the application areas of Bioinformatics, one can try for careers in IT as well as in the area of life sciences and to pursue higher education courses related to the subject.
The eligibility criteria for this course
It require 10+2, with Physics, Chemistry and Biology from any recognized board of education.
BSc Bioinformatics admission is based on merit in most of the institutes and a few institutes also conduct their own entrance examinations. These entrance exams are followed by rounds of Personal Interview
The course fee in India ranges from INR 50K – 5 Lakhs per annum. However, the exact amount depends on the respective college chosen.
