- I'm the student of B.Sc. final year (physics,statistics),and wants to do M. Sc.(bioinformatics)I wants to know-What are its eligibilities to be get admitted What are the various institutions that gives its degree. Finally what are its scope & job opportunities?
- I am doing my third year BCA. I would like to do Bioinformatics in my PG. Could you please guide me about the course, universities and colleges offering the course, fee structure and about the scholarships. I opted for BCA because I heard that a degree in IT would do for this course even though there is no Biology background. Is it true?

created: 22nd Mar 2017 Last Modified: 27th Mar 2017You have two options to be into Bio-informatics. You can either do an Advanced Diploma in Bioinformatics or a Ph. D in Bioinformatics.
Advanced Diploma in Bioinformatics is offered by Bioinformatics Centre, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 110 067 and Bioinformatics Centre, University of Pune, Pune 411 007. Eligibility for the course at JNU: M.Sc., in any branch of Biological Sciences such as Biochemistry, Biophysics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Botany, Zoology etc with at least 55% marks or equivalent grades/grade point. MBBS are also eligible if they had Mathematics up to class 10 level.
Eligibility for the course at University of Pune: Master's degree (M. Sc.) in Bio technology, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology, Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences, MCA or Bachelors degree in Engineering (B.E.), Technology (B. Tech.), or Medicine (MBBS), M. Pharm, MD, M.E, or equivalent qualifications with a minimum 60% aggregate marks (55% for candidates belonging to the reserved category).
Various Universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University, Indian Institute of Science, and University of Pune offer Ph. D. Eligibility for Ph. D: M.

You can get a job as a research scientist, as a research fellow, or as a teacher with a Bioinformatics centre of Universities like Madurai Kamaraj University, Pune University, and Jawaharlal Nehru University or a Bioinformatics centre of a research institution like National Centre for Biological Sciences and Bose Institute; with pharmaceutical companies and Biotechnology based companies which have business interest in Bioinformatics; or with companies dealing with Biomedical software development and biological information management.
In India, the demand for Bioinformaticists is not significant at present. But with the nationwide initiatives taken by Department of Biotechnology of Government of India, leading Universities, and the private sector companies, the future looks promising. There is a huge demand for trained Bioinformaticists in U.S.A., Europe and Australia. These countries have taken a lead in research in the field of genetics and it is here that the best prospects lie.
