Microbiology has gained new stature. Micro-organisms & their activities increasingly central to many of the concerns of society both nationally & internationally.
The problem of global environment, the recognition of the need to recycle natural resources, the discovery of recombinant DNA & the resulting high technology of genetic engineering these & other development have placed Microbiology in the lime light. Microbiology has emerged as the key biological science. Micro-organisms provide the model used in molecular biology for research. This research at molecular level has provided and continues to provide the answers to numerous fundamental questions in genetics, metabolism, cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition of the potential of microorganisms in many applied areas. The ability of micro-organisms to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicide, pesticide, as an ability to supplement food, to produce energy &other uses of micro-organisms are becoming increasingly attractive.
Since the syllabus takes into account many frontiers of biology, the candidates will also be in great demand abroad. Some of the interested will also be able to do the doctoral studies both in lndia & abroad afler the completion of the PG Degree.
