Should you pick M.Sc Biochemistry at St Aloysius?

This course suits students who like lab science and want a small department setting.

Pick it if:

You want lab work, not only theory: the course uses LC-MS, PCR units and tissue culture labs, so your projects stay practical.

You want a known life-science route: Biocon Biologics and Himalaya Wellness appear in the department's named outcomes.

Your fee limit is tight: the full fee is INR 1.93 Lakhs without hostel, so the loan pressure stays low.

You meet the mark rule: 45% is enough for General students, and the PG office checks papers before final admission.

Skip it if:

You want a salary-first course: the department publishes named outcomes, not an average salary, so compare the role before joining.

You need a sure hostel seat: hostel rooms are first come first served, and the fee is checked with the warden.

You want a large batch: the department lists 27 students, so peer learning is small.

You dislike interviews: the PG route uses an entrance test and interview before the fee confirms your seat.

Counsellor's advice

Take this course if you want lab work and can accept a smaller batch. If you need a salary figure first, ask the placement cell before paying.
