M.Phil. Biomedical Sciences is a postgraduate master’s degree programme that deals with further studies in several fields of biomedical sciences that includes biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, physiology, genetics, molecular and cell biology, immunology, and biotechnology. The M.Phil. Biomedical Sciences program often takes 1-2 years to complete and the curriculum includes course work and completion of a thesis or dissertation. The coursework as a rule offers the broad spectrum of difficult subjects in biomedical sciences to equip students for specific research work.
It also accepting many national and university level entrance examination for admission in M.Phil. Biomedical Sciences programs. Some of the most popular exams include CSIR UGC NET for JRF, ICMR JRF, GATE, JEST, JGEEBILS, TIFR GS, GPAT, as well as university level examinations like DUET, BHU PET, JNUEE, HCU PG Entrance. Furthermore, in the admission process, many institutes rely on the academic scores, research background, and the interview performances of the candidates rather than or in parallel to the entrance test scores.
