The value of a college degree is universally recognized in our society today. A B.A. degree is a liberal arts degree which encompasses social science, languages and humanities. It provides the students with general knowledge in a wide variety of subjects and further equips the students with the abilities of critical thinking, reasoning and a better way of expressing themselves, all of which help in securing employments. A Bachelor of Science degree is a more specialized degree in technical or science related fields and inspires deep analytical comprehension, and innovative thinking. The best part of pursuing a degree in B.Sc. today is great employment opportunities in the field of research and development sector, as our government is taking a keen interest in developing the same. When it comes to selecting a B.A. or a B.Sc. degree, neither is better on its own merits. A student must decide a career path depending on his/her talents and inclinations.

Microbiology was introduced in the UG curriculum of the University of Calcutta in the year 1997 as a job-oriented inter-disciplinary course, keeping in mind the high demand of microbiologists at that time in a wide arena like health sector, dairy industry, processed food and beverages industry, pharmaceutical industry, animal husbandry as well as in agriculture and Biotechnological industries, apart from academic sector. However, the trend started to shift as most of the students graduating from this discipline chose higher education, including research, as their career path. Accordingly, the syllabus taught under the UG course has been moulded quite a few numbers of times to serve this dual objective of a job centric education as well as to cater the needs of an aspiring academician. The recent introduction of the CBCS curriculum has seen some much needed modifications such as introduction of a few skill based learning courses to make it more job centred.
