From our school days we have been taught to choose a course which is job oriented. The idea is to seek a reputed job regardless of the knowledge it might possess.We have restricted our imagination where we end up in making choices which are sooner or later being regretted. There is a need to change the mind sets and to change the education system such that it should teach us to innovate, imagine & to establish with our own knowledge beyond a mean to earn just for livelihood.

Microbiology is one such course where the scope is infinite and the growth is tremendous. NIU is amongst the leading universities in Noida offering Microbiology as a mainstream course.
