Dr M Surekha Reddy, principal of RBVRR Women's College, says research opportunities in life sciences have increased. Now life sciences graduates have more institutes that offer research fellowships and scholarships in India. In a chat with Express, she throws light on the subject.

The proposed CBCS may usher in new combination courses in all streams. Do you think it will help life science graduates?

It helps to study different subjects in any stream. But life science courses already have many combination courses. Apart from the conventional courses like Botany, Zoology and Chemistry, we also have many combinations of life sciences with Chemistry being the common subject. For instance, there are courses with Chemistry being clubbed with Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Food Technologies. But all these courses are available only at the graduate level. PG courses rather focus on particular specialisation.
