Q.I have just given my Class XII exams (non-med). I wish to join my uncle who is in the seafood processing and export business. What would be the best place for me to study. —Sarvesh Dogra
A.Fishery science is the study of fish husbandry for commercial, ecological and recreational purposes. It also includes the management of marine life resources including fisheries.
You should ideally be looking at doing a bachelor’s in fishery science (BFSc) from a good university. And there are quite a few of them.
The 4-year BFSc course will typically cover topics such as: Core Fishery Biol, Aquaculture, Fishery Oceanography, Fishery Engg, Fishery Microbiology, Fishery Biochemistry, Aquatic Biology, Fish Processing Tech, Fisheries Extension, Fisheries Statistics, etc.
However, a recent offering has cought my eye and merits checking out:
n Central Institute of Fisheries Nautical & Engg Training (CIFNET), Kochi,
Bachelor of Fishery Science (Nautical Science), 4-year
Affl to Cochin University of Science & Tech (CUSAT), Kochi & approved by DG Shipping, Mumbai
Eligibility: +2 with min 50% in all PCB /r PCM subjs
Selection: Common Entrance Test along with 50% weightage of academic performance/interview.
This one of its kind course is conducted by the 8-sem prog includes integrated practical & onboard training on ocean going fishing vessels
Another bonus is that PCM students are directly eligible for GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress & Safety System) after BFSc (NS) degree.
*GMDSS is an internationally mandated set of safety procedures, types of equipment, and communication protocols used to increase safety and easily rescue distressed ships, boats and aircraft.

Better to relocate abroad after BDS
Q.I am currently doing my BDS in India. I am very keen to settle in Australia. Should I complete my master’s in dentistry here and then move to Australia? — Yogesh Kwatra
A.My suggestion would be to go there straight after completing your BDS. You won’t really achieve much by doing a Masters in India, especially since you intend to practice in Australia.
Of course you’ll have to clear the ADC exams first in order to get a license to practice Down Under.
For July session, send in your applications by May. For the Feb session: apply before Dec and get a confirmation date 6-8 weeks before starting date. Allow at least 8 weeks for the visa).
IELTS (6.0 score) compulsory for all students.
