Mysore University Genetics

My father is telling me to do the M.Sc. Genetics course form the Mysore University but before admission in course I want to check the syllabus to know that I can do this course or not. Please share the Mysore University M.Sc. Genetics syllabus with me?

Hello sir, I’m pursuing M.SC from Mysore University. In the M.Sc course program I have a Genetics subject for this subject I want its syllabus to get attempt exam? Can any one provide me syllabus of Mysore University Genetics?

The Mysore University was established in 1916 by the Maharaja of Mysore. This university is known for its glorious history, heritage, culture and quality in higher education.

The Mysore University is now the mother of four universities. Mysore University has been accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council

Mysore university offer M.Sc in Human Disease Genetics aims to fill an important need in the country. 2 year M.Sc is the best course for the science students. The curriculum includes a range of subjects from fundamental biology, genetics and population biology to clinical genetics and genomics.
