Niche area of study: Courses in ichthyology, a branch of zoology, devoted to the study of fish, are offered only in a few universities abroad.

I would like to know about content creation and management and the career prospects.

Effective content is an essential key to a successful business. Product documentation and websites head a long list of content carriers that include training courses, press releases, constant flow of internal notes, procedures, instructions, reports, etc. Content creation and management is a unique course that blends the curriculum of a journalism school, a film school, and a management school.

School of Convergence, New Delhi, offers a two-year professional course in content creation and management. Placement opportunities exist in top media organizations

A postgraduate programme in sports management gives graduates the practical and theoretical knowledge to enter the highly competitive field of sports management. Courses include training in management of both professional and non-professional sports businesses as well as organisational management, logical planning, marketing, advertising, financial management, and working as part of a management team.

Naval Tata Centre of Excellence in Sports Management under the Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management, kolkata, offers one-year full-time postgraduate programme in sports management. Job prospects are excellent as we have many top sports goods manufacturing industries across the country.

Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish. This includes skeletal fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). So in a broader sense, ichthyology is scientific study of fishes, including, as is usual with a science that is concerned with a large group of organisms, a number of specialised sub-disciplines: Taxonomy, anatomy (or morphology), behavioural science (ethology), ecology, and physiology. Because of the great importance of fish as human food, economic ichthyology is a significant segment of the field. In India we do not have universities or colleges offering a specific course in ichthyology but there are a few institutes in the U.K., USA, and South Africa offering postgraduate programmes.
