B.SC. (Bachler in Science)
Program Description
B.Sc. or Bachelor of Science is an undergraduate degree of three years duration which is universally offered across institutes and universities across India. B. Sc. is one of the most popular courses opted for by students who have a flair for scientific aptitude and zeal for research-oriented and calculative approaches based on a proven systematic method. Science is all about experimentation, research and discovery. A BSc degree is a culmination of both theoretical and practical ways of learning. Pursuing a B.Sc. degree also opens up multiple avenues for a student and he/she can either opt for higher studies in Science or any other discipline which may be related to or different from the subjects studied during graduation. However, a Master of Science (MSc) is the most popular higher education alternative opted for by students after completing BSc.
A B.Sc. programme can be further classified into two categories – B.Sc. Honours and B.Sc. General or Pass. The former focuses on one major subject area. The curriculum is designed to keep more focus on the Honours subject, and also includes subjects or papers from the elective subjects students opt for. The purpose of studying for the B.Sc. programme is to inculcate theoretical, practical and research skills among students.
On the other hand, the B.Sc programme provides basic knowledge of the major Science subjects to the students. The curriculum is slightly lesser rigorous, but it includes both theoretical and practical components.
The pedagogy of B.Sc. programmes is a combination of theory and practical lessons. The B.Sc. curriculum includes practical lessons which carry a considerable amount of weightage. To pass a semester, students need to pass both the theory as well practical exams. Subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics form the core of the BSc degree. There are a plethora of specialisations and branches offered in the BSc course.
BSc Eligibility Criteria
The BSc eligibility criteria are as follows:
- Candidates should clear Class XII in the Science stream with a minimum of 50 per cent to 60 per cent aggregate from a recognised board. It may be noted that the minimum percentage required for BSc admissions may vary depending on the policy of the university/ college to which a candidate is applying.
- Candidates must have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) or Physics, Chemistry and Biology as core subject combinations.
- Generally, there is no age limit for pursuing a BSc unless specified by an institute’s eligibility criteria
