Unfortunately, not. Botany is the area of Science that particularly focuses on plant life and microorganisms which is a part of Biology. To get admission to a BSc in Botany course, the minimum eligibility is to have Biology subject in Class 12. Without Biology as a core subject in Class 12, a student cannot enrol in the course.

Many BSc colleges in India do not require candidates to have a higher percentage to enroll. The minimum eligibility criteria to get admission to a BSc course is to obtain a minimum of 50% aggregate score in Class 12 with PCMB/PCM/PCB subjects.

Thus, scoring less than 60% will still land you several good college options offering BSc courses of various types. Additionally, BSc courses can be pursued in both full-time and online modes. Hence, Online Botany courses sometimes don't even require candidates to have certain marks in Class 12.
