The best BSc course after 12th biology depends on individual interests and career goals. To make an informed decision, you can consider factors like:

1. Areas of Biology: There are several classifications of studies even within biology. Before picking up a BSc course in any of the biology streams, weigh your interests and ask yourself questions about whether you are more interested in studying cellular organisms (molecular biology, biochemistry), macro-organisms (zoology/botany), or environmental biology (marine biology, ecology, oceanography).
2. Career Choices: Determine whether you wish to settle for a career in research (academics, pure sciences) or you want to go for a more practical/industry-related approach. If you want to go into a research field (PhD) or want, then, opt for a pure Science course like BSc (H.) Biology would be a better choice. However, if you wish to be industry-ready, looking for applied courses or some interdisciplinary courses like biochemistry or applied biology would be a great choice. 

Below are some popular BSc courses (or streams) for biology students after 12th.

• BSc in Pure/Core Science Subject: These courses teach about the core fundamental concepts of biology and prepare one for a career in academics or research (by following a master's degree and a PhD). Courses like BSc in Genetics, Microbiology, Zoology, Botany and Biochemistry may be a good fit.
• BSc in Applied Sciences: In these courses, biological concepts are taught combinedly with other streams. This gives an edge over the current trends while helping one to improve their practical skills and knowledge. Courses like biotechnology, food science, and marine biology are a good fit.
• Healthcare Streams: One can get into the healthcare field without having to pursue an MBBS. Courses like nursing and health & nutrition help combine biology with body dynamics and healthcare to make a highly lucrative career in these emerging fields.
