It depends on your aptitude, background, study habits, and personal interests. However, it's important to understand that an MSc program, including an MSc Botany, is a PG-level programme and is generally more academically demanding than undergraduate studies.

Academic Background: Your undergraduate preparation and prior knowledge in botany and related sciences will influence your experience. If one has a strong foundation in Biology and Botany, they may find it less challenging. An MSc in Botany can be intellectually challenging due to its specialised coursework and research requirements.

Botany is not typically a subject in the core curriculum of an MBBS program. MBBS focuses on medical sciences, Human Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Pathology, and Clinical Medicine. It is designed to train medical doctors to diagnose, treat, and prevent human illnesses. Meanwhile, Botany is the scientific study of plants.
