Chemistry Eligibility

Yes, you are eligible for VIT admission because they require at least 60% average marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Math combined. Even though you scored 55% in Math, your overall average in PCM is around 63%, so you meet the eligibility criteria.

The eligibility criteria for B.Tech in Computer Science (CS) typically require students to have a background in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) for several reasons:

• Physics and Chemistry help develop analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Understanding concepts from these subjects can enhance a student's ability to tackle complex problems, which is crucial in computer science.
• Mathematics is fundamental to computer science. Topics like discrete mathematics, algorithms, and data structures heavily rely on mathematical concepts.

Chemistry courses are offered on various levels such as UG, PG, Doctorate, Diploma, and Certification. While the eligibility criteria to get admission to a Chemistry course depends on the its level, the minimum eligibility is to pass Class 12 in the Science stream with PCM/PCB/PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) as core subjects with minimum 55% aggregate from a recognised board. Eligibility criteria for other course levels include:

No, you will be eligible for admission to colleges if you fail in chemistry and pass other subjects in the West Bengal Board HS exams as a minimum percentage or minimum passing score for all courses is required.

Supplementary Exam: If a student fails a subject, such as chemistry, the West Bengal Board may conduct further exams.

Recently IGNOU launched their new Masters programme MSCPH which is Master of Science (physics) and the eligibility criteria for doing this PG programme the qualification required as per their site is follows:

• Graduates with Major/Honours in Physics

• Graduates with a B.Sc. Degree (including IGNOU B.Sc. Programme under CBCS) with Physics and Mathematics

• Graduates with a B.Sc. Degree of IGNOU or any recognised Open University with a minimum of 32 Credits of Physics, and Mathematics as one of the subjects.

To be eligible for the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.) in Chemistry, you generally need to have a bachelor's degree in any Science discipline. For the Chemistry paper specifically, you need a bachelor's degree with Chemistry as a major subject for at least two years or four semesters, and Mathematics as a subsidiary subject for at least one year or two semesters.

Since you are pursuing a B.Sc in Zoology with Chemistry and Geology as minor subjects, you may be eligible for the IIT JAM Chemistry exam as long as you meet the specific eligibility criteria mentioned above.
