Genetics

Zoology is the branch of biology that specifically deals with the study of animals. Zoologists study various aspects of animals, including their anatomy, physiology, behaviour, ecology, and evolution.

On the other hand, Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. You can check the table below to see the comparison between the two courses.

Hi, yes you can pursue a degree in Genetics without a background in Mathematics, especially at the UG level. While some degree programs may have minimal math requirements, the emphasis in Genetics is generally on biological and molecular concepts rather than advanced mathematical principles.

Two colleges in Delhi offer BSc Genetics course. Candidates can check the details of these colleges in the table below.

Hi, though both fields have unique characteristics and applications. If you are into genetic information, heredity, and the molecular basis of traits, Genetics might be a better fit. If you are interested in applying biological principles to develop new technologies, Biotechnology could be more suitable.
Further, if you aspire to work in the development of new drugs, biotechnological processes, or genetic engineering, Biotechnology might align better. 

If you enjoy reading about the structure, function, and inheritance of genes, have related career goals, enjoy experiments, and envision a career in research, a Bachelor of Science in Genetics is a good course to take. Your abilities, interests, and long-term goals will all play a role in determining whether a career is right for you.

BSc Genetics course admissions are majorly based on Class 12 scores. However, some colleges conduct entrance exams such as CUET and ICAR AIEEA. CUET is not the exam conducted by these universities, some colleges also conduct university-level exams.

You can get admission to a BSc Genetics college based on your Class 12 scores. Here are some options you may like:

Any student with PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) subjects in Class 12 with a minimum of 50 -60% aggregate marks from a recognised board is eligible for BSc Genetics admissions. However, you may need to check the official site of your desired college for specific requirements.

The scope of a BSc in Genetics is broad both in India and overseas because the field of research and development is developing quickly and making new discoveries every day. You can find work in a variety of industries as a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Genetics program, including clinical research, healthcare, biotechnology, agriculture, pharmaceutics, and more.
