With a BSc in Zoology completed in 2017, you are not directly eligible for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) for most PhD programs, which primarily require an MSc in Physics or related fields. However, some institutes may consider candidates with a BSc in Physics for Integrated PhD programs.

Candidates with an MSc or an advanced BSc degree in Physics or Computer Science are eligible, based on the programme and the institute's eligibility criteria they want to apply for. So, the best suggestion is to check out the eligiblity criteria of all the institutes a candidates wish to get admission to avoid any sort of confusion.

No, apart from Physics, JEST is also for those candidates who are interested in pursuing Theoretical Computer Science, Neuroscience, and Computational Biology at the PhD level. Therefore, candidates who wish to appear for the JEST Exam must go through the eligibility criteria in detail before filling out the JEST Application Form.

No, sorry Divya. You are not eligible for it.
You can try for some B.Sc course by which you can excel in your favourite subject.
My best wishes
All the very best.
