In terms of admission into Presidency University's Bachelor of Life Science, this usually depends upon the candidate's performance in his or her Class 12 board exams and that of the entrance test conducted by the university itself, if such a test exists.

If you have interest in any of the areas such as nutrition, human development, family resource management, and textiles, you can choose Home Science. If you have a career goal in health, education, or community service sectors, then Home Science would be the best fit for you.

Yes, you can pursue MSW degree after graduating with Life Sciences or with a BSc degree in general. However, you can also look into the prerequisites defined by the university you want to get admission into. Entrance criteria for MSW courses also vary from college to college. Most of the universities accept MSW admission against any UG degree.
