Candidates must typically have finished their higher secondary school (10+2) from an accredited board with an emphasis on courses like biology, psychology, physics, and chemistry in order to meet the eligibility requirements for admission to a B.Sc. programme in biological psychology. In the 12th grade, a minimum cumulative score of roughly 50–60% is usually necessary, though this can change based on the school. Candidates must have taken biology or psychology as fundamental subjects in their senior secondary education, according to some universities' or institutions' subject requirements.
