Hello Madhuri,
B.Sc (or B.Sc General) Bachelors degree and B.Sc Bachelors degree (Hons), are both academic degrees given to undergraduate students. Here, we're looking at the difference between the two academic degrees. B.Sc (Hons)is much more specialised as compared to the B. Sc (General) degree, and academically, B.Sc (Hons)is a more standard degree as compared to B.Sc (general). If you want to study any one of the main sciences (eg. Chemistry, physics, mathematics etc.). In detail, it is advisable to go for a B.Sc (Hons) course. But if you want a more balanced and multi-disciplinary approach, it is better to pursue a B.Sc (General) course for under-graduate studies.

The most common route to this course is through direct entry. A merit list is prepared on the basis of scores in the under graduation programme and selection is made accordingly. This admission procedure is followed by all the universities. There are some universities which conduct their entrance tests for the purpose of taking admissions. Banaras Hindu University conducts post graduate entrance exam for taking admissions for postgraduate course in botany. University of Rajasthan holds Joint Entrance Test for admissions in Master courses with a 70% weight assigned to entrance and the rest to academic record of qualifying exam. Entrance Mode:
