You can opt for an MSc in Zoology without having a BSc in Zoology degree. However, the eligibility requirements remain the same. You have to be from a Science background with PCB/PCMB as your core subjects and with a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline. Having a BSc Zoology degree is not mandatory but definitely helps students set the foundation for their PG study.
