It's a Question of your Career!

Central Universities55% or more in B.Sc. with Zoology as a major subject

State UniversitiesUsually 50% or above (some accept 45% for reserved categories)

Private Universities45% to 50% in B.Sc., often with relaxed criteria

IITs/IISERs (if through JAM)55% (General), 50% (SC/ST/PwD), and must qualify JAM exam

Aim for at least 50–55% in Zoology and overall B.Sc.

Apply through CUET-PG, PG entrance exams, or university-level tests based on your target college

If your score is lower, consider private universities or open universities like IGNOU (which accept lower percentages)

Hi,

If you want to pursue M.Sc. in Zoology, then percentage required for admission can vary from university to university. There is no fixed percentage across all colleges but most universities have set a minimum of 50% to 55% marks in your B.Sc. degree, especially in your Zoology major or a related subject like in Delhi University and similar central universities may ask for at least 55% for general category students. For reserved categories like OBC/SC/ST, the required percentage is often lower around 45%–50%. State universities or other colleges may also accept students with just 50% aggregate in B.Sc., depending on seat availability.

Some top universities take admission through entrance exams like CUET-PG, or through university-specific exams. In such cases, the entrance exam score becomes more important, but still, you must meet the minimum qualifying marks for graduation.

Also, many universities give preference to students who studied Zoology as an Honours or Core subject, not as a generic subject. There’s no fixed percentage across all colleges. Different colleges ask for different marks .

Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR (All India Rank) of 1,60,000 in NEET and in the OC (Open Category) there is a very slim chance of getting an MBBS seat in a government medical college, especially in General Category seats through All India Quota (AIQ), but here are some options:

1. MBBS in Private Colleges: You could get a seat in a private medical college through the state quota, especially in Tier 2/3 states where the cutoffs are relatively lower. The fee would be high compared to government colleges.
2. BDS Seats: You have fair chances for BDS in both government & private dental colleges under the state quota.
3. Deemed Universities: Some deemed universities may offer MBBS seats at this rank but the fee is exorbitantly high (15 to 25 lakhs/year).
4. Management/NRI Quota: If you can afford, you can explore MBBS through management/NRI quota seats in private colleges.
5. Alternatives: You can think of allied health science courses such as BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing etc., which also have good career scope.

You can also participate in state counselling rounds, as sometimes, seats remain vacant/unfilled, including mop-up rounds.

Hello

No exact day in July is public yet, but the board's official notification confirms it was released in July around that timeframe.

I suggest you to monitor the official BSEB website bceceboard.bihar.gov.in (http://bceceboard.bihar.gov.in) or specific ITI result portal for the precise publication date and direct link.

Once the result is declared, you will likely need your roll code/roll number and date of birth to access the result download page.

Keep an eye out for announcements in the first half of July 2025.

Yes, you can get a scheduled tribe reservation in the all-India quota. These include outside regions like Himachal or Thiruvananthapuram. You just need to apply for AIQ, or All India Quota, through the online portal. There is a 15% reservation for your category.

I hope it helps you.!!

Hello

Yes, you can take pcmb.the UP Board does allow students to choose all four science subjects:

Physics

Chemistry

Mathematics

Biology

This combination is commonly called PCMB, and it's available in many government and private intermediate colleges affiliated with UP Board.

PhysicsCommon for NEET and JEE

ChemistryCommon for NEET and JEE

BiologyRequired for NEET

MathematicsRequired for JEE

Hindi/EnglishLanguage requirement (compulsory)

So by taking pcmb you are eligible for both neet and jee

Note:PCMB is demanding — you'll be covering two major streams (Medical + Engineering), so manage your time and focus well.

Some rural or small schools may not offer both Math and Biology due to limited teachers — confirm availability before admission.

Private schools affiliated to UP Board usually offer more flexibility in subject selection.

Choose a school that has proper faculty for both Maths and Biology.

Hello aspirant,

Thankyou for reaching out!

With your mentioned rank it's unlikely to get a government(free) seat in DUVASU  for competitive course like BVSC.However there's a fair chance of getting a paid seat ,under the EWS quota.Many students have secured a paid seat similar to your ranks.

Attend councelling,stay flexible with choices and prepare necessary documents and fees in advance

Hi,

With a 68th percentile in MHT CET under the Open category, you do have chances of getting admission into Civil Engineering in some good colleges in Pune, but top-tier colleges might be difficult to get at this percentile.

First, you have to understand how percentile works. A 68th percentile means your score is better than 68% of the students who appeared for the exam. Your exact rank will be calculated out of the total number of test takers, and cutoffs are released in ranks, not percentiles. In Pune, many private and semi-government colleges offer Civil Engineering, and the cutoffs vary based on the Institute type, whether it's an autonomous/government/private ,College reputation, and Previous year trends.

At 68 percentile, you can get a chance in the following types of colleges: Private colleges or recently established institutes, some autonomous colleges’ lower branches, or less preferred rounds, through Management quota seats as their fees may be higher.

Some Pune colleges where you can try for Civil Engineering:

D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pimpri

Sinhgad College of Engineering later rounds or institute-level seats

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering research

Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering

Zeal College of Engineering and Research

You may not get top choices like COEP, VIT Pune, or MIT-WPU at this percentile, but wait for CAP Round 2 or 3, and also explore institute-level seats and counselling vacancy rounds.

If you’re flexible about branch or college, you can still get a decent civil engineering seat. You should also apply early in the counselling rounds to improve your chances.

Best of luck with your admission process!
