Hi! Yes, you can apply for UGC NET Environmental Science after completing your MSc in Zoology. Since Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary subject, candidates from allied life sciences like Zoology, Botany, Biotechnology, and related fields are eligible. Just make sure your post-graduation degree is from a recognized university with at least 55% marks (50% for reserved categories).

Hey Chiku ! Yes, you are eligible to appear for UGC NET in Environmental Science after completing your M.Sc. in Zoology. UGC allows candidates who have done their post-graduation in related subjects like Zoology, Botany, Life Sciences, or Environmental Studies. The main condition is that you should have at least 55% marks in your M.Sc. (50% if you belong to a reserved category).

So, if you fulfill this percentage requirement, you can definitely apply and choose Environmental Science as your subject for NET. Many students from Zoology background prepare for Environmental Science, so you don’t need to worry.

HELLO,

Yes, you can give the UGC NET Environment Science exam with an M.Sc in zoology , but you have to meet the eligibility criteria that typically includes :-

  • the minimum aggregate marks requirement typically 55 percent ( For reserved categories there may be some relaxation )
  • A masters degree is from a recognized university
  • Relevant subject :- Environmental Science is listed as a subject where a master's degree in a related field like zoology makes you eligible

Hope this Helps!

Yes, if you have done M.Sc. Zoology (Hons.) you can apply for UGC NET in Environmental Science. You should have 55% marks (50% for reserved categories). Both Zoology and Environmental Science come under Life Sciences, so you can apply.
There is no age limit for NET, but for JRF age must be below 28 years with relaxations for reserved categories.
