Hello there,

Yes, you can pursue a Master’s in Science (M.Sc.) , but there are some important eligibility conditions and possible steps you may need to take since your graduation was in Bengali (Arts stream) and M.Sc. is a science stream postgraduate program .

General Eligibility for M.Sc.:

1. You must have completed a B.Sc. or equivalent degree in a relevant science subject (like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, etc.).
   
   

2. Most universities require a minimum of 50–60% marks in your B.Sc. (some relaxation for SC/ST/OBC).
   
   

3. Some universities conduct entrance exams like CUET-PG, IIT JAM, BHU PET, or university-level tests .
   
   Since you graduated in Bengali (not a science subject):

You are not directly eligible for a traditional M.Sc. course in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, etc.

However, here are your alternative options :

1. Bridge Course / Lateral Entry (rare but available in some open universities):

• You can apply for a B.Sc. through open or distance mode (e.g., IGNOU or NSOU).
  
  

• After completing B.Sc., you’ll become eligible for M.Sc.
  
  2. Pursue M.Sc. in Interdisciplinary Fields:

Some universities offer M.Sc. in subjects that allow graduates from other streams:

• M.Sc. in Environmental Science

• M.Sc. in Disaster Management

• M.Sc. in Psychology (sometimes open to Arts graduates)

• M.Sc. in Food and Nutrition (if you studied Home Science or Biology in 12th)

Check the university’s eligibility criteria carefully.

3. Take a Second Bachelor's Degree in Science:

If you’re serious about a core science M.Sc., you can:

• Re-enroll for a B.Sc. in the science subject you want to pursue.

• After graduation, apply for M.Sc.
  
  Next Steps:

• Decide which science subject you’re interested in.

• Check eligibility criteria on university websites or CUET PG portal.

• Consider open universities for flexible study paths (like IGNOU).

• If needed, pursue bridge or foundation courses to qualify.
