Hello,

If you have passed overall in Class 12 but got RT (Repeat Theory) in Chemistry, it might cause a problem during admission, depending on the college or university rules.

Some colleges may ask for a clear pass in all subjects before giving admission. Since you want to pursue Zoology, Chemistry is one of the main science subjects, so some colleges may not accept RT in it.

It’s better to check with the college where you are applying. If they allow provisional admission, you might get time to clear your RT before final admission.

Hope it helps !

Having "RT" (Repeat Theory) in chemistry when pursuing zoology won't be a problem for admission if you pass the compartment exam for chemistry. You'll need to clear the chemistry compartment exam to fulfill the minimum passing requirement for your Class 12th and to be eligible for higher education, says Careers360.

HEY THERE!!

  1. You must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) as core subjects from an accredited board in order to be admitted to a BSc Zoology program. Since chemistry is a prerequisite for admission, the majority of colleges demand that you have passed all of your 12th grade courses.
  2. Even if you have passed overall, you won't be regarded as having passed 12th grade if you have an RT (Result Withheld/Required to Take Exam Again) in Chemistry until you pass Chemistry. This might make admission difficult.

Dear Candidate,
Yes , it might be a problem if the college requires a minimum passing marks in all the subjects , particularly in Biology , chemistry or physics . For smooth admission, clear the RT exam and get an updated marksheet before admission, otherwise you may be considered ineligible.

even if  you have passed your 12th overall but have an RT (Re-appear/Fail) in Chemistry, it might affect your admission to some colleges  especially if you want to pursue Zoology or related life sciences. Most colleges demand passing all core science subjects, including Chemistry, for admission into Zoology or BSc life sciences courses. However, some colleges might allow provisional admission if you clear the RT exam before the academic session starts. It’s important to check with the specific college’s admission criteria, as rules vary. Clearing Chemistry is generally recommended to avoid issues during admission.
