Chemistry

Chemistry courses are offered on various levels such as UG, PG, Doctorate, Diploma, and Certification. While the eligibility criteria to get admission to a Chemistry course depends on the its level, the minimum eligibility is to pass Class 12 in the Science stream with PCM/PCB/PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) as core subjects with minimum 55% aggregate from a recognised board. Eligibility criteria for other course levels include:Chemistry Course LevelEligibility CriteriaUGClass12 in the Science stream, With PCM/PCB/PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) as core subjects, Minimum 50% aggregate marks from a recognised board.PGBachelor's degree in BSc Chemistry or any relevant BSc descipline from a recongnized university.PhDPostgraduate degree in MSc Chemistry or any relevant MSc discipline from a recongnized university.Diploma/CertificationClass12 in the Science stream, With PCM/PCB/PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) as core subjects.

The area of science known as Chemistry studies the fundamental substances and elements that comprise our environment. The study of atoms, molecules, and their interactions is its main focus.However, Biochemistry is a specialized field that combines Biology and Chemistry. It focuses on the materials and chemical reactions that take place inside living things.

Yes, you can certainly do a BMLT course after completing your B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry. Most of the institutions allow admission to the BMLT course for candidates having a Science background with Chemistry. Your academic performance with 64.8 percent in B.Sc and 73 percent in 12th PCM is decent enough to meet the eligibility criteria of most colleges.However, you have to know the admission requirements specific to your interested institution. Very few institutions may demand additional prerequisites or entrance exams. Your background in Chemistry will come in handy while understanding the technical dimension of laboratory works in the BMLT course.
