CUET

Yes, it will be possible to get admissions into various courses by selecting only Biology and the General Test under CUET. The reason is that most of the universities offer programs in the areas of B.Sc in Biological Sciences, Environmental Science, or in any other related discipline which accepts Biology as a subject. Other courses that may not be strictly science-based courses can also be qualified through the General Test. Of course, the particular courses which will be offered are only determined by participating universities and criteria for eligibility. Prudent students would research courses in universities of interest and try to find those which might offer the courses a student wishes to take.
