Dear Swathi,
If you want to pursue M.Sc in Zoology from a recognized university, you must have complete the B.Sc in the relevant discipline. If you are seeking to pursue M.Sc in zoology from the University of Delhi, you must have complete the B.Sc in the relevant discipline from any of the recognized institution with a minimum of 50% to 60% in honors and regular respectively as aggregate marks as well as the same percentage of marks obtained in Zoology.
Admission is based through Entrance Examinations. Provision for admission on the merit basis is for those candidates who have completed the B.Sc (honors) in Zoology or applied Zoology with a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate and in the main subject from the University of Delhi.
If you are seeking to pursue the M.Sc program from University of Pune, you must fulfill any of the following eligibility criteria:
1. B.Sc of Pune University with 60% marks with Zoology as the main subject.
2. B.Sc of Pune University with 60% marks with Microbiology, Physics, Chemistry and Botany as main subject with Zoology as subsidiary subject and B.Sc Biotechnology.
B.Sc of any other university with Zoology or Life Sciences or Biological Sciences or Animal Sciences, etc. as principal subject. Admission is based on Entrance Examination. The duration of the program is two years.
In order to become a Lecturer in a degree college, one has to appear in the National Eligibility Test [NET] conducted by the university grant commission. Candidate who hold a Master's Degree from a recognized Institution with 55% aggregate are eligible to appear in the NET. However, the NET one is seeking to give is only eligible in the department in which one has pursued the Masters.
I hope it helps. Please feel free to revert.
All the best.

Hi Sree Lakshmi,
The options are unlimited, as you have done your class 12 with science. With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural science, dairy science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology). Apart from doing the degree level courses in science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. you can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses. For pursuing a course in engineering you should have Maths as compulsory subject in 10+2. However, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Website: www.aiims.ac.in or www.aiims.edu, offers B.Tech (Biotechnology) with Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. To get admission in the top medical college in India you would need to score above 90% in 12th and do very well in entrance exam.
With a PCM combination of subjects, you can pursue almost any field you set your mind on. You can ofcourse do Engineering which is a professional degree and has streams such as Electrical, Mechanical, Electronic and Communication etc. You can do your graduation in subjects of your interest, even switching to Humanities or Commerce streams if you so desire.
You can do a BCA (Computer Applications), BBA (Business Administration), Law, Civil Aviation – Pilot, Astronomy, Architecture, Design, Mass Communication, Merchant Navy, Defense Forces, Psychology, Civil Services etc. To decide on the course, you should analyse your strengths, career goals, interests, personality, aptitude and ability. If you decide based on these parameters you will put in your best effort and will be successful in your chosen field.
