No, there is no college under the University of Delhi (DU) that offers a B.Sc. in neuroscience, but DU does offer a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. This programme is a joint effort between the departments of Psychology and Biological Sciences. DU does offer a variety of other B.Sc. programs, including: B.Sc. (Hons.) Biomedical ScienceB.Sc. (H) in Computer ScienceB.Sc. (H) in StatisticsB.Sc. (H) in MicrobiologyB.Sc. in Life ScienceB.Sc. (H) in MathematicsTo be admitted to a DU B.Sc. program, you must pass the CUET entrance exam. After passing the exam, you must register on the Delhi University's Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal for seat allocation. 

PUC-2 (12th grade) students are typically eligible to apply for B.Sc. in Neuroscience without the need for NEET or KCET, depending on the specific college or university. Many universities and colleges offering this course either require a basic Science background (with Biology as one of the subjects) or accept students based on their 12th-grade marks and other entrance exams. However, some institutions might offer alternative entrance tests for specialised courses like Neuroscience.In particular, several institutions, such as Sai University and Bangalore University, may provide opportunities for students to pursue a B.Sc. in Neuroscience without requiring NEET or KCET. Admission might be based on 12th-grade marks or internal university entrance exams?  . For specific details, it's recommended to check the admissions criteria of each university or college offering the course. 

In March 2025, NIMHANS is anticipated to commence admissions for the MSc in Neuroscience for the 2025 academic calendar. Generally, the application portal is made available in the early days of March every year and the application submission is commonly in April. It is better to visit NIMHANS official site on a frequent basis because it may provide more fixed dates in addition to possible new information on eligibility criteria and the application process? NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences) allows for the applications for the Masters programme in neuroscience from May or June of the academic year in question. The stages of the application process include readiness check, paperwork, and taking the entrance exam. For instance, in the case of 2025 academic year, the duration for opening of the application forms will be confirmed later. However, its trends will be almost the similar again.The application process and exams dates and notifications concerning them can be found on the official NIMHANS website and hence to avoid missing important deadlines, it is advisable to do so frequently.

Neuroscience and Neurophysiology are closely related fields within the broader discipline of neuroscience, but they focus on different aspects of the nervous system.Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses the study of the nervous system, including its structure, function, development, and diseases. Neurophysiology, on the other hand, is a subfield of neuroscience that specifically focuses on the electrical and chemical processes that govern the function of neurons and neural circuits. It explores how neurons generate and transmit electrical signals, how synaptic transmission occurs between neurons, and how these processes contribute to various physiological functions such as sensory perception, motor control, and cognition.

No, becoming a neurosurgeon typically requires completion of medical school followed by a neurosurgery residency program. While a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Neuroscience provides a strong foundation in the study of the nervous system and brain function, it alone does not qualify you to practice medicine or perform surgical procedures.While a BSc in Neuroscience can provide a solid academic background for medical school and a career in neurosurgery, it's important to keep in mind that admission to medical school is competitive, and successful completion of medical school and residency requires dedication, hard work, and perseverance.
