B.Sc. (General) provides a broad foundation in the sciences by combining two or three science subjects along with skill-based and interdisciplinary courses. It's less specialized than B.Sc. (Hons.) but allows more flexibility across science disciplines.
Students typically choose two or three of the following disciplines (depending on the college):
Physics
Chemistry
Mathematics
Computer Science
Botany
Zoology
Environmental Science
Life Sciences
Core Science Subjects:
You study these throughout all 3 years, with a balanced distribution.
Practical/Lab Work:
Associated with the science subjects chosen — labs are a regular part of the curriculum.
AECC (Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses):
Typically Environmental Studies and English/MIL Communication
SEC (Skill Enhancement Courses):
Includes courses like computer applications, data analysis, scientific writing, etc.
GE (Generic Electives):
Electives from other fields — you could explore a subject outside science, such as Economics or Philosophy (availability varies by college).
VAC (Value-Added Courses):
Topics related to ethics, sustainable development, or interdisciplinary studies
