BSc Biochemistry is a degree about the chemistry of living things: how proteins, sugars, fats and DNA work inside cells. It connects Biology and Chemistry, and leads to further study and to work in laboratories, medicine and research.
For CUET UG 2026, 3 central universities list BSc Biochemistry: CURAJ, NEHU and DU. The papers asked most often are Biology, Physics and Chemistry, with English, the General Aptitude Test and Hindi also listed. CURAJ asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and requires Class 12 Science with Biology. DU asks for Chemistry and Biology, plus Physics or Mathematics, plus one language. NEHU asks for English plus Biology, Biochemistry or the General Aptitude Test.
CURAJ asks for at least 50% aggregate in Class 12, and NEHU's rule refers only to the stream concerned. Chemistry, Biology and Physics cover the paper rule at CURAJ and DU.
