BSc Environmental Science is a degree about the natural world and the problems affecting it, such as pollution, climate change, water, soil and waste. You study Biology, Chemistry and Physics from an environmental angle. It leads to further study and to work in environmental monitoring and management.
For CUET UG 2026, 6 central universities list BSc Environmental Science: CUJ, CURAJ, IGNTU, MZU, NEHU and DU. The papers asked most often are Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English and Environmental Science. The rule changes with the university. CUJ asks for any three of Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Biology, Geography/Geology and Agriculture. CURAJ asks for Physics and Chemistry plus Mathematics or Biology. IGNTU asks for Biology or Chemistry. MZU asks for English plus Biology, Biochemistry or Biotechnology. NEHU asks for English plus Environmental Studies or the General Aptitude Test.
Most of these expect Class 12 Science. Choosing Physics, Chemistry and Biology or Mathematics keeps you eligible at the widest range of universities.
