BSc Geology is a degree in the study of the Earth: rocks, minerals, fossils, earthquakes and how the planet changed over time. It leads to further study in earth sciences or to work such as mining, surveying and environmental studies.
For CUET UG 2026, 9 central universities list BSc Geology: BBAU, CTUAP, CUK, CUTN, MZU, Nagaland University, NEHU, RGU and DU. The papers asked most often are Chemistry, Geography, Physics, Mathematics, English and Biology. There is no single pattern. CTUAP asks for Geology (paper 313). CUK asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology or Mathematics, and CUTN for Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. MZU asks for English plus Chemistry, and RGU asks for any one of Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics. DU asks for Physics and Chemistry plus a third subject and a language.
Several of these universities, such as RGU and CUK, expect Physics and Chemistry in Class 12. If you take Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology for CUET, you stay eligible for the largest number of options.
