BSc Life Sciences is a degree about living things: plants, animals, cells and how they work. You usually study Botany, Zoology, Chemistry and related subjects, and the degree leads to further study and to work in laboratories, research and healthcare.
For CUET UG 2026, 4 central universities list BSc Life Sciences: BBAU, CUJ, Pondicherry University and DU. The papers asked most often are Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Hindi. All four use Physics, Chemistry and Biology as the core. CUJ asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology (or Biological Studies, Biotechnology or Biochemistry). Pondicherry University lists Biology, Chemistry and Physics. BBAU asks for one language paper plus all three of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. DU also asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology plus one language.
BBAU and Pondicherry University both ask for at least 50% in Class 12, and CUJ asks for 55% for General and EWS candidates. Physics, Chemistry and Biology covers the CUET rule at all four universities.
