BSc Zoology is a science degree about animals: how they are built, how they live, how they evolve and how they fit into ecosystems. It leads to a master's degree, research, wildlife and fisheries work, and teaching.
According to the CUET UG 2026 data, 9 central universities list BSc Zoology, including BHU, GGU, Nagaland University and the University of Delhi (DU). Biology is the paper asked most often. Chemistry, Physics, English and Mathematics also appear.
Most universities want Biology. GGU, CU Kashmir and Nagaland University list only Biology. Mizoram University asks for English and Biology (Biochemistry or Biotechnology also count). North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) asks for English plus Biology or the General Aptitude Test. BHU asks for Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and DU asks for the same three plus a language. RGU accepts any one of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics.
Tip: Biology, Chemistry and Physics together cover almost every rule here. Most universities also expect Biology in Class 12.
