Whether you are interested in science in general or are just curious about how things work, you’d probably be in the science stream in your high school. It might even be that you joined the science stream not because of interest or curiosity – only for practical reasons like job prospects or your strengths. Whatever the reason might be, other than the B.Tech courses everyone else is fighting over, Bachelor of Science courses are an equally good option too.
In this blog, we find out more about BSc courses and everything related to them, so stick around if you want to know more.
BSc or Bachelor of Science is a 3-year undergraduate program that teaches students about various science subjects of their choosing in greater depth than at high school. This core focuses more on the theoretical and practical aspects of applied sciences than, for example, an Engineering course, which is more technical.
That doesn’t, however, mean that they are any worse though, as BSc students are primarily eligible for a host of jobs that engineers are too. Take a look at the table below to get a general overview of BSc courses that can be found in India.

Like most other undergraduate courses that are offered anywhere in the world, BSc courses can be of various types too. This is in regard to the mode they are offered in. Let us take a look at all types of BSc courses now.
These courses are the most common because they are also the most comprehensive. 3 years of physical classes prepare students to handle anything in their specialization with ease.
These classes require less physical attendance and are ideal for working individuals. They can be accelerated courses or take more time than full-time BSc courses. Part-time courses also combine the elements of both online and correspondence courses to ensure no student is left lacking in their education.
These are taken in the distance mode, with the possibility of the students residing in another state or even country. A great way to bridge distances for quality education.
Since BSc courses are offered in almost every subject with a scientific backbone in them, it is almost impossible to list all the subjects. However, we have tried to include some of the more common ones, including the ones offered at Cheran SMS CAS in the list below:
