Yes, a child who has passed Class 12 at the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) with subjects such as English, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Data Entry may be qualified to take the PUCET (Panjab University Common Entrance Test) for B.Sc. Zoology under specific conditions:
That child must have completed Class 12 from an accredited board, and as NIOS is an accredited board, Punjab University will accept the candidate's Class 12 diploma.
The three main topics needed for a B.Sc. in Zoology are typically chemistry, biology, and physics. Thus the child must satisfies the prerequisite for basic subjects since he/she studied biology, physics, and chemistry in class 12.
A minimum of 50% on the Class 12 test is usually required by Punjab University; however, this may differ significantly based on the category, such as reserved categories.
The precise minimum percentage required for a B.Sc. in Zoology may vary from year to year, thus the child should confirm it while applying to PUCET.
Moreover, although data entry is not one of the traditional science stream subjects needed for a B.Sc. in Zoology, it has no bearing on a candidate's eligibility as long as they have taken the essential core courses (physics, chemistry, and biology) and meet all other eligibility requirements.
