Hello Vinod,

Unfortunately since you are a BA student and the institute you are talking about is IIT, as you have already seen the eligibility is Geology for three years/six semesters and any two subjects amongst Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biological Science. Hence I am afraid there is no other way to join the course ,you may have to do BSc degree in Geology.Most of the other universities like Jadavpur University, Andhra University, Anna University etc have mentioned eligibility criteria as BSc in Geology or equivalent.Hence you may have to check with the respective department whether BA in Geography is accepted for the MSc programme. However there is one option for you which is integrated MSc Geology in IIT. Its a 5 year course though.

Hope it helps.

Dear students!

I hope you are doing well! And dear as we know competition is increasing day by day so that cutoff for the exam will also increasing. So with this Marks getting admission is not possible because your Marks is too low and also you didn't mention your category so it is also difficult for me to tell you exact about your admission and above details are as best of my knowledge. And the cutoff for bhu exam vary between 250 to 180 for general category. I hope answer will clear all your doubts.

Thank you and feel free to ask.

Hello there,

BSc Geology is an applied science so you need to undergo a systematic learning of basic science subjects i.e. physics, chemistry mathematics and biology. So it you sit for any entrance exam you there will be questions from physics chemistry and mathematics and biology.

But there are also many top colleges in take admission in BSC geology on merit based.

Good luck!!

As of now, there is no upper age limit for NEET and so even if you do not have Chemistry or Physics in your B.Sc, because NEET is written after your 12th, if you have studied Physics, Chemistry and Biology as your core subjects in your 12th you can appear for NEET. And So to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th.

Hey there,

The cut off generally exceeds 200 plus with reference to your category according to previous year as the competition is quite intense. You mentioned the score as 126 which makes it highly unlikely to get admission.
