Hi,

If you want to pursue M.Sc. in Zoology, then percentage required for admission can vary from university to university. There is no fixed percentage across all colleges but most universities have set a minimum of 50% to 55% marks in your B.Sc. degree, especially in your Zoology major or a related subject like in Delhi University and similar central universities may ask for at least 55% for general category students. For reserved categories like OBC/SC/ST, the required percentage is often lower around 45%–50%. State universities or other colleges may also accept students with just 50% aggregate in B.Sc., depending on seat availability.

Some top universities take admission through entrance exams like CUET-PG, or through university-specific exams. In such cases, the entrance exam score becomes more important, but still, you must meet the minimum qualifying marks for graduation.

Also, many universities give preference to students who studied Zoology as an Honours or Core subject, not as a generic subject. There’s no fixed percentage across all colleges. Different colleges ask for different marks .
