How can I take a BSc in biology from IGNOU?

You can apply for the Bachelor's Degree Programme (BDP) at IGNOU which includes the BSc programme. One such course is LSE or Life Science. You need to select elective courses in Life Science first.

• IGNOU has a credit-based grading system. This requires you to complete 32 credits in a single academic year. This totals 96 credits in 3 years.

• For the first year 16 credits will be from foundation courses. Other credits will be from your elective courses.

• For a major degree you need to have 48 credits from the subject you wish to major in.

• In the 3rd year it’s decided whether you have a BSc (zoo) or BSc (bot). This depends on the choice of your subjects.

• BSc in Biology also required lab courses. These constitute about 25% of your marks and attendance is compulsory.

• Take a second elective from the rest (maths, physics, chemistry) such that it carries at least 8 credits.
