The exam is for offering admission into science courses like physics, chemistry, botany at the graduate level and also pharmacy course at the same level. The qualification for seeking a seat in these two types of courses is a plus-two with a minimum pass percentage of 50.
The subjects in the plus-two level should be maths, physics, chemistry (PCM) or physics, chemistry and biology (PCB). Entry into various courses needs a good knowledge in the above mentioned subjects at plus-two level. Candidates seeking admission into courses like biology, botany, biotechnology must have PCB as subjects at plus-two level, while aspirants for courses like physics, maths must have PCM as subjects in the same level.
