Mathematics and Biology entry routes lead to different programmes. The 2026 brochure permits PCB for B.Pharm., B.E. Environmental and Sustainability Engineering and M.Sc. Biological Sciences; the latter two require mathematics proficiency at Class 10 level. Students admitted to M.Sc. Biological Sciences through PCB can later apply for a dual degree only in B.E. Environmental and Sustainability Engineering or B.Pharm. Check all qualifying-subject conditions.
