Hy,

Yes, you can typically apply for an M.Sc. in Horticulture if you have completed a B.Sc. in Botany . Many universities accept students with a background in Botany for their Horticulture programs, as the foundational knowledge in plant sciences is relevant to the field.

Key Points to Consider:

  1. Eligibility Criteria : Check the specific eligibility criteria of the universities you’re interested in, as some may have particular requirements or preferred undergraduate degrees.

  2. Entrance Exams : Some universities may require you to pass an entrance exam or an interview as part of the admission process.

  3. Course Content : Review the syllabus of the M.Sc. in Horticulture to ensure that you’re comfortable with the subjects offered.

  4. Contact Admission Offices : If you have any doubts, it’s a good idea to contact the admissions office of the institutions you are considering to confirm your eligibility.

If you're passionate about horticulture and have a solid foundation in botany, you should be well-prepared for the transition!

Hello There,

The eligibility criteria for M.Sc. in Horticulture typically include:

1. Educational Qualification: A Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, or a related field. Some universities may accept candidates with a degree in Botany, Biotechnology, or Plant Science.

2. Minimum Marks: A minimum of 50-60% aggregate marks in the qualifying degree (varies by institution).

3. Entrance Exams: Many universities/institutes require candidates to clear entrance exams such as ICAR AIEEA PG (All India Entrance Examination for Admission Postgraduate) or university-specific entrance tests.

4. Age Limit: Generally, no age limit, but some universities may specify an upper age limit (e.g., ICAR specifies 30 years for general candidates, with relaxations for reserved categories). The exact eligibility criteria can vary depending on the university.

Hope this information helps. Good Luck!
