QUESTION12 What is the basic difference between B.Sc. (Pass Course ) Physics and B.Sc. (H) Physics?
ANSWER12
  • B.Sc (H) is much more specialized as compared to the B.Sc (General) degree.
  • In B.Sc (H) a student develop advanced theoretical and research skills and in B.Sc one gets foundation knowledge required for a science-based career. 
  • In respect of job prospects, the B.Sc (H) is considered more productive and beneficial than a normal B.Sc (General) degree, and therefore, employers often give preference to B.Sc (H)) students over the B.Sc  (General) students.
