Hi There,

Interesting question.

I am sure you are aware of the general B.Sc, which is a 3 years undergraduate course post 12th Science.
One learns the general principles of science in this particular course.

In comparison to a plain B.Sc, A B.Sc (H), will also stress on basic science methodology, only addition is that you have to submit a dissertation. A dissertation is like a project or a summary of what you have learnt in the entire year of graduation. In this course, the student not only knows the theoretical aspects but are also well versed with the practical aspect of the subject too. The dissertation is the key to your degree. Mind you id the professor is unhappy with the project, you may be asked to submit another study. This makes you a master of the subject.

A B.Sc Applied science is an addition to a B.Sc Honors. In applied sciences, one not only studies science related subjects but also its application part. Like in Honors, you just have to summarize what you study, but in Applied science, you basically apply the principles, just like a technology course.
So you are also practically oriented in terms of application of the scientific principles.

This course though requires a minimum 4 years to complete, but at the end of the degree, the student is industrially ready.

Though in India, very few University provides a B.Sc Applied and a B.Sc (H) course.
In Mumbai only a general B.Sc is available.

Here comes your choice and your decision making capacity.
If you are ready for hardcore practical and application based in your Graduation course, then a B.Sc (H) or Applied B.Sc is your course. And mind you for that, you would have to leave Mumbai and be ready to face hostel life.

Hope this helps you in making a sound decision.
In-case of confusion, better would be to know your potentials, through an Aptitude tests and then make a sound choice.

Wish you good luck.............

The B.Sc

The basic difference between BSc (Hons), BSc Applied, and BSc lies in their focus and purpose.

A BSc (Hons) degree program typically emphasizes theoretical knowledge and research in a particular field of science. These programs are often designed for students who want to pursue advanced studies in a specific field or pursue a career in research or academia. bloxd io

On the other hand, BSc Applied degree programs focus more on the practical application of scientific concepts and theories to real-world problems. These programs are often designed for students who want to enter the workforce immediately after graduation, or pursue a career in a technical or applied field.

A regular BSc degree program offers a broad-based education in science, covering a range of subjects, without any specific emphasis on research or application. Students who are interested in pursuing a career in science but are unsure of which field to specialize in may opt for this program.

Which program you should choose for a 3-year graduation depends on your career aspirations and interests. If you are interested in pursuing advanced studies in a particular field or a career in research or academia, then a BSc (Hons) program may be a good fit for you. If you are more interested in the practical application of scientific concepts and want to enter the workforce immediately after graduation, then a BSc Applied program may be a better choice. If you are not yet sure which field you want to specialize in, then a regular BSc program may be a good starting point.
