Ans. No. BSc Botany at TNB College requires 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Mathematics is not a mandatory subject for Botany honours admission. OFSS Bihar merit is calculated on the basis of Biology-stream subjects. However, students with Mathematics may have a slight advantage for certain postgraduate courses or research-oriented programmes in plant biotechnology and bioinformatics after graduation. Students opting for MSc Plant Biotechnology at IITs via IIT JAM Biological Sciences should also be aware that some JAM paper sections test basic Mathematics and Chemistry concepts alongside the core Biology syllabus, making a broader science foundation at 10+2 level beneficial.
