since you are student of science you can take botany and any other subject of science which are related to agriculture or forestry.
but one thing to be kept in mind that the success rate is very less with these subjects and generally students opt for subjects like public administration, philosphy, sociology, language as these are easy to cover.
So you can take decsion according to your own interest. As est performance comes only through selecting those sujects in which you are comfortale.

hi..
since you are a science take up any subject related to your stream..
may be you can choose botany,zoology,chemistry or mathematics.

good luck
