Recently i have passed the HS EXAM & i am a student of W.B.C.H.S.E Board. I want to continue my study in B.Sc. with biology. But now i am confused about the better option for me between Zoology or Anthropology. Please tell me which subject is best for my bright future?

You are eligible for both courses i.e., Zoology and Anthropology.

The differences between these courses are given below :

Zoology :

* This graduation course is of 3 years and the eligibility is the candidate should pass 10+2 or equivalent exam from a recognized board. Zoology mainly deals with the animal kingdom, embryology, evolution, classification, habits and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. There is a great future ahead of this course. The candidate can get the opportunities like Clinical Business associate, Online Tutoring, Nutrition Specialist, Medical representative.

Anthropology :

* This graduation course is also of 3 years. The eligibility is the candidate should pass 10+2 or equivalent exam. Anthropology is mainly related to the social and cultural developments in human beings. The course deals with both physical and emotional aspects of human development. They can find job opportunities in museums, universities and government sectors etc. There many opportunities for these candidates.

However, the decision of choosing the best course is limited to you. If you are interested in the biology subjects then you can opt for zoology. If you are interested to study about human development and their evolution, you can go for Anthropology.

Zoology and Anthropology, though seem to be a related field they are very much different.

Anthropology concerns only about the study of Humans and society.

but Zoology deals with all animal life forms.

It depends on your field of interest to take which subject for BSc.

Both have equal opportunities. Also for higher studies.

Zoology is the study of animals and its behavior, structure, physiology. Anthropology is the study of human kind like human societies, cultures and their developments. You can choose between the two these two are separate in nature. It is up to the individual to decide the course, for somebody the first course will be interesting and for others the second, so you have to take the decision.

Zoology is better than Anthropology as a course for the B.Sc level as the scope for Zoology is far more than that of Anthropology.
Also the chances of getting a job is higher in case of Zoology so it is best for you to pursue the course of Zoology among both of these options.
The decision is up to you but the best option for you is to study the course of B.Sc in Zoology.

Is it better to take bsc anthropology honors after bsc zoology?

Please tell I am confused what can a take anthropology or zoolgy
