No, I am sorry to say that after completion of your above mentioned course as there is no such provision for it.

You cannot jump from one specialization to another after your graduation, therefore, i am sorry to say that you cannot opt for M.Sc in Zoology after completion of your B.Sc in Biotechnology rather your could very much opt for M.Sc in the same field you opted for your graduation.
