    A gap year following your 2019 12th passing enables you to enroll in BSc Honours zoology, botany and biotechnology programs at universities. Maximal educational establishments provide entry to students who took academic breaks if they fulfill their admission requirements. To enroll in university courses most institutions demand at least 50-60% marks from candidates who studied biology together with chemistry and physics in their 12th standard. Different universities including Delhi University together with Banaras Hindu University and Pune University provide these courses that cost between INR 5,000 and INR 50,000 annually.

    Yes, you can pursue a B.Sc. Honours in Zoology, Botany, or Biotechnology after passing your 12th in 2019, even if you prepared for NEET, as these programs generally don't require NEET scores for admission. 

    To be eligible for these B.Sc. Honours programs, you typically need to have passed your 12th standard (or equivalent) in a Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) as core subjects.
