What is the full form of B.Sc?

1) B.Sc: Bachelor of Science

The full form of BSC is Bachelor of Science. It is derived from the latin word Baccalaureus Scientiae. A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for completing a three-year course in the field of science and technology. This degree is awarded in multiple subjects of science. In India, you can complete B.Sc degree in many subjects like Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, Information Technology, Physics, Chemistry, Nursing, Social Science, Agriculture, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and many other subjects.

In order to meet BSc eligibility criteria candidates should clear Class 12th/PUC in Science stream with minimum 50% – 60% aggregate marks from a recognised board. It may be noted that the minimum percentage required for BSc admissions may vary depending on the policy of a university/ college in which a candidate is applying. 

The first university to admit a student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. It is a popular academic degree course among the science students after passing the 12th class examination. This course duration can vary from country to country. It is a three-year course in India and a five-year course in Argentina. After the completion of a BSc degree, candidates can opt to pursue Master of Science (MSc) or even secure admission in a professional job-oriented course.

2) BSC: Base Station Controller

BSc is a combination of hardware and software that is used to provide control functions and physical links between the mobile services switching center (MSC) and Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). A base station controller (BSC) is a critical mobile network component that controls one or more BTS, also known as base stations or cell sites. Key BSC functions include radio network management (such as radio frequency control), BTS handover management and call setup. Often perceived as the intelligence behind the BTS, the BSC serves as a mediator between base stations and the MSCs, while providing voice pathways for mobile phones and other compatible devices, such as a land line or the Internet.
