As you want to get the syllabus of Bachelor of Science in Biology of Banaras Hindu University so here it is for you:

1st Year:
Section A:
Properties and origin of life
Diversity of Life
Purpose and principles of classification of organisms
Major groups of living systems

Breakdown of carbohydrates –glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation

Section B:
Microbial diversity: Salient features of bacteria and viruses
Plant diversity : Salient features (life cycle excluded) of algae, fungi, bryophytes,
pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms
Plant Physiology
Plant-water relations: absorption and movement of water, transpiration
Photosynthesis : Light and dark reactions
Effects of auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene on plant growth
Ecology
Ecosystem : Components, types, flow of matter and energy in ecosystem
