Science is the most popular field in terms of careers among students. Students have to choose science as a compulsory subject in their HSC if they want to pursue a career in Engineering, Medical, B.Sc., Agriculture, Dental and so on, in the combination of PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) or PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), and PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology). In this way, they learn the basics of Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, Plant and Animal Biology, or Higher Math.

Scope of Science and Science Branches

Science stocks a broad spectrum of career opportunities from an undergraduate-level degree to a doctoral-level degree. After completing 10+2 education, one can either take the traditional way, i.e., B.Sc. and M.Sc., or can also opt for a professional career such as B.Tech and MBBS.
