For Science Students

First we shall look at the career options for science students. Here we need to see for students who have taken Math and who have not.

So with math we call it PCM that is physics, chemistry and mathematics and without math is PCB same for P and C for B it is biology.

One thing you have to keep in mind that if you do not have math then you cannot go for engineering. You have to choose other fields like pharmacy.

Hence, after matriculation you should choose your combination carefully.

We will talk about best career options for both PCM students as well as PCB students.
