Top 374 Courses After 12th Science in India

Have you passed 12th standard with science stream subjects? Are you searching for the list of best courses to do after completing 12th science? If yes, this post will be of help to you. Here, I’ve compiled a list of top courses to do after 12th science. Here, readers will find PCM, PCB, PCMB, and general courses.

 

Science stream is the most popular PUC schooling stream among 10th passed students in India. It is not uncommon to see a large proportion of 10th passed students opting for science stream for their 11th and 12th class schooling.

The reason behind the popularity of science stream is that is gives students access to lucrative and diverse career opportunities. Engineering, medicine, architecture, IT – science stream is capable of giving students access to some such rewarding domains & career paths! Also check – Best scholarships after 12th class.

 

Science stream can be broadly classified into three main groups –

  1. PCM (Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics) group
  2. PCB (Physics, Chemistry & Biology) group
  3. PCM or B (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology) group

 

The above-mentioned classification is done on the basis of the subjects selected by the student. And the availability of courses after completing 12th science also depends upon a student’s group. For example, if you want to pursue MBBS course, you must have had PCB subjects or group in 11th & 12th classes. You may also check – courses after 10th, courses after 12th arts & courses after 12th commerce.
