Hi.

Dont worry you have so much time to score good marks.

follow some strategy

  • Physical Chemistry: Similar to physics, create a master list of all formulas from chapters like Solutions, Chemical Kinetics, and Electrochemistry. Practice applying these formulas to textbook problems.
  • Inorganic Chemistry: Read the textbook thoroughly for this part, focusing on trends and important points (e.g., p-block elements).

Yes you can do BA.

  1. Identify your target universities and the specific BA programs you are interested in.

Hi.

No, you cannot take admission in SSCBS because maths is compulsory.

The main courses offered by SSCBS are:
  • BMS  (Bachelor of Management Studies)
  • BBA (FIA)  (Bachelor of Business Administration in Financial Investment Analysis)
  • B.Sc. (Hons) Computer Science 
For all these courses, passing Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in Class 12 is a compulsory eligibility requirement.
