    Hi,
    Medical is not the only thing for PCB students. You can opt for Bachelor's degree in microbio or biotech or opt for physio and pharmacy. You can even take up Bachelor in PCB, and do a specialization in any of the one which fascinates you the most, then Master in the same. Thank you.

    You can go for B.Sc honors in applied science. But as you are in 12th I will suggest you to go for KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) exam that has been scheduled in the month of November as you can go directly in the field of research.

    Having PCB in 10+2 doesn't limit students to doctor courses only. You can get admission for courses such as B.Sc Biotechnology, B.tech Biotechnology, B.Sc microbiology, biochemistry, medical Science, physiotherapy, nursing courses like ANM and GNM.
    If you have computer Science or computer applications in your 10+2, you can go for courses like B.Sc CS, BCA, or a diploma course related to the subject.
    Now the most wide field is Pharmacy. Almost every Science college offer this course. Also, it has a wide scope. Major companies like Himalaya and Ajanta keep recruiting young and eligible pharmacy graduates. However, choice of su

    It is better to go for B.Sc in agriculture or B.Sc in horticulture as there is a lot of demand for these courses.

Heyyy riya
Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
