    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.

    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

    You can do B.Pharm and after that, you can become a drug inspector in the government sector. Further, you can pursue M.Pharm or Ph.D.

    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.
