    Yes, with PCB, you can do:
    MBA
    Law
    Biotechnology
    B.Sc in life sciences or environment Science or any core subject.
    IPM course from IIM very promising
    A BA in any subject from DU can also go for pharmacy, physiotherapy, Ayurveda which is BAMS though all these would be somehow a doctor only.

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.
