I am a class 12th student with PCB & don't want to be a doctor. Can you suggest some other courses that I can pursue after 12th?

Hello Dear!Gone are the days when students pursuing PCB in class 12 could only think about Medicine as a career option. Courses after class 12 Biology are not just limited to M. B. S these days. If you have studied Biology in classes 11 & 12, there are ample career opportunities available to not just explore the subject, but also to pursue a career in the medical and paramedical fields which are well recognized and well paid.
