Hi.

Yes, PCM students can apply for BA LLB and BA (Hons) through CUET-UG, but subject choice is very important.

 CUET Subjects for BA LLB (5-year integrated)

Most central universities (like DU, BHU, AMU, AU, etc.) follow this pattern:

Compulsory Subjects

1. Language (Any ONE)

   • English (recommended)

   • or Hindi / other listed languages

2. General Test (GT)  Very important for BA LLB

Optional / Domain Subjects

• ANY 2 domain subjects

• Since you are from PCM, you can choose:

  • Mathematics

  • Physics

  • Chemistry

 You do NOT need Polity or History for BA LLB if you haven't studied them in Class 12.

 Recommended CUET Combo for BA LLB (PCM student)

• English

• General Test

• Mathematics

• Physics / Chemistry

Deart Mohit If you're interested in studying cybercrime, the good news is that there are many ways to get started, depending on how deep you want to go.

Choose the kind of course you want: You can begin with a short certificate course if you're just exploring the field. These usually cover the basics—how cybercrimes happen, how investigators track them, and simple tools used in detection.

If you want something more detailed, you can go for a 6–12-month diploma in cyber security or digital forensics. And if you're planning a full-fledged career, many universities now offer B.Sc/M.Sc or B.Tech programs in Cyber Security or Forensic Science.

 Check what you need to apply:Most certificate and Diploma courses only require that you've completed your 12th class, while degree programs will need the usual graduation qualifications. You don't need to be from a Science background, but having basic computer knowledge definitely helps.

Find the right institute: You can join through well-known places like:

• National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU)
• C-DAC and CERT-In affiliated centres
• Reputed universities and training institutes
• Online platforms like Coursera or edX if you want to study at your own pace

Short ethical-hacking and digital-forensics courses are also available through private institutes.

 Admission is quite simple and usual: Some degree programs may have an entrance test, but most certificate/diploma courses don't.

What you can do after studying: Cybercrime is a fast-growing field, so there's good scope. After completing the course, people usually work as:

Cyber-crime investigators

Digital-forensics analysts

Ethical hackers

Security analysts

Cyber-law or cyber-audit assistants

If you tell me your education level and whether you're looking for a short course, diploma, or degree, I can guide you more specifically.

Hi.

It's still possible to score 50+ in Physics and Chemistry in your 12th Maharashtra board exams even if your chapters aren't fully completed. The key is strategic preparation and selective focus. Here's a detailed plan:

Step 1: Identify the High-Yield Chapters

Focus on chapters and topics that frequently appear in past papers. In Maharashtra Board 12th:

Physics High-Yield Topics

Electrostatics & Current Electricity

Magnetic Effects of Current & Magnetism

Optics (Ray Optics and Wave Optics basics)

Modern Physics (Photoelectric effect, Nuclear Physics)

Mechanics (Simple concepts, Work Energy Power, Laws of Motion)

Chemistry High-Yield Topics

Coordination Compounds (very scoring)

Surface Chemistry

Electrochemistry

Organic Reactions (Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids)

Chemical Kinetics and Equilibrium

Step 2: Use Short Notes & Formulas

Make a one-page formula sheet for physics and chemistry reactions/equations.

Focus on derivations or reactions that are directly asked. Don't spend time on long, rarely asked derivations.

Physics: Formulas for mechanics, optics, electrostatics, magnetism, modern physics.
Chemistry: Reactions, order of reactivity, p-block, d-block essentials, and common organic reaction mechanisms.

Step 3: Solve Previous Years' Board Papers

Pick last 5–10 years' questions. Maharashtra board often repeats questions with slight variations.

Solve at least 1 full paper per subject in exam conditions.

After that, focus on repeated or frequently asked questions.

Step 4: Do Selective Practice

Don't aim to finish the entire syllabus now — instead:

Physics: Solve numericals from previous exams, especially simple formula-based questions.

Chemistry: Memorize reactions and practice writing them cleanly; inorganics can be learned quickly with tables.

Step 5: Time Management

Allocate 2–3 hours per day for Physics and 2–3 hours for Chemistry.

Divide each day: 50% theory revision + 50% numericals/practice.

Step 6: Smart Exam Strategy

Attempt easier chapters first in the exam.

Write formulas and reaction equations clearly — even if you skip some parts, correct formulas fetch marks.

Don't waste time on very hard questions — move to the next.

Step 7: Quick Revision Tools

Crash course notes or NCERT summary PDFs.

YouTube last-minute tutorials: Focus on “Maharashtra Board 12th Physics/Chemistry important questions”.

Estimated Marks Strategy

If you target high-yield chapters + repeated questions:

Physics: 25–30 marks from numericals + 20 marks theory → 50+

Chemistry: 25–30 marks from inorganics/organic reactions + 20 marks theory → 50+
