    Hello!
    This period of time many students are little bit of confused about their Stream selection. Even I was confused too.
    As you have mentioned above, that you want to pursue Aerospace engineering. Then go for PCM.
    We all know that, Opting for PCMB Will give you lots of opportunities in different fields. But Just think for a moment, can you handle Maths and Biology together.
    They both are Different fields and handling both of them might be a burden then. I'm not demotivating you, But I'm telling you the truth.
    Biology is vast subject and it requires lots of thing to remember and On the other side maths needs lots of practice each and ever

    go for pcm cause many students face a lot of problem during board exam and the level of mathematics' exam is going high every year do it would be better to take pcm and since aerospace engineering doesn't need biology at all

    If you are sure that you are going to take aerospace engineering than you should go for PCM.
    Taking PCMB will only increase your workload so i would suggest you to take PCM.
    Best of luck!
