    Take Maths. If by chance you aren't interested in pharmacy, then you will have other options also. Even though, if you all take Maths, it will help you, because you would have to study it again in B Pharmacy. Also, if you plan MBA after B.Pharmacy, maths will be of great help.

    If you are interested in Pharmacy stream, then maths is not needed, if you choose Maths, as your main subject, you are unable to take Pharmacy. So, choose the PCB in +1 to go to Pharma field.

    No, you have to choose PCB in class12th. You can choose among:
    D-pharmacy (Diploma in pharmacy)
    B-pharmacy (Bachelor in pharmacy).

    If you want to take pharmacy after class 12th, then will have to take PCB as your subject. If you think you can manage Maths and bio together, then you can take Maths as well with bio. But, Since your goals are clear, it will be better not to divert your attention.

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. 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.
