    Hello Naresh,
    Purely medical courses like MBBS Pharmacy and BDS does not have the compulsory requirement of mathematics, but if you are good at it, then use your skills to score more in class 12th exams, so that it will help you in maintaining the rankings. Also, Physics is the compulsory subject for medical which has a lot of applications of mathematics. So, you must have the knowledge of Maths.

    Maths is not an essential subject for pharmacy. But, keep the tracks open for yourself. Maths would always help you incase you change your mind later. I would suggest you to have maths at least as an optional subject. Rest is your choice!

    It is not necessary to take Maths for pharmacy.
    If you take maths in extra, you would be eligible for engineering courses also.

    You can take Maths, but it is not necessary for pharmacy.
    You should either have PCM or PCB group in class 12th.

    Take Physics,Chemistry,Biology.Math is irrelevant as far as pharmacy is concerned.
    for additional subject you can go for Physical education as taking another heavy subject will disturb you as you need to focus on the main disciplines subsequently keeping the other subjects upto the mark too.
    Good luck!!

Heyyy riya
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.
