    Well, not necessarily you have to take Maths for pharmacy after class 12th. If you want to do pharmacy, then mathematics is just not required as a compulsory subject, you can take PCB. But, with Maths you will have other options open too, if in case you need them. Choice is yours. Good luck.

    Hello Naresh,
    Maths is not the requirement for pharmacy since it is related to the medical field. So, go with it.
    All the best.

    You can take maths as you can go for pharmacy after class 12th maths/bio. But taking biology is a better option.

    If your final decision is for going towards pharmacy, Maths will be of no use in that field. However, if that interests you can opt for it. But, again think because the more you take burden the more you feel difficulty in moving forward. If Pharmacy is what you want just stick with pure PCB. Hope it helps.

    Yes, it is a good college for forensic science. If you want to do Pharmacy, then Maths is not required. You should take Biology. This will help you in entrance exams. And, prepare best for entrance examination of various exams.

    Pharmacy is basically a biological and chemistry thing. Taking Maths would be an off track decision. B Pharmacy is completely based on chemical composition and effects of drugs on human body. It would be best for you to take biology.

    To opt pharmacy as your graduation course it is not compulsory to take maths in class 12th. You are eligible for this course if you did not opt maths as a subject in class 12th.

    Surely, maths is not that tough, it just needs a little bit of attention daily.

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.
