    If you want to go in pharmacy line, then it is not compulsory to take Math in class 12th. You should pursue with chemistry and Biology.

    Hi there!
    As you are interested in Pharmacy post your 12th, so maths is not compulsory for that, you should take PCM in 11th & 12th. Hope you got your answer. Regards, Rajdeep Sinha.

    Maths is not required for pharmacy, but you should know at least the basics of Maths, so that you could calculate the stocks, their prices and cost of production. Good luck with your education.

    It is not necessary that you choose Maths for doing pharmacy. You should go with Biology as a subject. But, remember one thing, before choosing it you like it more than whatever you are leaving. Best of luck.

    It is not mandatory for you to take maths, PCB will do. Pharmacy mainly requires PCB subjects and mathematics won't be necessary.
    All the best!

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.
