    If you are very certain that you want to be a pharmacist, you should enrol in the medical stream or the PCB subjects (biology, physics, and chemistry). Math is not required, but you can take it in addition to other subjects if you choose to. If you think that maths kan make your intermediate results shine even more than go for it not necessary though.

    If you are really interested in Pharmacy and want to make career in it, you shouldn't opt for Maths. As the syllabus is tough and different, you should take different subjects related to Pharmacy to strengthen your concepts rather than wondering about Maths.

    Opting Maths is a good thing even if you don't have Maths in your further studies because even in pharmacy also you will have Maths for one semester I think.

    It is not compulsory to take mathematics as a candidate for a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy must have completed 10+2 with the courses Physics Chemistry Math (PCM), Physics Chemistry Biology (PCB), or Physics Chemistry Maths & Biology. Additionally, one must get a D.Pharma or pass a Pre-University Course with at least 50% in Biology and Mathematics (Diploma in Pharmacy). .

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.
