    In order to take admission in one of the good institute like LPU's the eligibility is 60% in 10+2 (with English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths/ Biology) which means you may skip mathematics. But if you have strong liking for the subject, then you may proceed because Mathematics always helps you, it is not going to provide any harm. LPU is a university which always start the syllabus from the scratch because of diversity of students it has. So, it all depends upon the liking of the subject.

    Yes, you can go to pharmacy after class 12th by taking Maths i.e. PCM or by dropping Maths and taking PCB that completely depends upon your area of interest. If you don't like Maths, then I will suggest you to take biology in place of Maths.

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.
