Well it's upto you whether you should take PCM or not but here I am going to tell you about my choice which I think may help you. I was always interested in Science and thought about making cool stuffs solving problems of real world but never scored very good in PCM. I was able to score average marks in Physics and Chemistry and just passing marks in Maths. This was my condition because I cannot cram just before exam and print the routine questions into the answer sheet. But I was, and am able to understand concepts to deeper levels and enjoy the beauty of Science. This happens with me even in Maths. I am able to solve questions and visualize concepts yet I am unable to score well because I forget formulas (this may be because of lack of practice but I don't care because I understand the concept and am happy about it instead of pointless rote learning by solving a question again and again). PCM made me happy. I was refused Science stream in my school ( just because of prelims even though I knew that my board exams were good but back then I had to sit in commerce till the result) so I had to change my school to get PCM. I struggled a lot with PCM especially Maths but now I am a student of mechanical engineering scoring decent marks in all subjects and average marks in Maths. Just remember Every one gets off track while chasing their goals don't be ashamed to get back on it. Don't think that if you waste some time getting you're gonna fail. It's the attitude of getting back on track that makes people successful. One reason I didn't score well in math was that I was afraid of the fact that I lack full understanding of a previous topic but now I realize that it's a kind of illusion in Maths. Mathematics is so rich and infinite that it's impossible to learn it systematically, and if you wait to master one topic before moving to next, you'll never get anywhere. Instead, you'll have tendrils of knowledge extending far from your comfort zone. Then you can later backfill from these tendrils and extend your comfort zone. I Hope that I'm able to give you some insights to consider while making your decision. Good Luck!

There are some disadvantages of PCM (pulse code modulation) which are given below, The PCM (pulse code modulation) requires large band widthas compared to analog system. Encoding, decoding and quantizing circuit of PCM is very complex. Low noise susceptibility allows PCM signals to transmit farther than analog signals without signal degradation, information loss and distortion.

Hi, See, I would suggest you should go for field of your interest. I chose PCM because Science intrigued me. Then I opted for engineering and I don't deal with Science anymore. Career options in both the fields are innumerable. Commerce: you have to work with finances and taxes. Career prospects during recession are better than engineers. You can do CA and earn lots. Science: you can go for engineering. Then you can go for Masters in Science fields, research. You can earn lots if your research is good. You can be a professor. So, it's upto you.

As per me, PCM has more advantages. Being a science with maths student, you can apply for all those streams where a commerce student can apply (leaving 1-2 things) and apart from grabbing commerce opportunities, you can also grab opportunities in the engineering field. In short, you can have both things in your hand and more opportunities than a commerce student. However, if you are specific in what you want to do, for example, you want to become a banker then you can choose commerce, but your field will be narrow. Always try to make your field broad.

Advantage: 1. If you want some technical knowledge, then you can do it here 2. You can create stuffs 3. You can use your creativity in problem solving product 4. Good engineer demand is always high 5. Too many options available after B.Tech n 12th. To choose disadvantages 1. You have to study more ( except CA WHERE YOU HAVE TO STUDY ALOT) 2. You can't use your market skills 3. Too many College with no value except mass production factory 4. Placement are getting hard (Except for one who are interested in engineering)

Well, it's all simple. If you choose maths with physics, you are more technically advanced, with commerce you are more better in finance field, your choice should be yours, well better opportunities are with PCM. Good luck.

Hello, Choose PCM, if you are studious and want to do B.Tech or Science courses in future. PCM keeps all your options open for future. Commerce with Maths limits your options in future. But, if you are good at Maths, go for commerce. All the best.

If you choose PCM then you can go for B.Tech. But if your ultimate goal is to go for MBA, I would suggest you to go for some other courses like B.Com or BA (English).

Well, advantages are more than disadvantages. After Science, you will be able to choose any field and can opt for any degree. And, the mathematics in PUC Science is of a higher level. The only disadvantage as I think is that it will be a tougher Maths, if you are not good in playing with number in mathematics.
