Are your students wondering about the best Science course to pursue after the 12th? Also, are they tired of looking for a comprehensive guide that can help them make the right decision?

Well, we understand their dilemma and therefore we thought of making a list of all the best Science courses after class 12th PCM or PCB which students can pursue. 

Often students have a ‘narrow perception’ of courses and career opportunities after class 12th Science, limiting them to either medical or engineering fields. But here in this article, we have dealt with a wide variety of exciting courses and career options. Here, you can find all your answers right in one place.

So, without wasting more time, let’s dive into it.

Topics covered

Before moving forward, I believe that you are aware of the fact that students in the Science stream have two subject combination options: 1. Science with PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), and 2. Science with PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). Here, we shall be discussing the best courses for students who have opted for the PCB combination in 12th.

It is a stereotype that students with PCB combinations are restricted to a career in the medical field. But, here we are breaking this stereotype by providing you with the list of best courses after the 12th Science PCB that you can pursue:
