10+2 Science Study after 10th (Part-13)

Science stream is a very important choice among 10th standard passed students in India. Students who want to pursue pure and applied science professional courses in the future may choose this stream. 

Science Stream Groups

When it comes to Science stream, there are two main groups within it. They are given below :-

  • Biology Group (Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main subjects)
  • Mathematics Group (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects)
A student may choose any one of the above mentioned groups or pursue both of them at the same time. The choice has to be made by the student.

The Mathematics group is generally known as the A group and Biology group is known as B group.


Science Stream Subject
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Mathematics
  • Biology
  • English
  • Compulsory 
  • Optional
Among the above mentioned subjects, Physics, Chemistry, English and Mathematics/Biology are compulsory subjects. Students have to choose an optional subject other than them. Usually, availability of such optional subjects may vary from one board to another and from one state board to another. Usually, the optional subjects are- computer science, Sanskrit, Punjabi, regional languages etc.

PROFESSIONAL COURSES AFTER 12TH SCIENCE


Professional courses available after 12th can roughly be classified into three types- applied science courses, pure science courses and other courses. Such courses are available in Diploma as well as Bachelor’s Degree formats. 

Course selection is influenced by the group a student has had in 11th and 12th classes. Based on those groups, some of the well known professional courses available are-
