Most students tend to opt for science courses due to the wide array of opportunities available in the Science Stream. Given the vast options available in the science field it can be classified into 2 broad categories namely Pure Sciences and Applied Sciences. Science courses like other fields, too have an Umbrella of courses comprising of sub – categories such as Pure Medical, Paramedical, Non – medical courses such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computer courses. Although Business Administration and Law are non – medical courses they are other possible courses that students tend to overlook as they are not related to science. In this article we will be exploring the popular courses after 12th Science with their respective options so read on!
As if the already mentioned options are not enough; within these courses you also have several options to choose from, “just great, isn’t this confusing enough!” is how most students feel at the end of every term.
