THE SCIENCE STREAM 

The science stream is often preferred by those who are aspiring to pursue professional courses after 12th. The primary subjects in science stream are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science along with other subjects. English is compulsory along with a language subject (MIL) of choice. There are also practical lab sessions along with theory.

WHY STUDY SCIENCE

Opting for science stream opens up both medical and non-medical career options, including Medical Science, Engineering, and other interdisciplinary careers. If interested in a medical field, you will have to include Biology along with Physics and Chemistry as your core subject combination, while for engineering, you will have to replace biology for mathematics or computer science as the core subject. However, there are also other career options including either two or only one of the science subjects. It is hence better to decide your future path at this stage only and choose the relevant subjects accordingly.

SUBJECT COMBINATIONS AND CAREER SCOPES OF CLASS 11

Once you learn about your preferences and interests in the subjects you want to study further, there is no need to rethink how to get Science stream in Class 11. CBSE offers the main four Science subjects everywhere where you have to choose four subjects, with English being a mandatory subject and an optional subject per your requirement. Medical and non-medical branches differentiate the combinations of Science subjects by two subjects, Biology and Mathematics.

 However, before the selection, some schools require a higher percentage of Class 10 Science subjects. Here is all you need to know about different subject combinations and the benefits of the Science stream.

• PCB (Medical)

Suppose you want to study medicine and go for the main caregiving sector of the economy by being a doctor or a nurse. In that case, this particular subject combination is just for you. This combination comprises three main subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

• PCMB (Both the branches of Medical and Non-Medical)

In this particular stream, you can study mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry together. Sometimes Class 11 may be too soon to decide whether to go for medical or non-medical branches. So, by choosing this particular subject combination, you get to explore more about the possibilities they offer as well as which way to proceed further after Class 12.

• PCM (Engineering and Computer Science)

This particular combination is studying Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. As you are already cancelling biology in your subject combination, the branches of studying medicine still need to be added. Completing your 12th with this combination will help you to move forward with several departments of Engineering.

MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION

For the Science Stream of the Higher Secondary course, the medium of instruction is English**

IMPORTANT NOTE

We hold Extra English tutorial classes, as and when needed, to help students, coming from the Assamese medium schools, to cope with the English language. Many  of our previous students   who achieved brilliant success  in the H.S. Science Stream and gained admission to government medical and engineering colleges of India  had their education in Assamese  medium schools up to the 10th class.
