                       Career Option for 10+2 for PCB Student

Post 10th standard, all of us arrive at a crossroad, where we need to choose a stream that will determine our profession and eventually, the rest of our lives. While many of us choose Physics, Chemistry, and Maths (PCM), there are many who choose Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) and pursue a profession in the medical field. But unlike engineering, the medical field offers several options to students. Choosing the right course after 12th is extremely important because a well-thought-out decision can lead to a rewarding career or may become a basis for the post graduation course. It is difficult to pick one because there are so many good options, which have a good scope but we do not know which is appropriate for us.
