Keeping aside B.Tech course and medical programmes, you can also pick Science courses like BSc (Hons.) , B Pharmacy or go for courses in commerce, languages, business, etc.

One of the most common myths amongst students is that they are not eligible to pursue commerce or economics programmes after studying science in class 12.
