Science students have a wide range of career opportunities after Class 12, depending on their specific interests and the subjects hey choose such as PCM - Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or PCB - Physics, Chemistry, Biology. Students who are pursuing class 12 from Science stream have wide career opportunities in comparison to Commerce and Arts stream students as they have opportunities to pursue further studies in Commerce, Arts and Humanities whereas pursuing higher studies in science is not allowed for Commerce, Arts and Humanities students.

Students who are pursuing Science stream with Biology as a subject will have the opportunity to pursue their career in the field of medical or engineering or teaching etc. While the students who have opted for Science with Maths have the option to pursue their career in engineering, aviation, commerce etc. It is important to examine each career option, take your interests and abilities into account and make appropriate plans. To make an informed decision, students can also look to career counsellors for advice.

Elaborating on the career opportunities available for Class 12th Science students, Online learning platform expert and Author, Atul Malikram says, "Science is a dynamic field that offers abundant career options. Before selecting that ‘one’ field of study, you must consider what you are passionate about and how much you are willing to work for it. While options are innumerable, you have to find the one that calls you the most."

According to Malikram, these days, internships are also being offered to students, so they should try to find one in the field they are passionate about. "Internships will allow you to get hands- on experience that no other book can teach you. If you find prospects and growth potential in your field of work, it is worth pursuing. Remember, when you do what interests you, the likelihood of your success increases tenfold," he added.
