โ FAQs About Science
๐ Is science very tough compared to commerce or arts?
It demands more hours of study, labs, and precise concepts. But if youโre genuinely interested, it becomes exciting rather than hard.
๐ฉบ Can I switch to non-science careers later?
Yes! Science students often pursue MBAs, law (after entrance), or civil services. Many top IAS officers are engineers/doctors.
๐ป Is maths compulsory for science?
For engineering & most computer science, yes. But for pure medical streams (PCB), you donโt need maths.
๐งฌ Can I go into research after B.Sc?
Absolutely. After a B.Sc, you can pursue M.Sc, then PhD to work in advanced research labs or universities.
๐ Are science students preferred for government exams?
For certain technical exams (like SSC Scientific Assistant, ISRO, DRDO), yes. For UPSC, all streams are equal โ but science students often take it with maths, physics, anthropology, or medical science as optional.
