Science with Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology

Keeps both the engineering and medical doors open, at the cost of a heavier load for two years.

Where it leads

• Everything PCM opens
• Everything PCB opens

Can you change your mind later?

The most flexible option on paper. The risk is spreading yourself thin across two brutal entrance exams and being competitive in neither.

The mistake families make here

Choosing PCMB to delay the decision, then still not deciding until Class 12, by which point the preparation is split.

Where students are usually competitive

Sensible above 85% in Class 10 with genuine stamina for the workload. Highest coaching cost of any stream, because families often pay for both NEET and JEE preparation.
