Maths in 12th is not compulsory for Biotechnology you just need a relevant Bachelor's degree to be eligible

Hello Aspirant,

Hello! Yes, as a PCM student with a compartment in Mathematics, you may be allowed to take provisional admission in some colleges by submitting an undertaking, but this depends on the college's specific admission policy and the timing of your compartment result.

Many colleges (especially private and some state-level institutions) allow provisional admission if you submit an undertaking stating that you have appeared for the compartment exam and will submit the passed result once declared (likely August).

You may be given a deadline (e.g., till August 31 or September 15) to submit your final passed marksheet.

Your admission will remain conditional until you clear the compartment.

If you fail the compartment, your admission may be automatically cancelled.

All the best for your admission process.

Hello,

Yes, you can join some colleges by giving an undertaking if you have a compartment in Maths. But this depends on the college's rules. Many colleges allow provisional admission with an undertaking that you will submit your passed result later.

You should contact the college where you want to take admission and ask if they accept students with a compartment through an undertaking. If they allow, you can take admission and submit your passed result after the compartment exam result is out in August.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

If you have passed your 12th class from Maharashtra Board with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) as main subjects and Mathematics was taken as an optional subject, then failing in Mathematics will not affect your eligibility for PCB group.

Even if you appeared for improvement and failed in Maths, your original marks in PCB subjects will still be valid. Since you are from the general category and your PCB marks are clear, you will be eligible for admission in PCB-based courses like MBBS, BDS, BSc Nursing, etc.

So, there is no problem if you failed in Maths, as long as your PCB subjects are passed.

Hope it helps !

Yes, many CBSE schools offer Applied Mathematics as an optional subject within the Commerce stream for Class 11. Applied Mathematics is designed for students who want to develop analytical and quantitative skills related to commerce, economics, and social sciences, but don't want to pursue the standard Mathematics course designed for science students. However, it's always best to confirm with the specific school you're interested in, as subject offerings can vary.

Here's why Applied Mathematics is offered and what it entails:

Bridging the gap:

Applied Mathematics was introduced by the CBSE to provide a more relevant math option for students pursuing Commerce and Humanities, as the standard Mathematics curriculum is often seen as more geared towards Science students.

Practical applications:

Applied Mathematics focuses on the practical application of mathematical and statistical tools in fields like Commerce, economics, and social sciences.

Career options:

Studying Applied Mathematics can be beneficial for students interested in careers in management, finance, economics, business studies, and related fields.

Subject availability:

While Applied Mathematics is becoming increasingly common, some schools may still offer it as a fifth subject, so it's important to check with the school to confirm its availability and whether it is part of their standard subject combinations.

Dear student,

A B.Sc. in Mathematics from Mumbai University or top colleges in Mumbai can definitely be a good choice, especially if you plan to go for higher studies or build a career in analytical fields.

Math graduates are often hired in sectors like finance, data analysis, software, teaching, and research. Many students use this degree as a stepping stone for further education—like M.Sc., MBA, MCA, Actuarial Science, or even Data Science courses.

Colleges like St. Xavier’s, Mithibai, NMIMS, and Ruia College have strong academic reputations and decent placement support. At top institutes, packages can go up to Rs.8–12 LPA, especially if you develop skills beyond the classroom.

That said, entry-level jobs after just a B.Sc. might not offer very high salaries compared to engineering or management. But with the right focus, your options grow with time—especially if you’re strong in maths and analytical thinking.
