Hii,

Yes, even if you have a backlog in math for your B.Tech, you can still take the GATE exam. According to the GATE regulations, you must be in your last year of study or have earned your degree.

Before enrolling in any college to pursue an M.Tech, you must finish all backlogs, including math. Thus, put in a lot of effort to clear your backlog while simultaneously getting ready for GATE. You're capable.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can appear for improvement exams for Mathematics, English, and Hindi for the year 2025 if you appeared for your Class 10 board exams in 2025, as per CBSE guidelines. After appearing for your Class 10 board you can only appear for improvement in subjects in the same year you appeared for the main exam. Keep in mind, you can only appear for improvement once in the following year after your main exam. If you need more accurate and recent information about the subject improvement application process you should check the official CBSE website or simply reach out to your school.

Hi Manshi,

Yes, you are able to give improvement exams in three of the subjects (Maths, English, and Hindi) in the year 2025 as long as you appeared for the Class 10 CBSE board examination in the same year. CBSE enables the collective group of students improving in one or more subjects in the same calendar year through the Improvement Exam or Compartment exams that are usually held in July (following result announcement). Since you are dissatisfied with your 78%, and you can improve in each of the individual subjects, that means you are eligible to apply for improvement examination. Just ensure you apply within the deadline when the registration will open on the official CBSE site. As an additional note, improvement exams are only allowed in subjects that you already passed (you must have already achieved the minimum grade).

Keep checking the CBSE (https://www.cbse.gov.in/) website for updates.

Hello Satvika,

As a PCB student from Telangana who did not complete the Maths Bridge Course prior to commencing a B.Tech in Biotechnology, it is typically possible to take the course in your 1st year of B.Tech. Most engineering colleges offer the Maths Bridge Course, or similar course, during the first year of the program to help students improve and reinforce math fundamentals, especially for students who do not have a strong background in maths.

You can check with your college's academic office or department for the exact dates, etc, but the course will generally be delivered very early in the program so that a student can progress through their B.Tech course work without any issues.

Hi Shruthi,

In general, most universities and colleges require students to have acquired Mathematics knowledge at the 10+2 (or equivalent) level in order to enter a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) program. This is because computer science does involve logical thinking and algorithms - at times it may even involve programming - that often requires basic math skills. That said, some institutions do offer BCS or related courses without a strict "mathematics" requirement, particularly if they place more emphasis on application, and less on theory. However, it is wise to check the eligible qualifications of the college/university you apply to.

In the instance that you have a Physics, Chemistry, Biology (PCB) background without Maths, you may also have other options such as BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications), or diploma programs, where the requirements could be more flexible.

Hii,

Yes, you can pursue a BCS (Bachelor of Computer Science) degree with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) background, however the laws of your institution or university will determine this.

Some colleges may demand 12th grade math, while many do not.  So, if your college allows it, you can complete BCS without taking math.  It's best to check with the college you intend to attend.  If math is not required, you can still learn computer science topics during your BCS course.

Hello Vijay,

For B.Tech or B.Sc. Bioinformatics, your son should choose Science with Maths in 11th and 12th.

Here’s why:

1. B.Tech requires Mathematics and Physics in 12th as a must for engineering courses.
   
   

2. B.Sc. Bioinformatics also often requires Maths along with Biology or Biotechnology.
   
   

3. Choosing Science with Language (instead of Maths) will limit options for B.Tech and related courses.
   
   

4. Maths keeps options open for both technical and science fields.

So, to keep both B.Tech and B.Sc. Bioinformatics available, Science with Maths is the best choice.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
