Dear Aspirant,

PCM with economics a good option for someone who is confused about their career and wants to keep for science and commerce options open for them. They are not as diverse as people think these fields are. For instance, statistics is an important part of both Mathematics and Economics. Here are some of the career options which you can consider after pursuing PCM with economics in 12th.

So first of all, all the engineering options are open for you. So you can pursue engineering in any of the branches, like, Computer Science, Mechanical, Electronics and Tele-Communication, Electrical, Civil Engineering, Marine, Aerospace, Agricultural, Petroleum, Automobile, Biochemical, Bio Medical, Biotechnology, Bio Instrumentation, Bio Informatics, Chemical, Environmental, Food technology, Fire, Leather, Mining & Metallurgical, Nano technology, Printing, Plastic & polymer, Rubber, Genetic, Textile etc. any of these.

Another option is Architecture for which you again have to give competitive exams.

Other options for you because of your science combination are:

  • Merchant Navy through Higher National Diploma  (HND) Nautical Science or Marine Engineering (1 year course) or Bachelor of Science in Nautical Technology  (3 years training at Institute + 1 year at Sea) or Bachelor of Technology in Naval Architecture and Ship Building.
  • Commercial Pilot via training
  • B.Sc. in physics, chemistry, maths, astronomy, forensic Science, geology, statistics , industrial chemistry, nautical science, home science, nutrition, clothing and textile, extension and communication, environmental science, Human Development and Family studies (BSc),  fashion design, fashion technology etc.

PCM with economics enhances your job market understanding. If you are not interested in pursuing engineering or B.Sc with pure sciences like maths/physics/chemistry etc, you do have an option of going for economics hons course or statistics course. The benefit of being a science student is a better logical and analytical reasoning skills. The option of IES (Indian economic services) and ISS  (Indian statistical services) is also open for you.

Hope this helps. All the best!
