Hello Pooja,

Yes, it's definitely possible for a student with 60-70% in the 10th CBSE board to study in the science stream. Here are a few key points:

  1. Eligibility : Typically, for science stream (Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Mathematics), the minimum requirement is around 50-60% in the 10th grade. Some schools may have specific cutoffs based on your marks, but generally, 60-70% is acceptable.

  2. Entrance Exams :

    • While schools and colleges mostly admit students based on their 10th-grade marks, some schools or institutions may conduct entrance exams for admission to specific streams, especially if you're aiming for highly competitive schools or specialized courses (e.g., Engineering, Medical).

    • For example, if you want to pursue Medical (MBBS, BDS), you’ll eventually need to clear NEET after completing your 12th.

    • For Engineering , you would need to clear exams like JEE after 12th.

    • However, for the general science stream (Physics, Chemistry, and optional Biology/Maths), entrance exams are not typically required.

  3. Subject Selection : Depending on the stream you choose in 11th (Science with Biology or Mathematics), some subjects may have prerequisites, but usually, admission is based on overall marks in the 10th exam.

So, as long as you meet the admission criteria of the schools you're interested in, it is quite possible to pursue the science stream with a 60-70% score in 10th.
