Hello there,

If you have opted for PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Math, and Biology) in your 11th and 12th studies, you can choose between the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math) and PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) exam groups. However, for most entrance exams like NEET , JEE , or other specific exams , you typically choose one stream for the exam:

Here’s the clarification:

  1. NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) :

    • NEET only allows you to appear in the PCB stream (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for medical-related courses.

  2. JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) :

    • JEE is for PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math) students who are interested in engineering.

  3. Other Exams :

    • You cannot give both PCM and PCB exams in the same session, as they are different streams focusing on different career paths (engineering vs medical).

      How to opt for both exams (if you want to pursue both medical and engineering):
  • For NEET : Choose PCB as your focus for medical preparation.
  • For JEE : Choose PCM for engineering preparation.
  • Strategy : While preparing for both, focus separately for each exam's subjects to ensure clarity in your studies.

You will need to balance your study time effectively to succeed in both.


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

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Yes, if you have opted for PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology), you can technically sit for both PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) and PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) exams as both combinations are included within the PCMB curriculum so no need to worry about it you are essentially already studying all the necessary subjects for both groups.


There is subject overlap but that doesn't mean you are not qualified for any exam Since Physics and Chemistry are common to both PCM and PCB, you would only need to focus on preparing the additional subject (Mathematics for PCM and Biology for PCB) separately.


While you can technically sit for both exams, always verify if your specific board or institution has any rules regarding choosing only one combination for entrance exams.

GOOD LUCK..
