Hello,

Yes, absolutely with 81% in your 10th board, you can definitely apply for the Science stream with PCMB . Most schools look for a minimum of 70–75% for science stream, and since you’re in the general category with 81%, you meet the criteria.

However, a few top-tier schools or central schools like KVs or private institutions may have cutoffs around 85–90% for science due to high competition. But many good schools will welcome your application based on your performance.

PCMB is a demanding stream but also opens a lot of doors you can go into medicine, research, pharmacy or , engineering . Choose this stream only if you're genuinely interested in both Maths and Biology.

Hope you will find it helpful!
