Hi Student,

Thank you for reaching out!

Pursuing the science stream in a junior college depends on the college’s admission criteria. You can pursue the Science stream with 76% in CBSE Class 10, even with low Science marks, by targeting mid-tier or private junior colleges

Eligibility for science stream :

Most CBSE-affiliated or state-board junior colleges require a minimum aggregate of 60-75% in Class 10 for science stream admission, with specific cutoffs for core subjects like mathematics and science. Your 76% aggregate is strong, but low science marks may pose a challenge.

With 76%, aim for colleges with cutoffs of 70-75%, like local government or private institutes.

All the best.

Thank you.

Regards,
