Hello candidate,

The HSC or the higher secondary examination is also known as plus two examinations, in other states. If your friend has got 43% and 46% respectively, in his exams then also he can have a lot of career opportunities in the field of science.

The first option is that he can pursue a diploma in any of the engineering fields from various colleges through qualifying their respective entrance examinations. Secondly, he can also join Engineering College and pursue of 4 year degree programme if able to meet the basic qualification criterias of that college.

Hope it helps!!
