What are the maximum number of subjects I can take in cbse class 12th?
In the CBSE curriculum, there are five subjects to choose for 12th for pursuing a Science/Technology faculty relatedcourses. They are:
1.Physics
2.Chemistry
3.Mathematics
4 language course
5. Dependent on the students idea
Choosing the five subjects in CBSE is based on the idea of what the student wants out of his academics. Generally, students preparing for entrance exams and solely hoping to excel in that tend to choose subjects that go light on their preparation, so that their focus can be on the various entrance examinations likeJEE Mains and JEE Advanced AIPMT, AIIMS etc
Hope you understand,
Thank you
Hello Mayank,
Yes, you can take up 5 additional subjects along with English in your CBSE class 12th, making it a total of 6 subjects. But the overall percentage for your 12th will be the percentage considering the best of five subjects out of six subjects, the five subjects which will be considered should either include one language and four elective OR two language and three elective.
Hope this answers your query, feel free to ask for more info.
Along with the main subjects you can choose optional subjects in 12th.
For medical stream along with PCB you can choose-
