Hello,

Admission to the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in Class 11 varies by institution . Key points include:

  • Minimum Percentage: Most schools require at least 60% aggregate in Class 10 for admission to PCM in Class 11.
  • Subject Scores: A minimum of 50% in Mathematics and Science is usually necessary.
  • Competitive Schools: Prestigious institutions may demand 70% or higher, depending on competition.
  • Board Rules: CBSE mandates at least a Grade D in five subjects (excluding the sixth additional subject) for promotion to Class 11.
  • School Policies: Criteria vary by institution; some may include entrance tests or interviews.
  • Advice: Check specific school guidelines for accurate eligibility requirements.

Hope it helps !

To get admission into the 11th grade PCM science stream the board percentage depends on school however, a student needs a minimum aggregate percentage of around 70-80% in their 10th grade exams, with a strong emphasis on scoring well in mathematics and science subjects, which often require a minimum of 60% each.usually its 70 percent for ICSE board and 75 percent for CBSE board.


Also,Specific percentage requirements can differ depending on the school and the education board (like CBSE, ICSE, State Boards). Some schools might have higher cut-offs for the science stream.

Importance of Math and Science marks:

Even if the overall percentage is slightly above the minimum, a student with significantly lower marks in math and science might not be eligible for admission to the PCM stream.

Entrance exams:

Some schools might conduct additional entrance exams for admission to the science stream, where performance in the test is also taken into consideration.

BEST WISHES!!!
