Can I get in to Engineering courses with Pure Science in 12th Std?
Hello!
No, mathematics plays an essential role in Engineering. 12th mathematics is the basics for Engineering mathematics. Engineering courses will look for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in your higher secondary schooling. But you can pursue biotechnology engineering. But definitely there is no chance for computer science engineering, architecture, civil etc. First thing there is no chance for engineering without higher secondary mathematics. Secondly if you get a seat by influence or recommendation it will become a difficult job for you to keep up with the syllabus. From my perspective you can opt biology related courses like biotechnology, agriculture etc. Choose wisely, ALL THE BEST. Hope the answer was helpful.
THANK YOU.
