Science

About Science:

Science stream could be referred to as a well-organized study and research study of natural occurrences by theoretical definition and observation alongside experimentation. Science is a vast career and inter-related to almost every field that our eyes can see or cannot see. Studying science is important because it gives knowledge of natural phenomena. The main aim of science is to encourage our curiosity in finding out why things happen in the way we do. There are a lot of fields in science to choose from. So, the importance of science features amongst the intellectuals regardless of the field they belong to. As per general trend, most students choose science as a career because of the large number of opportunities in the field. However, science is a complex and sophisticated field and requires excellent critical thinking and reasoning ability. Science has been one of the most popular streams of study amongst students in 11th and 12th for reasons such as these:
It is the stream leading up to popular careers such as Engineering and Medicine
Science students can pursue further studies in Pure Sciences or Applied Sciences at Postgraduate levels.
There are several professional careers that require Science at 10+2 level, for example, a career as a Commercial Pilot.

Eligibility Criteria:

One of the benefits that Science students have over Arts and Commerce students is that they are eligible for almost all Science and non-Science career options.
Science courses can be pursued at all – UG, PG and PhD levels. The eligibility criteria differ as per the course and branch chosen by a candidate. 
Candidates can pursue degree, diploma, certificate, integrated, and vocational Science courses at UG, PG, and PhD levels. Candidates can pursue these courses as full-time, part-time, distance/ correspondence, and online programs.
