Science Medical(PCB)
The Science stream with a medical focus is chosen by students interested in healthcare, medicine, and biological sciences. It includes Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, but does not include Mathematics as a core subject. This path builds a strong foundation in understanding living systems, the human body, and scientific processes, preparing students for careers in medicine, dentistry, biotechnology, and related fields.
