I'm pursuing my 12th from Science stream with Biology as one of the major subject. After my 12th I want to do Computer Engineering. Which courses are available at graduate level to study Computer Engineering? Am I eligible for those?

At graduation level, you will get following courses to pursue related to Computer field like:

• Computer Science and Engineering
• Information Technology
• Software Engineering, etc.

And to be eligible for pursuing anyone of the above courses, you must have studied 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

The basic requirement for Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering is senior secondary board appeared or passed with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. For admission in any engineering course, mathematics is necessary in standard 12th.

If you have opted for mathematics and biology in 12th then only you can pursue Bachelor's degree in computer engineering.

To be eligible to pursue Computer Engineering course, you should have passed 12th standard with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects from a Government recognised board. Admissions in Engineering course are done through entrance examination conducted at National or State or University level. So, if you have passed 12th standard with PCM stream, you are eligible to do Computer Engineering course.

The eligibility to pursue B.Tech in Computer Science engineering is that candidate must have passed 12th with Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and English as main paper.

So, if you have all the subjects as your main paper in 12th then you are eligible to appear for various entrance examination conducted to get admission in the course.

Some of the most common entrance examination is :-

JEE.

BITSAT.

VITEE.

SRMJEE.

BCECE.

The eligibility criteria for Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering:

1. You must have passed senior secondary board with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from a recognized board. Board appearing candidates can also apply for engineering entrance examination.

If you have opted Mathematics in 12th then only you can apply for Computer engineering course otherwise not.

2. Some of the engineering entrance exams like JEE, SRMEEE, VITEEE, State level engineering entrance exams.

First thing I would like to let you know that the basic educational qualification required for pursuing degree course in engineering i.e; B.E./B.Tech is a higher secondary school degree with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as main subjects from a recognized board of education. Students having equivalent degree are also eligible.

So having completed your Class 12th with PCB group you are not eligible for pursuing degree course in engineering as for the same students having completed their Class 12th with PCM group are only eligible.

Since you are interested in pursuing Computer Engineering course i.e; B.E./B.Tech degree course in computer science then for the same you are required to have completed your Class 12th with Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects from a recognized board of education.

So having completed your Class 12th in Science stream but with Biology as the main subject instead of Mathematics, you are not eligible for pursuing computer engineering degree course.

After completing 12th with Biology as one of the major subject, you can pursue graduation with Computer Science. Without mathematics, to make career in IT sector is quite difficult. But these type of courses are offered in some colleges of DU.

Some courses are:-
B.Sc IT
BCA
Diploma in Computer science
International Diploma in Software Development
Diploma in Software Engineering Technician

The eligibility criteria for Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering:

*Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as necessary subjects. Board appearing candidates with PCM subject can also apply for the entrance exam.

*You can apply for Joint Entrance Examination to get admission in good engineering colleges of India like IITs, NITs and other government engineering college.

But if you have not studied PCM subjects then you are not eligible for engineering course.

To get admission in the Computer engineering course the required qualification is that candidate must have passed 12th in science stream.

So, if you have passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main paper then you are eligible to appear for examination.

Candidates with PCB are not eligible to appear for examination to pursue B.Tech in Computer Science stream.

You can join Computer Science only if you have Maths along with Biology otherwise you are not eligible for Computer Science.

To join any engineering stream Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics (PCM) is must and you can have Biology (PCMB) as an additional subject, only if you are really interested in Biology otherwise you can go with PCM only that will be most suitable for you and your career.

And if you really want to pursue in Computer Engineering you can reappear for XII exam by taking only Maths as an additional subject.

As per I know that it is compulsory to have passed intermediate from Science stream having Maths as one of the subject to pursue Engineering in any stream.
As you have mentioned that you have taken Biology but if you have also taken Maths then only you are eligible to pursue engineering.

The eligibility criteria for Computer Science Engineering course:

>>Candidate must have done 12th from a recognized board. In 12th, important subjects must include Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

>>Without studying mathematics in 12th, you can not apply for engineering entrance exams.

The last date for JEE exam of 2018 is over. You need to wait for next year notification.

The academic qualification required for pursuing computer engineering is:

Student should be from science stream. In science stream candidates must have selected Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Then student needs to apply for engineering entrance examination. Biology group student can pursue computer engineering only when he has taken mathematics as an additional subject in 12th.

Yes a Biology student can join computer engineering course after 12th he/she as Mathematics as one of the subjects in their 12th otherwise you are not eligible for this course.

But friend if you not enjoying medical field and are interested in technical field then you have some options available for you which are mentioned below;

1. Biotechnology

2. Microbiology

3. Biochemical Engineering

Also you can go for simply graduation and look for competitive examination or civil services examination later on.

If you are studying in class 12 in Science stream with PCM or PCMB, you are eligible to do Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) in graduate level. So, as you have Biology as major subject, you should belong to PCMB category of Science stream in class 12 to get admission in CSE course in graduate level.

B.Tech or B.E in CSE is the best course among CSE graduation level courses.

The eligibility criteria for Bachelor of computer engineering course is 12th passed from a recognized board.

For engineering course, you should have studied PCM subject in 12th.

Biology stream candidates can not pursue Bachelor's degree in computer engineering.

If you have not opted for Mathematics in 12th then you can not pursue Engineering course in any discipline.

Candidates who have done 12th from a recognized board with PCM subjects can apply for computer science engineering course and its entrance examination.

Yes, while filling your application form, you will have to mention the trade in which you wish to pursue for engineering.
I hope it helps!
