What is the meaning of PCM? What does it mean for doing 11th and 12th standard and even after that? Can someone please provide me the brief on this for me to understand better? Hoping that I will get the answer soon from this forum.

PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It is a Non-Medical Science stream in Higher Secondary course which consists of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects.

Admissions in Higher Secondary course are offered mostly on basis of 10th standard board examinations whereas some top schools conducts an entrance examination or admission test to offer admission in 11th standard to merit candidates of the entrance examination.

Candidates who are interested to build their career in Engineering field can opt for Higher Secondary PCM course. After completion of your 11th and 12th standard with PCM stream from a Government recognised board, you can pursue your higher studies in Engineering or Technology related courses.

PCM is an acronym for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

In PCM;

P is for Physics,

C is for Chemistry and

M is for Mathematics.

It is a short form used for non Medical Science stream which includes subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Its simple PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects.

Generally 11th and 12th PCM used in study.

Similarly PCB stands Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

There are many be various meaning of PCM but the standard meaning for students who are in 10+2 with science stream is :-

P-- Physics.

C---Chemistry.

M---Mathematics.

PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. There are two subjects group in science stream for 10+2 board exams.

>>PCM group for courses like engineering etc.

>>PCB group which means Physics, Chemistry and Biology for medical courses like MBBS, BDS etc.

If you are interested in pursuing engineering, you can select science stream with PCM subject group. For medical courses, you need to select PCB subject group.

*In senior secondary level of education, there are three streams for doing 10+2:

*Arts stream.

*Commerce stream.

*Science stream: In this there are two divisions. Science stream with Mathematics is called PCM. PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Those who want to pursue bachelor's degree in engineering or architecture must take PCM subjects in 11th and 12th.

PCM means Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. In recent time, this abbreviation has become very famous for candidates who do 10+2 from science stream by opting for mathematics subject.

Similarly PCB is used for candidates who opt for Biology subject in 10+2.

The higher secondary school degree with Science stream is basically divided in two parts as discussed below :-

Non medical stream ( PCM group ) :- In this group a student has Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as their main subjects in their same degree course.

Medical Stream ( PCB group ) :- In this group a student has all three Physics, Chemistry and Biology as his/her main subjects in the same degree course.

The PCM or PCB group are applicable up to this degree only as for higher studies a student has to select a subject for their studies not a group.

PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. PCM is the short form of these three subjects.

The meaning of the PCM is physics, chemistry and Math. These are the subjects of non-medical stream

I marked in 11 std admission form for physics chemistry biology maths English Hindi and IT so when to choose between PCB AND PCM

How is it possible to have PCM for commerce student who wants to apply for BCA(Bachelor's in Computer Administration)

I WANT TOBECAME SOFTWARE ENGINEER I CAN DO PCM

I WANT TO BECAME SOFTWARE ENGINEER CAN I DO PCM IN 11TH AND 12TH

PCM means Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in class 11th and 12th. It means science students with physics, chemistry and mathematics.
PCM describes the subject only and nothing.................

Give more information about PCM

Sir I passed 10 2 standard with pcm and english and assames.but i got gas mark in phyisics.can it cosider to any compitetive exam .

PCM stands for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. If you want to do Engineering in the future then you must select these subjects in your 11th and 12th standard. If you have these subjects in your intermediate then only after your intermediate you will be able to pursue engineering.
