Is chemistry is compulsory to become an engineer

Yes, it is compulsory to pursue Chemistry subject in 12th standard to be eligible to get admission for pursuing Engineering course. Candidates who have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination with PCM stream from a recognised board are eligible to pursue Engineering course. Admissions in Engineering course are done through State or National or University level engineering entrance examination.

First thing I would like to let you know that to be an engineer you need to pursue Bachelor of Engineering / Technology degree course which is a professional degree course of four years.

Further for pursuing B.E./B.Tech degree course the minimum educational qualification required is a higher secondary school degree with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects from a recognized board. Students holding diploma in engineering degree are also eligible.

It is evident from above mentioned facts that to be an engineer you need to have studied Chemistry at your higher secondary school degree unless you have pursued diploma in engineering course after your Class 10th.

Yes, definitely Chemistry is a compulsory subject in class 12th in order to become an Engineer in future.
Candidates those who have completed their class 12th with Science stream studying Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as a subject combination scoring a minimum of 50% of marks in it are eligible to apply for the B.Tech or B.E degree course in future.

** Yes, chemistry is compulsory to become an engineer.

** Bachelor of Technology is an undergraduate Engineering course.

** The duration of this course is four years.

** Candidate should have passed 12th class with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

** The minimum percentage required in 12th class for Engineering course is 50%.

** The admission of candidate will be done on the basis of entrance examination like EAMCET, Joint Entrance examination etc.

To become engineer, a candidate needs to pursue bachelor's degree in engineering or technology from a recognized university.

The eligibility criteria for pursuing bachelor's degree in engineering is to do 10+2 with science stream and PCM subjects are compulsory.

So, you can say that chemistry is necessary subject for becoming engineer.

Yes, it is mandatory that a candidate should have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in Higher Secondary Examination in order to opt for Engineering in future.
So, you should have completed 12th standard with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks with PCM as your compulsory subjects from a recognized board, in order to pursue Engineering courses.

Engineering courses are the most preferred course after passing higher secondary. The eligibility criteria for Bachelor of engineering:

Those who want to become engineer must study Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 11th and 12th. Without chemistry in higher secondary board examination, you can not apply for engineering entrance examination. Chemistry is compulsory to become an engineer.

To become an engineer candidate have to purse B.Tech or B.E course.

The basic eligibility to get admission in these course is candidate must have passed 12th with Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry as main paper.

So, it is necessary to pursue chemistry to become an engineer.

Yes, chemistry is compulsory to apply for entrance examination of engineering courses. The academic qualification required to apply for engineering entrance exam is 10+2 passed or appearing with compulsory subjects such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Without chemistry, you can not apply for engineering entrance exam and hence can not become engineer by pursuing engineering course.

Yes Physics,Chemistry and Maths is compulsory in class 12th for Engineering course.If you want to do biotech then biology is the compulsory subject(Physics,Biology and math's).
Eligibility criteria-
1-Candidate should be citizen of India.
2-Candidate should be 18 year old or above.
3-Candidate must have passed 10+2 with Physics Chemistry and Math's.
4-Candidate must have secured 50-60% marks depending on the exam that one is giving.

To become an engineer, you must have chemistry subject in 12th standard.

Those candidates who have completed 12th standard with PCM subject from a recognized university with above 50% marks are eligible for Engineering course. Your age should be above 17 years.

Chemistry is a compulsory subject in 12th to take admission in Engineering. One must have Physics,Maths and Chemistry as subjects to appear for entrance test or through direct admission etc. Infact Chemistry is a subject in 1st year/semester of B.E/B.Tech so you need to clear it there as well.
