To become a Software Engineer after completion of your 12th standard with Science stream from Jharkhand Board, you have to pursue B.E/ B.Tech in CSE/ IT stream from a recognised university. Admissions to B.E/ B.Tech course are done through merit basis of 12th standard board examination marks or through entrance examination conducted by the respective university/ state. After completion of your four years B.E/ B.Tech course with good subject knowledge, you can apply for software engineer job in top companies.

The best option will be through JEE Main, by securing admission in B.Tech CSE at any reputed engineering institutions. After completion of the degree, you can appear for campus interviews of leading software companies.

The other option will be MCA, which will be a longer route, after completion of degree. Most of the software companies prefer candidates with MCA degree. Hence, make sure you have one of these qualifications, if you want to become a Software Engineer.

To become a software engineer, you are required to pursue B.Tech in Computer science or Information technology.

Also, the minimum education required to pursue B.Tech in CS/IT, you are required to have completed your Class 12th in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects from a recognised board.
