I am interested in PCMB combination. Is PCMB combination too tough for me?

I have appeared for class 10th this time. I want to go for PCMB combination in class 11th. I am very good in Biology and Chemistry. I am good in Physics also except the numerical part. But Maths is not so good for me. I want to give a serious try for medical entrance. But in case I am not able to qualify I want to keep other options open. Please advise.

Hello!

What is pcmb ? 

Thank you so much for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. In a minute reading up your question, I went nostalgic. To be honest, whatever you had written in here, I experienced the same after my 10th class. I loved Biology, Physics and Chemistry but never had so much liking for Math. I couldn't give up on Biology and that alone well inspired me to apply for the PCMB group. With my case, I was confident in not having a career in software and that ruled Pcmb group out of my options. Next, I didn't like Commerce and Business maths either and similarly Commerce group was ruled out of my options. All the way, I was keen in having a science-related career and that led me to study PCMB. I want you to ask the same questions yourself. Do you desire a career in science or software or being an Accountant? You will have some clarity after these questions.
 
If you have passion for Biology, please don't give it up. It will take you to heights. I see you want to give a shot for medical entrance. You can certainly prepare yourself for it right from 11th standard. Not all students, get attracted to Biology subject. Some are reluctant withdrawing and some are unhappy with biological laboratory experiments. Very few students have genuine interest in Biology and I am glad you are one too. My simple advice, study only those subjects that you love from your heart. It will lead to some path of ultimate success in future but never ever choose subjects because related professions may give you high salary package. A career success well depends on how the individual develops through every phase of life. But to lay a strong foundation, a genuine interest in the subject is highly essential.
 
In my case, I did PCMB and was attracted to Biotechnology industry. I was sure of not taking up a medical career. So I choose to study a BTech Biotechnology instead. I say the same to you. If you have genuine interest for medical, I am sure you will push yourself well for mathematics and get a good score. In case, you aren't getting into medical, you can consider BDS, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Biotechnology. These four are professional courses. You may also consider doing a three year BSc degree like Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Nutrition. In my opinion, Psychology is an interesting field
. In case you don't get into medical but still desire for a hospital career; you may consider studying BSc Psychology. You can choose to be a Clinical Psychologist and work at hospitals dealing with patients. For this, you should do an MSc Clinical Psychology after your BSc Psychology. In my experience new Interests evolve and the existing interest fluctuates as your career grows. I am sure you will also get shaped up as you pursue different courses and get placed in a variety of careers.
 
So, I would advice you to seriously and sincerely consider PCMB. You love three subjects out of four in this group. You could manage with the one that falls out of your interest. I am sure you will work some way out to pull up with maths at least to get an overall high score for medical entrance. A nice tip here: I always studied Math as the first subject of study as soon as I got home from school. It is the time your body and mind gets flooded with energy and I use these initial hours to do math. If I do math late night, I am sure to sleep on my notebooks and screw up my scores. Try moving into a nice place to read boring subjects. As I found math always boring, to push myself, I chose to sit on terrace or in my house garden to gather some energy from the environment. These are some ways to spice up your mood while studying boring subjects. Sitting in an external environment will also keep your body and mind active despite dealing with a boring subject. This energy will eventually stimulate your interest level for maths.
 
I would also suggest you to consider going for math coaching class and medical entrance coaching class right from the first month you start your 11th class. I am sure you will hit your scores high overall if you are courageous and dedicated. I am attaching a picture to give you a big picture of Biology related careers. Please take a look at it. I am sure you will find it interesting.
