Science is one of the most famous streams of study amongst students at the 10+2 level. Career options for science students open to avail the maximum chances and to get a better job.

Many choose the science stream as it provides them with a wide range of career options after their 12th boards. A great benefit of choosing the science stream is that they can have an additional advantage over the Arts and Commerce students because Science students are eligible for almost all Science as well as non-science career options.

Moreover, science students can select the most sought-after careers like Engineering and Medicine and also pursue further education in Pure Sciences or Applied Sciences at Post Graduate levels. Due to the overbearing nature of this stream, most of the students often end up wondering what would be the best career option for them after their 12^th.

So, in this article, we will provide you with a glimpse of the career options that you could opt for after Science 10+2.

Some Job & Career Options After 12th Science

A student who has completed their B.Ed / B.Tech degree can choose from a variety of job options like computer science engineers, civil engineers, automobile engineers, mechanical engineers, and more.
