Pathology

To pursue a career in pathology, a background in Science is essential. Undergraduate programs typically require completion of 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as compulsory subjects. For example, a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Pathology necessitates a Science stream background.If you have completed your 12th grade with arts subjects, you would need to pursue a foundational course in Science to meet the eligibility criteria for pathology programs. This could involve enrolling in a Science bridging course or completing a Diploma in a related field to fulfill the necessary prerequisites.In summary, while a direct path to pathology courses is not available with an arts background, you can take preparatory steps to transition into the Science stream and subsequently pursue a career in pathology.
