Eligibility criteria: 10+2 Science stream passed with PCM (physics, chemistry and mathematics) subjects from a recognised board is the minimum qualification set by the majority of institutes offering this course. Note: In case of some institutes, 10+2 passed with science stream subjects will also do the trick! Minimum aggregate mark criteria, if present, is generally around 50% aggregate marks in science subjects.
