One of the most common misconceptions among students is that not studying Mathematics in Class 12 significantly limits their opportunities to pursue higher education abroad.
The reality is more nuanced. While admission requirements vary by country, university, and program, many international institutions offer a wide range of undergraduate courses for students with a Biology-based Science background.
Beyond traditional medical pathways, students can explore exciting careers in life sciences, healthcare, psychology, nutrition, environmental studies, education, and many other growing industries.

Important Eligibility Information
Admission requirements differ between universities and individual programs. Some courses may require Mathematics as a compulsory prerequisite or list it as a preferred subject. Others may accept students who have completed Class 12 with Biology, Chemistry, and related science subjects without Mathematics.
Because eligibility criteria vary, students should never assume they are ineligible based solely on their Class 12 subject combination. Instead, each program should be assessed individually according to the university’s official admission requirements.
Guidance for Counsellors
Before advising students, counsellors should always verify the latest course-specific eligibility criteria published by the respective universities. A thorough profile assessment—including academic background, subject combinations, English language proficiency, and career goals—helps identify the most suitable study options.
For profile assessment and detailed course eligibility guidance, counsellors may also connect with the Crizac team for support.
