Hello,

Yes, you can take Data Science as a course after 12th. Since you have Commerce with Information Practices and will be doing Mathematics from NIOS, you will be eligible for Data Science in many universities. Mathematics is a required subject for most Data Science courses, so having it from NIOS is acceptable.

In CUET UG , the subjects you should choose depend on the university’s eligibility criteria, but usually, you can take:

  1. One Language (for example, English)

  2. Mathematics (from NIOS)

  3. Information Practices or Computer Science

  4. General Test (if required by the university)

You should always check the specific eligibility criteria of the university where you want to apply, as requirements may vary.

Hope it helps !

Hello, Yes, doing Maths from NIOS along with your 12th Commerce (with IP) usually makes you eligible for many Data Science undergraduate courses (like B.Sc or BCA). NIOS is a recognized board, and most universities accept it for fulfilling the mandatory Maths requirement. However, it's super important to double-check the specific eligibility criteria of the exact universities and courses you're interested in, as some might have unique rules.

For the CUET-UG exam, the required subjects depend entirely on the university and the specific Data Science program. Typically, you'll need to take English (Section I), Mathematics (Section II - compulsory), and often Computer Science/Information Practices (Section II). Many universities also require the General Test (Section III). Always check the official CUET-UG website or the university's admission page for the exact subject combination needed for your target course.

I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, have a great day!

Hello

Yes, you can pursue Data Science after 12th with Commerce and IP, especially since you're adding Maths from NIOS, which many universities require. Your CUET UG subject choices should include Maths, General Test, and possibly English or IP, depending on the university. Different universities have different eligibility, so always check their official websites. Your stream won't stop you—as long as you have Maths, you're good to go. Just stay consistent with your preparation and aim for good CUET scores.
