FSc or Faculty of Science is an intermediate or secondary school certificate that students across Pakistan choose right after studying Matriculation or 10th grade. FSc is a 2-year course that often known as 1st year and 2nd year among students.

FSc offers two different fields such 

• FSc Pre-Medical
• FSc Pre-Engineering

Eligibility and Pre-requisites for FSc

• Those students who have completed their Matriculation or 10th grade with Biology and wants to pursue their career in Medical Field must opt for FSc Pre-Medical and those students who have opted for Mathematics in Matric should use FSc Pre-Engineering.
• Student willing to take admission in FSc must clear Matriculation with reasonable marks. Different Private and Government colleges in Pakistan offers scholarships to position holders in 10th grade.
  

Difference between Fsc Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering

Many students get confused while choosing a Medical or Engineering field due to lack of parents interest and 0 to none career counselling. So let's discuss what are the major differences in Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering and what fields you can choose after studying FSc in Pakistan.

We will also discuss possibilities of switching fields after completing FSc because many students also want to switch to Engineering or Medical fields depending upon the circumstances.

Change of Profession, Field

Often students across the country ask, can we change our field after doing Medical or Engineering respectively? The short answer will be yes because not all the time we perform well in exams. If you are uncomfortable during your medical or engineering education you can still switch fields.
