I have taken maths as my compulsory subject in chse, odisha board. I am a medical aspirant. Can i leave mathematics?its 6 months already

Mathematics as such will not assume a greater importance as compared to the other subjects and perhaps you'll be able to concentrate better on the subjects that are more important.

You need to confirm the same from your respective school/institution if they'll let you do the same.

The only advantage of pursuing maths along with biology, physics and chemistry is that you'll be able to do physics better. However, it will also be time consuming and you will not be able to give ample time to other topics. It depends on how well you're able to manage all the subjects. Since you've mentioned that you've been studying maths from the last 6 months, you might be able figure out if you can manage the load or not.

If you feel you can, go ahead with whatever you're doing as of now, else you can consider dropping maths out of your curriculum.

Hey Gaurav!

I myself had Mathematics as my compulsory subject in std 11and  12. I even tried inquiring the board (ISC) whether it was ok not to pass in the subject inspite of having taken it. My main problem was that my competitors were doing much better in the NEET mock tests by working lesser number of hours than me. Unfortunately I couldn't drop it midway.

My advice would be try to get a bare minimum. Focus completely on Neet subjects. Dont even think that you will need maths if you dont make it to a medical stream. Never keep a second target!! That's all I know.

Hey!

Attending maths has it own pros

Neet-ug has cut throat competition and hence if u want a safer racket you can have maths as a back up to enter engg and other courses .

Yet studying maths can scavenge your time that you could have skillfully used on preparing physics, chemistry and biology .Check your possibility , if you can manage mathematics without much effort then you can continue but if u think maths is taking more time then you should drop it and start fresh

All the best

Any further questions ping me

Hello Gaurav :)



I can understand the dilemma that you are facing having been there myself. I, too had both mathematics and biology.



Let me give you both the pros and the cons of keeping maths with you.



Pros:

1. It helps you understand physics better, not to mention solving numericals.

2. It develops your logical thinking.

3. Given you are a medical aspirant, it will help you in statistics that is a part of the PSM subject in a medical college.

4. You have a plan B in case you wish to switch from the medical stream.



Cons:

1. It requires practice and time.

2. It can get difficult at times in terms of topics like integration.

3. The marks you achieve affect your 12th standard percentage.



Just one thing I would like to mention is that your 12th standard percentage doesn't really matter much once you enter college. I used to worry a lot about my percentage before I entered college but after entering college, I realized that it only helped a little during my admission and nothing more. I had my CBSE concepts clear and that was all that mattered.



Having told you all this, I would suggest you keep maths if you can handle it. If you believe in yourself that you can, you will DEFINITELY be able to cope up with it.



Hope this helps!

All the best.

Hi Gourav,

The main advantage of having maths is that it makes physics relatively easier to handle, particularly at the competitive exam level.

Even in PMTs, basic knowledge of integration and differentiation would be a good boost.

So, if you can handle it, then fair and good.

Also, it would keep your options wide open as well

HELLO Gaurav ,
Even i am a odia and i had both maths and biology in 11th and 12th. I used to score very poor in maths in school exams and in preboards but i managed to get good score in boards.
I would suggest you that if its not that difficult then keep the subjects do that you have your options open and it will also help you solve a lot of physics problems too.

Yes, Gourav It might be possible, you have to talk with your college Principal/Dean for that.

A few students from my college did that :-)

Hi Gourav

It is quite possible to do so, although mostly it depends on your school/college. I do recommend shifting as soon as possible to prevent any hindrance to further studies. As long as you are sure, go ahead!

Yes , you can. Upto 1 semester you are allowed to leave subject when you study both subjects at a same year
