Hello dear,

Yes , you can do pathology degree or diploma after completing 12th with commerce stream . After completing your 12th class you can apply for various degree or diploma courses in Pathology. But, its better to pursue degree course instead of doing diploma course as it provides in-depth knowledge of the subject.

You can do master's degree in pathology  which is the minimum level of education required to become a pathologist .

There are many streams you can choose , choose the best .

Good luck !
