+2 Science
Science can be defined as a systematic study and investigation of natural phenomenon and occurrences by way of observation, theoretical explanation as well as experimentation. A scientific study of any phenomenon involves careful observation, formulation of hypotheses, conducting experiments to test and prove the hypotheses and henceforth drawing conclusions that confirm or deny the hypothetical assumption. Such scientific studies help in the formulation of universal laws that help humans to know more about the world we live in and how various natural processes and phenomena occur.
Science is a vast field and concerns almost everything that our eyes can see or cannot see. Everything in the universe can be studied under the field of science. Talking at a basic educational level, science can be divided into three broad subjects – Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Below is a generic description of the three sub-divisions of Science and what they cover that will help you gauge whether you have an interest in this stream. Students who wish to take up the science stream after Class 10 should know that a career in this field would mean a life-long learning process. New advancements in science in technology take place every day, and a career in this field would mean being abreast with the latest developments and technologies. Likewise, a person who does not really have innate curiosity and inquisitiveness would find it hard to fit in a career in the science field.

D+ Nepali, Social Studies and other subjects
Career Options
Hopefully, you are not expecting job right after passing +2 in Science, but you may get some part time jobs at school (to teach Mathematics/Science or home tuition to mentor school level students). You will be eligible to sit for the subba level examination of public service commission (lok sewa aayog). Most of the students pursue different fields after passing + 2 in Science. Some of the possible available study options are:
Medical
Most of the +2 students of Biology stream, dreams to become doctor, either self interest or pressure from parents plays a major role for this selection. These types of students get enroll to some entrance preparation institution right after giving examination of +2 Science. In Nepal, KU, TU, BPKIHS and Patan Academy of health sciences offers MBBS program via their constituent schools or affiliated colleges. BDS is also a very popular course among students. If you wish to serve the community with preventative measures, research and campaigns BPH course may be a right course for you. For students who like to work in laboratory courses like B.Sc MLT, BMIT are also available. Other course options include Bachelor in Pharmacy, Bachelor in Medical Microbiology etc.
Engineering
Engineering is the passion for this group of students. Various Engineering programs are offered in Nepal by Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, Purbanchal University and Pokhara University. Bachelor in Civil Engineering is one of the most popular courses among students because of availability of jobs in local market. Bachelor in Electronics and communication, Bachelor in Computer Engineering, Bachelor in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor in Geomatics, Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering , BE in Information and Technology are other available course options in Nepal.
Computer and IT
Various computers and IT related courses are now offered in Nepal. Some of them BSc. CSIT, BE-IT, BIT, BCA, BE Computer Engineering and BE in software Engineering. Students of other disciplines can also enroll in programs like BCA.
Science and Technology
After plus two you may pursue various science and technology courses with specialization on particular subject of your interest such as Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, Statistics etc.
Management
If you find +2 sciences boring and want to change the fields, there are various Management courses for you. Studying Management after +2 in sciences won’t decrease your reputation in society and is not the sign of failure, but may open unlimited opportunities for you.

Scholarships to study abroad
Grants and scholarships are a great way to reduce your overall expenses on overseas education. A common misconception among scholars is that there are no scholarship opportunities available for international students. Governments and universities around the world value high performing students and have many scholarship programs designed to attract the best and the brightest minds in their country.
