Can I take science if I am weak in maths?
Yes, but first separate a temporary gap in maths from a persistent dislike of mathematical work. Some science combinations and later courses demand substantial maths, while biology focused paths may require less advanced maths.
A useful next step
Review your Class 9 and 10 maths topics, try a two week practice plan, and examine the exact subject combination your school offers.
For example
Try sample Class 11 chapters before making the decision, not only easier Class 10 revision.
One question people ask next
Should I avoid science entirely?
Not necessarily. If maths feels difficult because of missing basics, targeted practice may change your options. If you consistently dislike quantitative work, examine other subject combinations honestly.
Your quick check
- Compare sample Class 11 chapters
- Check future course eligibility
- Talk through workload and interests
Keep in mind
Do not assume biology means no calculations; science still involves quantitative reasoning.
Use this answer as a starting point. Your subjects, finances, interests and local opportunities can change the best next step. For admission, eligibility, licensing or immigration decisions, always check the responsible institution's current official information.
