This article is your go-to guide to help you select the most suitable line of study. I know you’re in the state of random confusion because you don’t know which subjects would work out best for you.
This is a real problem to many students because of the lack of guidance and counselling from a credible source.
Because your friends say you should select Pre-Engineering because boys usually select it. Parents say you should select Pre-Medical because they want to see you as a doctor. A storm of opinions and options would leave you clueless regarding your future.
But nobody thinks that everybody is born with unique qualities. Some students can easily discover it in their early age, but most students are unable to find it by themselves. Seeking help in finding your passion and area of interest is not a matter of shame. We’re here to help you in just the right way. Let’s see how.
1st year subjects
So, here are the 5 fields that you can select after your SSC Part II exams:
1. Pre-Medical:
It is the most difficult field and you have to study the following subjects in 2 years:
- Biology
Biology is the study of life and its origins. It covers everything from the structure and function of cells to the evolution and behavior of species. Biology is an important field for understanding human health and well-being, as well as the causes of environmental damage.
- Physics
Physics is the study of the physical universe, its origins and evolution, and the properties of matter and energy. In physics, we use mathematics to describe how things work, and to explore the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter and energy. Physics has helped us to understand how the universe works at its smallest level, from subatomic particles to entire galaxies.
- Chemistry
Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the properties and interactions of chemicals. It is one of the oldest and most important sciences, and its discoveries have had a significant impact on many fields of study. Chemistry is divided into many subfields, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. Each branch of chemistry has its own unique set of research challenges and opportunities.
- English
English is the world’s most widely spoken language, with over 1.3 billion speakers. It is the official language of the United States and British Commonwealth countries, as well as several other countries. English is also a major language in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Nigeria. In addition, it is the official language of education in many countries.
- Urdu
- Pak Studies
- Islamiyat
The first 3 subjects are difficult to most students especially Chemistry and Physics that are the nightmares to many.
Listen students, if you want to be a doctor and want to select this field, then you have to study hard, Really hard! Because more than 55,000 students take the MDCAT Entry Test where only 4 to 5 thousand students are selected.
The minimum aggregate should be 85%. It means you must have 85% in SSC, HSSC and Entry Tests if you want to be selected in government medical college.
There are some other medical tests too like NUMS, then but hard work is needed everywhere.
And you must have knowledge that the books of SSC have only 120 to 160 pages per book, but in HSSC the number of pages get doubled – 300 to 400 pages.
And You have to same time so does SSC, in order words, more syllabus that you have to cove in a year.
That’s why, in college it takes a lot of time to cover the syllabus. For your information, in many government colleges the whole syllabus is not taught.
The reason? The reason is that they start covering syllabus in October and they have to cover before April.It is difficult to them, but in academy it is started from very the next day when papers come to an end of matric students.
So if you want to get high marks, then you have to join academy, and start hard work.
This 2 years will predict your future. Because in MDCAT and NUMS, the aggregate is:
- 10% SSC
- 40% HSSC
- 50% Entr Test
So you have to work and manage time accordingly.
If you are studying Pre-Medical so that you can study other fields like Biotechnology, DVM and Molecular Genetics then you have to get some high marks in order to get admission in good universities.

Of course, they take admission in other fields.
