Physics, chemistry, maths in class 12 not mandatory for architecture: AICTE

Physics, chemistry and maths will no longer be mandatory subjects for admission to undergraduate courses in architecture, according to the approval process handbook for 2022–23 released by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) on Tuesday.

The other two courses which will not mandatorily require PCM subjects in class 12 are fashion technology and packaging technology.
