The FYJC Full Form is First Year Junior College which means 11th grade. There might be few people who have heard of the term FYJC because people generally do not call by this term.

FYJC Full Form in India

In India, this term is used specifically in Maharashtra. The full form of FYJC is First Year Junior College, i.e., 11th grade. Usually, these are part of normal colleges all over our country because we are offered UG and PG degrees after this. The undergraduation and the later part of college are called Senior college as it is different. The 12th grade is termed SYJC, and the full form of SYJC is Second-year Junior College.

In states like Karnataka, which is in the south part of India, we normally believe that the 11th and 12th grades are called PUC. PUC full form is Pre University College. They have PUC I and PUC II to separate them accordingly. Students should note that these nomenclatures are used by the state-run education boards, which the government handles. However, in CBSE, ISC, and IB, all these boards refer to them as class 11th and 12th.

FYJC Courses Offered

After class 10, students choose to pick one of the Arts, Commerce, and Science streams. Science is generally considered one of the most challenging because of many theories, but it is a promising stream. The main subjects in this stream are very common as they are Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

In class 11, students get to pick four subjects from any of the below electives:

Mathematics (For Engineering Aspirants)
Physics (Compulsory for Science)
Chemistry (Compulsory for Science)
Biology (For Medical Aspirants)
Computer Science
Business Studies (Commerce)
Accountancy (Commerce)
Geography
Economics (Commerce)
Physical Education

With Engineering or Medicine coming up as a new selection in mind, the elective choices are further reduced to the following, and they are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physical Education, and Biology.

Co-scholastic Work

Students need to participate in co-scholastic work, which has been described by their board syllabus and the respective school. It includes learning creative arts involved and also indulging in social work. While this part of the curriculum is not currently graded like the rest, it is instrumental in shaping students' character and morality while nurturing students' creativity.
