To pursue a Botany course, you need to opt for Biology as a core subject in Class 12. Since PCM does not include Biology, and Botany studies the plant life including their structure, growth, reproduction, physiology, ecology, evolution, and environmental interactions, you will not be eligible for Botany course admission.
