There are several options for computer science students in Pakistan. If you have done your ICS, you can do many things. The details are given in the following paragraphs.
ICS stands for Intermediate in Computer Science. This course includes three compulsory subjects with other combinations of subjects. You can check my detailed post on ICS subjects for 1st year class 11.
Must Read:
Your ICS Combination matters
Yes, there are 6 subjects you study in ICS: English, Urdu, Islamic Education/Pak Study, Computer Science, Mathematics OR Economics, States or Physics.The main thing is the combination you study in ICS. You may have studied one of the following combinations in your ICS course.
English, Urdu, Islamic Education/Pak Study and:
- Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science
- Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
- Economics, Computer Science and Mathematics
- Computer Science, Statistics and Economics
So, with any combination, your ICS is considered ICS. Now you might be looking for what you can do if you have passed your ICS.
What to do After ICS in Pakistan
That is the 1st question after you leave your examination center on the last paper of your ICS part 2 (that is of course if you have quite good hope of passing it).
Now you can do what is best for you. I have only given here the possible options that you can choose from.
Your ICS maybe with stats or with economics or with maths, you can still go into the following fields if you pass your ICS with decent marks.
The Study Fields for ICS Students
1. BCS OR BSCS
BCS stands for Bachelor in Computer Science. It is simply a further level of formal education in computer science. This your 1st degree in computer science.
This is not a professional course or degree. It is just your graduation in Computer science. You can also do a BS in Computer Science (BSCS), a 4 years degree program which is equivalent to MCS (Masters in computer science)
Scope:
- You can do MCS (master in computer science) after BCS.
- You can also take some higher-level courses like 3D animation, Database administration, ADMCP, MSc IT, Master in business administration, etc.
- After completing your BCS or BSCS you can do the job in banks, Computer manufacturing companies, schools, and colleges, Libraries, govt. institutions, Software and hardware companies, financial institutions and consultancies etc.

If you have done your ICS with physics, you can do a BS in Space science. This field is also good for students who want to work on mega projects by space agencies and environmental institutions.
Scope:
- You can work as a space analyst, program manager, project manager, project officer, site manager, field officer etc.
- You can work with space agencies, space exploration projects, environmental projects, etc.
6. B.Sc in Mathematics or Statistics
You can do B.Sc in Mathematics or statistics if you have studied mathematics or statistics in your ICS course. Mathematics is a good subject and you can even do M.Phil or PhD in Mathematics and statistics.
Scope:
- You can become a lecturer of professor of mathematics or statistics

Marks Matter
Whatever you plan to do after your ICS, you must keep in mind that you will face difficulty in getting admission if you have poor marks in ICS.
