The application of the existing knowledge of science to develop practical applications is known as Applied Science. Inventions and technology are good examples.

Pure/basic/natural science is used to explain natural world phenomena. It is the use of scientific knowledge and processes to arrive at practical solutions to real-world issues. Technology is the application of engineering and medicine. There is an interaction between basic science and applied sciences to develop practical applications. Applied research uses methods and techniques, knowledge, and theories to arrive at solutions, especially for business.

Students can pursue a 3 year/4 year/5 year course depending on their specialization (Engineering or medicine) after completion of the 12th grade in science from a recognized university. Physics, chemistry, and mathematics are the required subjects.

There are hundreds of specialisation options for students to consider. Applied physics/mathematics, aerospace engineering, aeronautics and aviation, computer engineering, agronomy, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, botany, forensic science, food science, environmental engineering, genetics, molecular biology, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, health science and medicine, and applied linguistics are a few examples of specialisations.

Problem-solving, time management, thinking independently, persistence, innovative, critical, and analytical thinking are a few of the skills that need to be developed for this field.

Chemical technician, biotechnologist, game designer, forensic computer analyst, biomedical scientist, nuclear engineer, technical writer, physicist, pilot, environmental consultant, veterinarian, geologist, and food technologist are among the plethora of employment options for students.
