Yes, you can pursue graduation in medical coding after 12th, even without an IT background.

Medical coding programs typically accept students from various streams, including arts and commerce. A background in life sciences can be helpful but is not mandatory. Key requirements are completion of 12th grade, good English skills, attention to detail, and basic computer literacy.

To build a career in medical coding, consider enrolling in a structured training or certification program after 12th. Certifications like CPC (Certified Professional Coder) or CCA (Certified Coding Associate) can improve your job prospects.

If you need guidance on suitable programs or next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
