Possible Candidates for SUSY SO(10) Model with an Intermediate Scale

We study the possibility of an intermediate scale existing in supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories: The intermediate scale is demanded to be around 10^{12} GeV so that neutrinos can obtain masses suitable for explaining the experimental data on the deficit of solar neutrino with Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein solution and the existence of hot dark matter. We show that any Pati-Salam type intermediate symmetries are excluded by requiring reasonable conditions and only $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R \times SU(3)_C\times U(1)_{B-L}$ is likely to be realized as an intermediate symmetry.
