What to do next – After 10th



As soon as the 10th standard exam gets over and results get out, students are at a crossroads of “What to do next?” This question pop-up from time to time and students find themselves in a dilemma whether to take the road less travelled or go for the one trodden by many. Numerous students find such questions intimidating if they are not clear about their career ambitions or how to reach it. With the end of school life, begins a life where you have to start taking some important decisions. It is important to have a clear career plan for smooth passage from your school life to a happy professional life. After 10th is the time to choose a stream and if you don’t have an in-depth knowledge of the choices that one has ahead of them, then they might land up in a career that is not made for you. It is common among students going through this transition phase to get influenced by misinformation and end up making wrong decisions.
Every student has a unique set of skills, strengths, and weaknesses and hence it’s very important to take a unique decision for every student. The career experts while offering career guidance after 10th explore the student's set of skills and help them choose the right career path. But before that students should need to know the different streams available to explore what they can opt for under their major subjects.


Commerce
The commerce stream is one of the popular choice in India, as most students feel that the stream offers them a wide arena of career options to pursue after class 12, that would bring them both success as well as financial security easily. However, what most students do not realize is that just as is the case with the science stream, a student also needs to have a certain aptitude for commerce to be completely successful in it. Some students may choose the Commerce stream for this reason. However, it is a fact that if they have a mind that is more suited to a career in the Humanities stream or even the Science stream, they would find it hard to survive and perform well in Commerce.

 The major subjects covered under the Commerce stream are:
  • Accountancy
  • Economics
  • Business Studies
  • Economics
  • Mathematics
  • Informatics Practices
  • English

Science
Science is a subject based on the systematic study by observation, experimentation and gathering of factual information and the formulation of theories to explain the behaviour of physical, chemical, atomic and subatomic systems. Such scientific studies help in the formulation of universal laws that help humans to know more about the world we live in and how various natural processes and phenomena occur. Science is a vast field and concerns almost everything that our eyes can see or cannot see. Everything in the universe can be studied under the field of science.

The major subjects covered under the Science stream are:
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Biotechnology
  • Computer Science

Arts / Humanities
Defining humanities is a difficult task. However, it can be said in a few words that it is an academic the discipline which deals with the study of the ‘Human Condition’, utilizing methodologies that are usually analytical, critical or speculative.

 The wide range of subjects that come under the umbrella term of Humanities ranges from history, languages, literature, law, philosophy, religion, performing arts, anthropology, communication, sociology, psychology and many more.



The major subjects covered under the Arts stream are:
  • History
  • Geography
  • Political Science
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • English
  • Hindi
  • Sanskrit
The anxiety felt by students and parents alike at this point in time is not really out of place as the decision regarding the stream, once made, would be a hard one to turn around and begin all over. Also, this decision would also open up several windows regarding the choice of careers, as well as close many others.

 This article offers students information and advice regarding the different subject under majors and in our upcoming blogs will give an idea of how to go about making this very important decision. For further detailed guidance, you can contact us or visit our centre at Remarkable Education.
