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.
