What To Choose After 10th? Which stream I can take ?- Tuition Rocks

What to choose after 10th science or commerce? Many times this question comes in career counselling and students get confused about it. About 10% of the students are very clear about what subjects they want to take however 90% of students are skeptical about it. More than that parents are equally in dilemma to change the school or continue in the same school.

Guys, today I will help you make a proper decision so that you can go ahead with confidence. When I was studying 10th way back in the year 1992 I was only given the option to take Stream depending upon the marks I scored. I had got 67% overall marks in my 10th CBSE.

Which stream to choose? As per marks, good schools were offering me Commerce. I didn’t have any interest in commerce.

I had later figured out that I actually was interested in science but it was too late to be showing in proof and the number was not matching my interest area.

So one School KV INA Colony in New Delhi offered me the Science stream. So I grabbed it.

Back then Science means only PCMB, unlike today. So I took it and got 71% and got ranking of 1400 in KCET and ultimately joined engineering in Electronics and Communications Engineering NIE Mysore.

But right now the situation is not same as those days. Things have been completly changed over the period. Now the basis on which students select their streams are based on several different parameters.

There are hundreds of youtube videos available to bombard you with information.
That’s the information constipation. Unfortunately, you can’t say let me study 1 month science 1-month commerce and 1-month arts and then I can take the profound decision which subjects to take. It is not going to happen now as well as in the future.
Entering a particular stream is just based on mere inclination towards that subject line.

No body takes a profound decision after 10^th. They just take a decision and make it right. Marks doesn’t say what to choose its just numerical data for others to judge how you have performed in the past. It doesn’t talk about your likings of the subjects at all. Neither does it say what you will become in future.

If you like calculations, Business field, Stock Market, Public Policy, International Events and hold average interest towards science subjects then no doubt you can go for Commerce. Believe me, you will not go wrong

If you have a good interest in History and Politics and really want to do good in a language ,Social Work and Betterment of Society. If you feel like you are good in narrating stories and would like to study more in the story form, you can can definitely go for Humanities.
