Subject selection in 11th

After the 10th examination, there comes a turning point in the life of students - selection of subjects in 11th class. This decision decides the direction of career. Therefore, it is important that this selection is made thoughtfully and after sufficient research. Here we are sharing information about the process related to this -

Understanding yourself:

Identify interest and ability. Subject selection begins with understanding yourself. Think about which subjects you like to study? Which subjects do you not realize the time while studying? Despite being interested, is your performance good in that subject? Do not choose a subject only by looking at the marks or due to hobby.

Research is important:

It is very important to know which career options open up from each subject or stream. Gather information about various professions. Get information from YouTube, career websites and government portals. Talk to professionals or take career counseling.

Options and their meaning:

Generally there are four major streams - Science (Maths or Biology, Physics and Chemistry) for engineering, medical, research etc. Commerce for accounting, business, finance, CA, MBA. Arts or Humanities for journalism, sociology, history, psychology. Vocational studies for fashion designing, hotel management, tourism.

Look at future prospects:

Some subjects are popular today, but their demand may decrease after five or ten years. So see in which field opportunities will increase in future, like data science, AI.

Consider all aspects:

Financial condition, resources, guidance etc. affect the decisions. Decide whether you will be able to provide future needs in the relevant stream or not.

Counselling or tests:

Nowadays many institutes and websites offer psychometric tests, which give career suggestions according to your interest and ability. Consult a career counsellor. Talk to seniors. Know the experiences of students studying in 11th-12th or who have gone to college.
