Courses & Competitive Exams for Class 10th Students

Students after class 10^th examinations are often caught in a dilemma for next step for further studies. Their next course or study stream should be dependent on their aptitude, likes and dislikes and interests areas. While there are certain courses for which they need to take entrance exams,  for others, they can take direct admission on the basis of their class 10^th marks. Most common and popular courses   after class 10^th are: 

·         Science for your higher secondary if they want to go for majors in the subjects such as Physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, computer science, pursue BTech, etc. 

·         Commerce, if they want to pursue high studies in Business Management, Economics, CA/ CS, etc. 

·         Humanities or Arts, if they want to pursue higher studies in Creative fields or languages, explains a senior career counselor at one of the best senior secondary schools in Faridabad.

However vocational career options is also available for those  who want to take up jobs after 10^th/12^th class . Vocational courses, basically focus on practical knowledge which offer career opportunities right after schooling through training and development of skills. There are few popular courses such as – Jewellery Designing, fashion designing, interior designing, safety and cyber laws, fire safety, etc. Also, senior career counselors at few best schools in Faridabad explain that there are different institutions run by Government of India, private aided and local bodies who offer vocational courses too. One usually secures a  Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma after completing six semesters after Class 10^th or 12^th, says a career counselor at one of the top senior secondary schools inFaridabad.

Then there are other options, like ITI (Industrial Training Institute) course, polytechnic course and KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana). Students who want to pursue a technical course at a lower cost can go one of the ITI programs. Polytechnic courses are basic engineering technical courses after 10^th. There is another benefit of these courses. Students pursuing polytechnic diploma course can laterally move into the second year of technical degree (like BTech) course through a competitive exam, advised a tenured career counselor at one of the best schools in Faridabad. KVPY is a National Program of Fellowship in Basic Sciences started by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
