What after 10th?

If you are among one of those students who are perplexed in choosing the right path after your 10th, well, do not worry. We are going to help you to choose the
right path.

It’s not so hard to choose your stream once you have found the path in which your interests and dislikes lie, the subjects your good at, and the most important
factor is that you should work hard in achieving your goals.

In India, the students have many career paths to choose from. Here’s the list of the following streams the students can opt from:

In the arts stream, there are many fields to choose from. This stream offers subject such as English, Hindi, History, Geography, Political Science, Psychology,
Sanskrit and Sociology, for the higher secondary level. But one has to opt for four compulsory subjects in addition to English and a Modern Indian Language. If
you are interested to pursue a career in Mass Media, Journalism, Literature, Languages, Sociology, Social Service, Human Psychology, History, Geography,
