CAREER OPTIONS




What should I study after my tenth standard/ higher secondary? Which field should I choose to progress in my career? Will this field suits my interests and aptitude? Are there enough opportunities in a particular field of study? These are some of the questions which arise in the mind of children right from the age of eleven or twelve. 

In today’s world the opportunities are aplenty. In India also there are upcoming fields which students may choose as a career option. Traditionally engineering, medicine, basic sciences has been and continues to be the preferred options. With the advent of globalization and opening up the economy, the opportunities are aplenty.  The huge foreign investments that the government is allowing to come into India have given a new fillip to the employment. The demand for professionalism, efficiency and facing competitive environment has opened new vistas for the Indian students.
