After 10 th a student’s life goes for a big change. While class 10th is animportant milestone in a school student's life, it is also the starting point of one's career. It is now that the student takes up subjects of choice, preparesfor courses after 12th and puts focused efforts for better career prospects in

future. It is often seen that students do not take the best decision andchoose stream after 10th which is not fit for them and get influenced be!ternal factors. "here are man decisions that are to be taken.

• Which stream After 10 th should I choose?• Which courses After 10 th should I choose?• Should I take coaching for competitive exams After 10 th ?• Should I take state board or CBSE board after 10th ?

These are all important questions that trouble a student when he isin class 10th and here are the answers

1. ou should choose that stream after 10th that matches with !ouraptitudes and personalit! and keep options "or "uture open. #ere it isimportant to understand that one must take an aptitude test to knowabout the aptitudes and personalit! and $et recommendations "rome%perts "or the best suited stream after 10 th .

&. There is no best stream after 10th . 'll the streams like science(commerce and humanities o)er $ood sub*ects and o)er +arious

opportunities to enter into +er! $ood careers and opt "or $ood courses

after 12th . There is not much merit in choosin$ a particular stream , like

science - i" !ou ultimatel! plan to take up career that naturall! belon$s to

other stream. So( choose wisel! and do not $o b! public opinion alone.. '"ter !ou ha+e decided broadl! which stream !ou will opt "or( then

comes the option o" choosin$ the sub*ect combination. /ike should !ou opt"or commerce with maths( !ou should !ou choose C with economics orcomputers etc. Well the choice o" sub*ect depends on what careers2courses !ou are "ocusin$ on after 12 th that is keepin$ the eli$ibilit! inmind. E$ is !ou want to $o "or economics #ons then !ou should ha+emaths( i" !ou plan to take up computer en$ineerin$ then computers will be

$ood with C ( i" !ou plan to stud! bio chemistr! then !ou should ha+eCB with mathematics. /ike that !ou must plan and choose.

Sometimes it has also been seen that people choose ph!sical education asa sub*ect thinkin$ that this is an eas! sub*ect and the! will $et more time

to stud! other sub*ects. /ittle do the! reali3e that the! are missin$ animportant opportunit! to learn a $ood sub*ect and probabl! riskin$a career option after 12 th .

4. 'lmost e+er! student asks this question( whether the! should $o "orcoachin$ "or competiti+e e%ams. Well m! answer is simple i" !ou cana)ord it !ou should take it. The coachin$ centres help !ou with the patterno" e%am and studies become more methodical but i" !ou can do it !oursel" !ou can do without takin$ coachin$ also. 'nd speciall! i" !ou are not

plannin$ to $i+e a particular entrance ,like en$ineerin$ or medical- then!ou can take indi+idual2 $roup tuitions to suit !our needs and prepare withlast !ear5s papers etc.

6. 'nother question that students ha+e to tackle is to take up state boardor CBSE or ISCE or an! other. Well it depends what is !our $oal after 12 th .7or e%ample !ou are "ocusin$ on national competiti+e e%ams then !oushould take up CBSE board as the s!llabus is same. I" !ou are bankin$more on state le+el e%ams then !ou should be $ood with state board. Thechoice should also depend on which school !ou are thinkin$ and whatteachers and past record the school has. This is an important decision andmake this decision a"ter due deliberations and a"ter collectin$ the rele+antin"ormation "rom all the a+ailable sources.

8. 'nother question o" strai$ht awa! $oin$ "or *ob oriented courses,9iploma5s etc- arises after 10 th and one ma! think o" lea+in$ the schooland $oin$ "or these courses. Well we o"ten ad+ise students that i" there isnot much :nancial compulsion then one should complete class 12 th andthen take up *ob oriented courses. 7or a success"ul career in "uture one

should $et the ma%imum education possible and most o" the reputedcourses are a+ailable after 12 th or a"ter $raduation "or which completin$schoolin$ or class 12 th is important.

The ri$ht method to choose !our stream a"ter 10th is as "ollows;

1. Take a s!chometric 'ssessment to map !our <eal Talents

ou see s!chometric test is not *ust an 'ptitude test.

We at ap !Talent ha+e our own standardised and +alidated

s!chometric Test b! the name !Talent Test( this test primaril! *ud$es a person across se+en di)erent aptitudes and twent!ei$ht di)erent personalit! traits and understands the =nique
