Often times, students are troubled with different questions about their higher secondary education. What to do after 10th? Which stream to select for 11th? Frequently, in the name of career guidance, many students completely resort to other’s ideas and interests. This can lead to getting into a stream of study and the career path that does not match one’s aptitude, interests, and personality.

Here we discuss 5 most essential factors to help students decide the right stream for them after class 10:

It is advisable for the students to attend career guidance seminars and educational fairs where the experts can assist in discovering the student’s potential and aptitude and accordingly suggest the right stream. For more clarification, a student can personally visit a career counsellor who will conduct tests to explore out a student’s aptitude, interest and personality to consequently find out the stream that will best suit him.

Parents and teachers are among those experienced people who can easily judge the inner strengths and interests of a student. Both serve as a major influence in a child’s decision- making actions.

4. Have Awareness about the Streams:

Find out every minute detail about the stream like subjects, difficulty level, higher education courses and career prospects, etc. Also, list down details about professional courses that one may pursue after passing class 12 with a particular stream. Making list of professional courses will help you get an idea about career prospects associated with that stream.

Make sure to choose a stream that matches your own interest, potential, and ability. Do not simply follow the crowd.

In summary, it is important that students understand that everyone is unique and each individual has his/ her personality preferences. Finding the right stream after 10th that matches one’s personality will improve the chances of career success and job satisfaction.
