SELECTING SUBJECT IN CLASS 11TH
As you breathe a sigh of relief after
completing your Class 10 Board Exams, you are at a crossroads of an important
decision, which subject stream to choose in Class 11 that will lead to a
successful career. This can be a difficult time for students who are yet to
learn about their career ambitions or how to reach them.
Only a small fraction of students
knows exactly what they want from their careers and which subject stream they
need to select in order to succeed. A majority of students need support to help
them decide their next step. Most of the students take decisions based on what
their peers and parents think would be good for them. Very few students take help
of the professionals and their teachers. If you really want to take very
precise decision here are some tips I am sharing with you.
Tip 1: Become
self-aware:
In Class 10, you
study six subjects: Hindi, English,Sanskrit, Mathematics, Science and Social science. So
you have had enough time to know the subjects that you score well in and enjoy
studying versus those that you dislike. You have to choose from Math, Science
and SS. Here you can take decision following these steps-
1.
Subjects
you want to leave
2.
Subjects
you want to continue
For subjects you
are confused about, for example mathematics you should ask yourself questions
like:
·
Do
I really like Mathematics?
·
Am
I good at it and could I be better if I had the right guidance and coaching?
Tip 2: Learn
about new subjects: Explore few of the new subjects and their scope
You already have information about
subjects such as – Science, Social Studies and Mathematics. Class 11 brings
with it the option to choose many new subjects that you have not done earlier
such as Agriculture, Sociology, Economics, Biotechnology, Home science etc.
Find out subject options available at your school and try to learn more about
them. It will be helpful to speak to seniors who know the coursework to help
you know more.
Tip 3: Think
about your long term career goals
This is a tough but important step.
Think about your future and work accordingly to where you are today. You should
ask yourself – What is important to you? As you know there is very few
chance to get government jobs you should always keep your plan B ready. The science
students can change their stream but commerce or arts students can’t. Don’t go
by the fascination. Are you someone who likes structure and working
independently or are you someone who likes to work as part of a team? Do you
like routine or do you prefer flexibility? These are important questions that
help you understand the kind of career you should choose and then decide the
best Subject stream that would lead you there.
