Vocational Courses after Class 10
You should consider yourself lucky to be in an era where you are spoiled with choices. If you feel that academics is not your forte and you will not be scoring good grades to pursue Class 12 in stream of your choice – then there is little reason to be disheartened. Not all can manage a A or A+ or even a B+ but it does not mean that it’s the end of the road. Today you can still make a career, earn a respectable living and make it big even if you do not complete formal education.
Option1: You can enroll in Class 12 preferably Arts stream, as it will help you to concentrate on additional courses of your choice. You can pursue vocational courses in computer hardware, typewriting, stenography, electric technician, beautician and tailoring.
Option 2: You can directly join a vocational course under any affiliated institute and complete your Class 12 through Open Schooling.
