Career Options After Class 10 and 12
Updated on: Aug 7, 2012
Deciding upon the right career after Class 12 can be quite tricky for both students and their parents. Should I continue with Science and opt for a B.Sc. degree or should I switch to Commerce? Should I opt for a three year regular course or should I go for a correspondence degree and opt for professional careers like CA, CS or Journalism? If you have scored less than your expectations in Class 12 boards, there is no need for panic or stress. There are options for all and options probably you haven't even thought of exploring.
Due to peer pressure, students end up taking wrong decisions in their careers and get into a field of study which does not really interest them and hence, they are not really able to achieve the heights in their careers which their parents dream for them or what they are actually capable of.
Students are advised to go through all the options mentioned below thoroughly before making a career decision. A little extra time that you spend here may help you go a long way in your career.
We have compiled several resources and articles on different career choices, detailed comparisons between degrees, various options after Class 12 based on percentage of marks, and Career Guidance tips and Career counseling after 10th and 12th from expert Counsellor, Pervin Malhotra.
Marks-wise Options for Students After Class 12
Comparing Degrees After Class 12
- Career Options For Students Scoring Below 50%
- Career Options For Science Students Scoring Between 50% and 60%
- Career Options For Commerce Students Scoring Between 50% and 60%
- Career Options For Science Students Scoring Between 60% and 80%
- Career Options For Commerce Students Scoring Between 60% and 80%
- Career Options For Science Students Scoring Above 80%
- Career Options For Commerce Students Scoring Above 80%
You can also start your professional life straight after Class 10 or Class 12 by appearing for some competitive exams to get recruited as Navy Officers, Naviks, Sailors, Personal Assistants, or Soldiers.
