Based in Hyderabad, Deepthi is a fun-loving and smart Class 10 student. She has always excelled in academics, especially Maths. In her free time, she draws fun pop culture-inspired characters. A month before her boards, she realised that she needed to choose subjects for Class 11. Since she has always scored well in Maths, she goes with the option. \u201cIsn\u2019t it obvious?\u201d she told her parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deepthi initially continued to score well but realised that while her strength is Maths, her interest isn\u2019t in this subject. Due to her good score, she opted for Bachelor in Science, and in a few months’ time, she was unhappy and dissatisfied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She wanted to pursue a career in graphic designing and art. \u201cOnly if I thought about my passion earlier, and worked on it long before Class 10!\u201d she thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deepthi is not the only one making this mistake. According to Business Wire, 51% of students are not confident in their career paths when they enroll in college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Do You Start Subject Selection For Class 11?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Considering what Deepthi and students like her face, it\u2019s clear that subject selection after Class 10 is not just an important step, but it also needs research, planning, and analysing. It\u2019s not a decision that can be made without any thought put into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Subject selection is the first right step, which impacts college selection and career as well. While many assume that this step comes towards the end of their high school, educators have time and again emphasised that planning your subjects for Class 11-12 needs to start way before Class 10 boards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Career guidance experts consider Class 8 as the right time to start the big conversation – \u201cWhat do you want to do in life?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With subject selection, it\u2019s no different! Beginning to understand your interests, strengths, and weaknesses right from Class 8 will initiate the gradual process towards narrowing down your subject options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Choose The Right Subjects for Class 11?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The range of subjects to choose from is enormous. While IB and Cambridge curricula offer as many as 50 subjects in different broad categories, CBSE and ICSE have three sections \u2013 Science, Commerce, and Arts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, with the National Education Policy 2020<\/a>, the government aims to increase the number of subjects available for students in the national curriculum as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While choosing a combination of subjects, experts suggest keeping in mind all the career options that follow. So, it\u2019s highly recommended to choose pre-requisite courses and additional subjects that add value to your future plans. At the same time, keeping in mind what courses you want to opt for in college will help you focus on those subjects during your Class 10 boards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

For instance, if you\u2019re interested in Science, your academic score in that subject in Class 10 boards makes a lot of difference when during your Class 11 admissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you score 90+ in Science and 70-80 in other subjects, you\u2019re most likely to get a seat because your score in key subjects for that particular course is high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
