MORE than one crore students sit for their 10+2 examination each year across India. Of these just over 15% get an opportunity to go for higher studies. And their choices have been uniform from time immemorial. The best go for MBBS. The next best to IITs for B.Techs. Others move into engineering. And the rest would do BA/B.Sc/BCom, unless one is talking about St.Stephen’s in Delhi where the best of the best try to enter.

However, there are many more options one choose, besides the usual suspects. For instance creative students could opt for design, fine arts or visual communication. If you are good with numbers, you can explore Charted Accountancy. If you aspire to be a top chef, you have hotel management. Allied medical science such as physiotherapy, have a demand in the heath care sector. Even a field like forensic sciences, needs skilled professionals.

So if you did not make the cut for Medicine do not worry. An integrated MSc in Nanomedicine would be as good if not a better career option for you. We list out the most popular ones in the following pages, along with a list of unique courses. Choose well!

Through the month of January, we shall make each of these links clickable. So, watch this space!

hello sir , i m in final year in civil engg. doing from indore. i want to chang my field after doing engg. i m very confused what should i do plz suggest.

a d narayanan | Feb 18, 2012

your opinion that after class 12 the best goes to MBBS and then to IIT and so on ,by this comment you are making those students who are going for BA,BCOMand BSC as less qualified.This is a very wrong assumption as students with more than 95% in class 12 and are capable to get admission for MBBS and IIT'Sare going for BA courses only because of their intrest in that courses and wish to pursue a different carrer other than medicine and engineering.On the other hand students with arond 50% marks will go for medicine and engineering by paying capitation fees and will become unusable doctors and engineers.so pl don't categorise students in that way

Neeraj Nirala | Feb 08, 2012
