Hello Aspirant

This is a problem that everyone faces when they have to choose a stream in 11th grade and this is where our educational systems lag, making us choose one stream. But this is a debate for some other time.

The easiest way to choose your stream in 11th is to see which subject you are good at. If you get good marks in science and math, then you can choose PCM/PCB. If you get good marks in social science and English, then you may choose Arts. If you like Economics or wish to become a CA then you can go for commerce.

It still sometimes happens that this method does not work, in that case, go with your gut feeling. I had scored 9.2 CGPA in my 10th grade and had no idea what to choose. My family gave me the liberty to choose anything and on a whim, I chose Science. After my 12th, I had no idea what to do. I took a year off and started preparing for IPMAT, but to no avail because my math was really bad (I scored 52/100 in my math 12th board exams). During that drop year, I realized I had a great deal of interest in English, so I opted for a BA in English and became the Gold Medalist of my batch, scoring the highest aggregate in the class. Now I'm in Christ Uni, Blr, and will be doing my PhD afterward. What I'm trying to say is that it's okay if you don't know what to choose in 11th or where your interest lies, because everything works out in the end. Think with a calm mind and trust the process.

Hope this helps
