Arts/Humanities vs Science/commerce

Arts/Humanities, Science, and Commerce are three distinct streams that students can choose after completing their 10th standard. Each stream has its own unique characteristics and provides different opportunities to students. Arts/Humanities stream focuses on the study of human society and culture, including history, languages, literature, philosophy, political Science, and sociology. It is an excellent stream for students who are interested in pursuing careers in areas such as teaching, journalism, media, law, civil services, social work, and the creative arts. Science stream focuses on the study of the natural world, including Physics Chemistry Biology mathematics, and computer Science. It is an excellent stream for students who are interested in pursuing careers in areas such as engineering, medicine, research and development, information technology, and pure sciences. Commerce stream focuses on the study of business and finance, including accounting, economics, management, and entrepreneurship. It is an excellent stream for students who are interested in pursuing careers in areas such as banking, finance, accounting, management, and business administration. In terms of career opportunities, all three streams offer diverse and rewarding career options. Each stream has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and it is important for students to choose a stream based on their interests, strengths, and career goals. Ultimately, it is the student's passion, hard work, and dedication that will determine their success, regardless of the stream they choose.

As a survey done by Oxford University, Indian parent believe in degree which have good job opportunity and in my view in India arts / humanities do not have good future, when we compare it with science or commerce. But, if you want to study in foreign countries like Italy or London, then one can make a good career in arts and humanities.

When we are comparing these streams one should keep in mind in which of them will a student excel? A student with high grade in arts will always have better career choice than one with low grade in science. Seeing the current trends my choice is commerce stream provided you are comfortable with numbers.

The reason for this mindset is Science students can go for Arts / BA course if they are interested in it. Same time they can also pursue higher studies in Science and Technology and Medical and Allied Health too. But if one student has completed HSc in Humanities, he can go for courses in Arts only. This is the main thing behind this mindset. Of course, Arts is a good option for higher education. Apart from tradition BA courses in Languages, Economics,History,Sociology etc. now a days have more choices to select. A. Journalism and Mass Communication B. Visual Communication(BSc) C. Hotel Management(BHM/BSc-HM) D. Law/ LLB (5 Years Integrated) E. Goegraphy / Geology (BSc) HSc- with Geography is mandatory Etc. HSc - Humanities with Geography as a subject of study , can join forBSc -Geology course. BSc-Geology is purely a science course, but HSc-Humanities with Geography can join for both Geology and Geography courses. Humanties students, who are interested in Business Administration can got for BBA(Bachelor of Business Administration) and later to MBA / M Com. Like this Commerce students also have option to divert their area of study.For example Commerce with Computer Science / Computer Applications , have option to divert into Computer Science / Information Technology.They can join for Bachelor of Computer Applications(BCA) and BSc Computer Science courses. Commerce with Mathematics as Optional subject can pursue higher education in Maths(BSc- Maths), Architecture -B Arch, etc. Aslo for Graduation in Law(LLB) , BBA, Visual Communication, Languages, Hospitality Management etc. Both Commerce / Science and Arts Graduates / PGs can practice teaching profession and prepare for competitive Examinations including Civil Services. Now analyse all the courses and chose a best option. Regards SEHEER A KADER OTTAYIL CAREER EXPERT - vidyacareeers.com Email : zeheerottayil@gmaill.com

Arts has a wider scope than commerce and science. In arts we have a wide range of options. we can go for fashion designing,mass communication,teaching,hotel management and we can prepare for competitive exams too. and most impt thing is every stream has its own importance. so you should choose the stream in which u are having interest.

I think the basic reason for this notion is because there is lot of unawareness of what are the options one can take after arts and humanities and people in India know only about engineer,doctor,IAS etc as a career and they want to be on the safer side

HI All There is a need of lot career counselling across various sections of the society to break this mindset because even the traditional streams like engineering,B.com etc. are over crowded and its hard to find employment in these areas.

Arts & Humanities are placed at the bottom of the education pyramid due to variety of factors like possible professional implications, employment opportunities, commercial applications and for other unknown reasons.

Hi, Other than the fact the wrong notion that a science and commerce course pays more long term the other reason is that the humanities and the arts stream are taught horribly in India.i mean seriously where in the world do you have to mug up everything to vomit it in exams.?.in most schools music classes students are asked to follow routine songs where you can't experiment with yourself and marks are given based on how flashy your notebook is.
