Good to SEE your orientation which is missing now-a-days in many students. Choosing a stream is purely your discretion as every selected stream has wide career prospects if you are selecting considering your interest. The streams which you have mentioned are broad and have very different salient features with other related options so cannot give all details, but you can have a guidance by checking your skills from: https://www.lpu.in/admission/career_assessment.php But I can advise you to select a good institution such as LPU to pursue your studies. As an educational consultant I keep an eye on the rankings, content, pedagogy and placements by various universities. On the parameters, I have come to conclusion that LPU is serving best to the students. To initiate with rankings, LPU is recognised by the UGC, COA, PCI, AIU, NCTE, ICAR. Internationally, LPU is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business School and Programs (ACBSP) and a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). #Let me brief you about the rankings that LPU has to its credit; the latest NIRF (2020) has ranked LPU as top 80 amongst all private and government institutes. MHRD, government and has already fetched many. #Keeping in view, the quality education at affordable pricing, LPU offers scholarships for various programs. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible students to secure good placement. #The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. Several big brands of the industry have visited LPU campus during academic sessions. Students are also provided with on job trainings, industrial exposures inculcating in them modern management skills. #The experienced staff which is deputed to teach and guide is experienced one and is meeting the norms of UGC. The pedagogy which is undertaken to teach students is always updated with new initiatives like flip classroom, more discussions etc. This is a place where a student develops confidence and takes initiatives, develops entrepreneurial abilities and learn to survive in challenging conditions. #The connect between the students and faculty is marvellous as personal mentors are allotted to every faculty which I can be sure no other institute is providing. I will advise you to explore the interest and plan the admission (if interested in Diploma course )accordingly.

Choosing the stream at class XI is the crucial and tough as it will decide our career and future roads. Thus, for this question, my only answer will be think deep inside you and carefully judge yourself as the answer is within us. To choose stream we should consider our liking subjects and the subjects that we feel are easy to study andeasily pass. Like if a candidate is good with numbers I would suggest to choose Commerce and if he loves to explore with theories he/she should take arts and If a candidate love to prove the thing systematically and scientifically he or she should go for Science.

Firstly, decide what you want to become and then find out what's the way towards that and remember that don't decide your stream just on the basis of your percentage, do consider your interest in education.

Choosing your subjects after class X is a very crucial decision. It is understandably met with a lot of anxiety and confusion both on the part of parents and students alike. Students and parents usually base this decision on class X board marks. While the performance in class X final examinations is a fair indication of the student's hold over academic subjects, it should not be taken as an indicator of the level of aptitude and interest in any given area. There are factors like the student's motivation or interest that play a really important role. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind while deciding your stream after class X: - Inquire about the subject combinations offered in your school at the +2 level. Wrap your head around all the streams and optional subjects. - Evaluate your interests and aptitude. Consider co-curricular activities and take the help of your friends. - Jot down a career plan with 3-4 options. - Take advice from experienced adults.
