Think of your childhood and your present age and figure out what you like doing the most. I remember during my childhood I used have a carry bag in which I had many wires, batteries, bulb, motors and other electronic parts which I used to collect and then used them to make some devices. I used to get completely engrossed in them for hours (I still have that bag at my home). Also, during my class 12th standard project (which we have to make in CBSE) I wanted to make something new, creative and so my project was Wireless transmission of electricity. This helped me figure out my subject of interest. Similarly think about things you like doing. If you are curious about technology then go for engineering, curious about how human body works and bio related stuffs then go for MBBS or such type of course, like designing then go for Architecture or Designing courses, love to write then start a blog, have good speaking skills then become a motivational speaker, etc.

Hi Chandramani,
The main difference in the certificates provided by CBSE and NIOS is that the former one provides them by school teaching method while the latter one gives them by distance mode of education. In CBSE, students have to attend school and the examinations are conducted in regular intervals for getting the pass certificate. In NIOS, students have to prepare from home and give the examination for the whole syllabus at mentioned dates. Coming to the value of these boards, both national boards are autonomous under the MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE AND DEVELOPMENT (MHRD) and the certificates provided by them are valid everywhere in INDIA and in certain institutions abroad. So, both the boards are equal and valid.
