Exploring Diverse Paths after Tenth Grade.
The results for the 10th class exams have been released, revealing an impressive pass rate of over 99.7%. These exams were taken by a staggering number of over four lakh students.

AFTER 10TH?
This is a common concern shared by both children and parents. It's natural to feel overwhelmed due to the abundance of options available. Making a well-informed decision, considering the child's unique personality traits, creativity, preferences, interests, and skills, is key to ensuring future success. Let's explore some significant courses that can be selected, taking into account these various factors. For detailed information, it is advisable to visit the respective websites of these courses.

Higher Secondary (Plus Two):
This phase witnesses the majority of students opting for it after completing 10th grade. There are 46 combinations available across science, commerce, and humanities streams. It is crucial to have a clear direction and choose appropriate combinations after completing plus two. Although selecting science subjects may entail a slightly higher learning workload, it opens up numerous possibilities for further studies.

To pursue fields such as engineering, medicine, and science, opting for the science stream is essential. For those inclined towards humanities, languages, literature, and related subjects, the humanities stream is a suitable choice. The commerce stream focuses on subjects like commerce, accounting, and economics. The allocation process will be facilitated through a centralized single window system. It is important to submit separate applications for each district. For more information,
