“Science, Commerce, or Arts?”
If you're a student who has just finished class 10th or a parent of one, you've probably heard this question more times than you can count. It’s the first big decision in a student’s academic life, and let’s face it: it can be baffling and confusing.
The pressure to make the “right” choice can feel intense. You might hear, “Science has more scope,” or “Commerce is for business-minded people,” or even, “Arts is only for creative students.” But let’s bust the myth: every stream has potential—what matters is finding what fits you best.
The subjects you choose after 10th will shape your college admissions, career path, and even your interests in the years to come. But how do you figure out what’s right for you when you’re still discovering yourself? That’s where expert career guidance and career counselling steps in.
What is the role of Aptitude and Psychometric assessments?
One of the most effective tools in career counselling is aptitude and psychometric assessments. These tests are designed to measure a student’s natural abilities, aptitude, cognitive strengths, and personality traits. The results can provide invaluable insights into which fields a student might excel in and enjoy.
Aptitude tests assess skills like logical reasoning, numerical ability, verbal skills, and spatial intelligence, mechanical ability, and clerical skills. Psychometric tests, on the other hand, delve deeper into personality traits, interest preferences, emotional intelligence, and behavioural tendencies. When combined, these assessments offer a holistic view of a student’s strengths and areas for development, helping career counsellors suggest career paths that are best suited to the individual.
For instance, a student who excels in logical reasoning and math, may be well-suited for fields like engineering or data science, while someone who scores high on creativity and emotional intelligence might thrive in design, arts, or counselling roles. These personalized insights help avoid the common mistake of pursuing a career path based solely on societal pressures, friend’s influences, or parental expectations.
