Now that the Class 10 results are out -- the Class 12 results were recently declared -- students and their parents are wondering how to choose the best course and college. Which entrance exams should they give? Which course offers them the best combination for their future?
Choosing the right career is one of the most crucial decisions you'll ever take; it can make or mar your life.
While the Internet is full of resources offering you information on the newest courses, entrance exams and the fanciest colleges in your city and in the country, you will need to make the final decision.
Some of the questions you are trying to find answers to could be:
If I like both science and arts, how do I pick the right stream?
Should I choose a college that is closer to home in order to save time for studies or should I apply to a top ranked university that offers a good course but in a different city?
What are some of the basic criteria that will help me decide which is the best college and university after Class 10 or Class 12?
If I don't like a particular course or institute, is it possible to switch streams later? How will this affect my career?
Which are the best colleges and courses for Indian students who want to study abroad? How does one prepare for the same?
What are some of the top competitive exams to consider after Class 12?
What is the best time to start preparing for the IIT-Joint Entrance Exam, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or the Common Admission Test?
If I don't have the time and/or resources, is it possible to crack the UPSC after Class 12 without additional coaching?
