1) The document discusses factors that students consider when choosing a stream after Class 10, such as perceived intelligence level, prestige, ease, and family trends. 2) It notes that the intelligence levels are the same across streams and that career options exist in all streams. 3) The document recommends a three-step process for choosing a stream: self-assessment, exploring career options, and taking guidance from others. It emphasizes choosing a stream that matches one's interests and capabilities.

1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT STREAM IN
CLASS XITH

2. Most students choose a stream because
of some general perceptions like…
• Requires high level of intelligence
• High prestige
Science
Commerce
• High scoring subjects
• Plenty of job opportunities
• An evergreen field
• Safe option
• Family trend
• Less competition
• Not good enough to study science or
commerce
• No hard work required
• At least attain a degree
Humanities

3. And also because of….
…their parents’ aspirations
…traditionally well known
professions in their society
…choice of their friends or relatives
…inaccurate, incomplete and biased knowledge

4. The facts…
The intelligence level of students studying Humanities
or Commerce is same as a Science student
The career options for Humanities and Commerce
streams are enormous.
Humanities is a wide field of study, with extremely
interesting and mind-stimulating career options.
All Humanities subjects are as scoring as Science
subjects

5. Don’t select a stream which has more
career options, rather choose the one
which matches the child’s potential and
capabilities and will make him/her
happy.
