It is a great dilemma for the students to choose a particular stream for their higher education. Traditionally speaking, it has been considered that there exist only two stream after 12th where you can have a good career i.e. Medical and Engineering. Students opting for Maths, Biology are considered to be brilliant than those opting other streams for eg. Arts, Commerce, Law etc, specifically in India. This is a norm which has been set up by a Indian Society and anyone deviating from this norm would be questioned by everyone " Why didn't you go for IIT ? " , " Why not Medical? Its a great field " , " See how IIT students get good jobs, go for it ". Well these are the questions which block the thinking of a student to think beyond this and start considering these two as the only options which are available to him for higher studies. I have seen many students who are not at all interested in these fields, but even though they prepare for it because society has given its approval only for these two streams. Well, I am able to say all this because I am one of such cases who opted for Maths after 10th without thinking about my interest, as to What am I interested in ? But luckily I decided at the crucial point and left the idea of doing engineering and opted for law and I am not regretting my decision, actually I am very happy with this.
