Q.
I scored 94 per cent marks in my Class XII exams (commerce stream). I did not have maths in plus-two. Therefore, I cannot do a BCom (honours) course in a good Delhi University college. In top colleges, the cut off for non-maths students is very high. Can I get into BCom, which does not require maths in Class XII, in a very good college? Should I go for BCom (honours) at a low-rung college or plain BCom from a top college? Is there good scope for plain commerce graduates from a top DU college? — S Samrat

As you did not do maths in Class XII, it is best that you take up the BCom programme in a good college in DU, which, with 94 per cent marks, you can. The recently-revamped BCom programme is good and covers many subjects taught for the honours degree, such as business and industrial law, economics, corporate accounting and others. It also includes optional papers from which you can choose financial management, marketing, human resource management or e-commerce. With a BCom degree, you can take up any of the career options you may have wished to do after B Com (H), including MBA, chartered accountancy, company secretaryship, law and many others. So, you can certainly enrol for the BCom programme.-

Q.
I’m a Class IX student. I dont know which stream to choose in Class XI. I find it difficult to judge my interests. I’m sometimes inclined towards science and sometimes find it really boring. If I take physics, chemistry and maths with biotechnology, what options will be open to me in the near future? When I go to any counsellor, I get to hear the same thing everywhere, “You are quite young to decide your career now.” What should I do? - Ananya

I am glad you have started thinking about your career and the study routes you will need to take for it. The subject stream you opt for in class XI will be the first step towards your career. Therefore, before making your choice, do a self-assessment to be able to figure out your innate abilities, interests and personality. Every person is unique with a range of talents, interests and skills any of which could be the basis of a worthwhile career. You need to know what you do well, so you can choose to use those abilities and develop the necessary skills in a career that interests you. Never before were there as many career options as there are today. Innumerable career opportunities exist and are being created all the time, both in India and abroad. It is not surprising that you, like many other students, are confused about your future. There are aptitude and personality assessments which can help indicate your potential and suitability for particular professions and help in your career decision-making process. Such an assessment has to be conducted by a professional career counsellor who can help you pick the most suitable subject stream. There are hundreds of careers you can take up after any of the subject streams. So take up subjects that you enjoy studying, where you get marks easily and consistently, and which may be useful for careers that interest you. In Class VIII or IX, it may be too early to focus on any one career but you must open your mind to all the possible careers that seem interesting to you and explore what they are all about, and the kinds of jobs they entail. If you are thinking of taking PCM at the plus-two level, I suggest you do not take biotechnology with it. You need not read biotechnology in Classes XI and XII to be able to take it up later. Biotechnology is open to you whether you take PCM or PCB. You may instead like to consider a fourth subject such as economics, computer science, psychology or any other your school offers, which open up many other career avenues. -
