Mam I am an 8th STD icse board student and need to select subject for boards now...I am weak in maths and science so I am selecting commerce but in combination do I take economics or commercial activities...can u guide for future what will be good to score good percentage in 10th?

Ans: With Commerce, you can look at accounting, management, Economics, Law, Finance and many other areas.

Ans: Sweta Madam, Fully read about your daughter's interests & plans.

Please note,

(1) She can choose Commerce with Maths & Economics.
(2) She wants to pursue CA, she should not/cannot do something else as well (which you have mentioned). She can focus only on CA. Besides, she should be strong in Maths for CA.
(3) She can try for BBA/MBA with any one of the Top NIRF-ranked & Reputed Management College where she can easily get placed for the job she prefers.
(4) However, to target any one of those colleges, she should start preparing well for Entrance Exams .
(6) It is advisable to decide by November-December (assuming she is in 10th this year) which career path she should choose for Entrance Exams or to mentally prepare for CA Foundation.
(7) Better to have Plan B & Plan C also for Arts/Humanities Stream if she changes her mind when she will be in 11th (such as Psychology, Design etc.).

All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.

Ans: You have NOT mentioned her performance/percentage in Maths & other subjects, she has been scoring. Choosing CA requires the highest level of dedication & self-motivation. If she has, she can pursue CA. If not, it would be better to go for NIFT, as per her interest. In both cases, preparing for the Foundation Exam of CA or Design Entrance Exams from the 11th Standard itself is important. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.

Ans: Praveen, Your daughter has great job choices in banking, finance, marketing, law, corporate secretary, mass communication, journalism, and hotel management even if she can pursue Commerce and Economics without Mathematics. Higher studies possibilities comprise B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce), B.A (Bachelor of Business Administration), BA Economics, Law (BA LLB/BVA LLB), Mass Communication & Journalism, and Hotel Management. Jobs in banking and finance; marketing and sales; HR; corporate secretary; legal profession; and entrepreneurship abound. Nonetheless, some elite institutions and universities could demand Mathematics, and disciplines like Data Science, Finance, and Actuarial Science mostly depend on it. She can still have a brilliant future in commerce and economics even if she hates maths greatly. She should investigate courses in Business Studies, Accountancy, or Entrepreneurship alongside Commerce & Economics since Applied Mathematics can be a useful substitute. Please note, The level of Mathematics required in Commerce and Economics depends on the specific subjects and career paths chosen. Commerce without Maths involves basic calculations and logic-based thinking, while Economics without Maths involves basic statistics, graphs, and logical reasoning. B.Sc. Economics requires higher Maths, while Commerce with Applied Maths covers practical topics like financial mathematics, probability, statistics, and logical reasoning. Career paths include B.Com, BBA, CS, Law, HR, Digital Marketing, and Entrepreneurship. If a daughter dislikes Maths but wants Commerce/Economics, Commerce without Maths is a safe choice. If she is not able to cope up with ICSCE Board, it is advisable to change her into CBSE. If she is struggling with the ICSE board, it is advisable to transfer her to CBSE. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that you are currently studying in the 10th grade. Given that you do not like physics and chemistry, I would like to tell you that opting for the commerce stream is a wise decision. With commerce, business studies, accounting, and economics, you can embark on careers in finance, business management, banking, company secretary (CS), marketing, chartered accountancy (CA), and entrepreneurship. Opting for economics and mathematics together opens up more alternatives, including data analysis, actuarial science, and finance-related employment. Proficiency in mathematics and economics can also enhance your prospects of studying abroad for business, finance, or economics-related degrees in leading colleges.
