Hello my kid is doing her 10th igcse..she is interested in business studies..so after 10th wht she has to take a level as level or idbp programme

Ans: Kavitha Madam, prefer A Level as A Level significantly increases the academic depth compared to AS Level. Students are required to delve deeper into the subject matter, exploring more complex theories, advanced concepts, and specialized areas. This level of depth demands a higher level of critical thinking and analysis from students. Also, A Level offers broader and more comprehensive coverage of the subject. It goes beyond the foundational aspects and includes a wider range of content, allowing students to gain a more holistic understanding of the subject area. It is advisable to prepare for CUET minimum 1-year in advance to get admission into any of the reputed State / Central Universities for his UG Program in Business Studies. It is also advisable to appear for 5-7 Entrance Exams (instead of relying only on CUET) to have multiple options to choose the best College/Program/College/University/Location for your daughter. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Hello , My son will be completing IGSCE 10th and would require guidance should it be AS Level or IBDP ?if he plan to go for Masters later abroad should he continue with AS Level or IBDP ? As graudation will be Normal University
Ans: Hello Jyothish,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is studying the IGSCE curriculum and will be completing his 10th grade. To answer your question first, I would like to let you know that the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the AS Level, both have their own advantages. Nevertheless, your son’s interests, strengths, as well as the prerequisites of the universities he intends pursuing his Master's degree at play a key role in his decision. I would like to tell you that owing to the subject-oriented approach provided by AS Levels, students’ can concentrate extensively on the subjects opted for by them. IBDP, on the contrary, entailing a range of disciplines in addition to the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Extended Essay (EE), provides a comprehensive curriculum, in turn, fostering an all-encompassing academic learning process. You would be glad to know that both these credentials are globally accepted in order to secure admission to foreign universities. Although the IBDP may be favored by certain universities owing to its comprehensive approach, the degree of information provided by AS Levels may be valued equally by others. In order to make an educated choice that best matches his academic abilities as well as future ambitions, I would recommend that your son conducts an all-round study on the universities he intends studying at and looks into their unique prerequisites.
