Confused about 10th pass son's future: Science, Commerce or Diploma?

Ans: Hi
There is no connection between the 10th subject and the NEET examination.
NEET is based on PHYSICS + CHEMISTRY + BIOLOGY subjects.
You can appear in NEET by opting for these subjects in class 12th.


If you are not satisfied with the reply, pl ask again without any hesitation.

Ans: Hello Uday ji
DMIT tests are not 100% accurate. If you need, I would suggest going after the Psycometric Test. It gives rather better explanation and results. I feel if your son is scoring above 75% then you can definitely go for Diploma in CSE.

Ans: Uday Sir, thank you for reaching RediffGURU. Your concern is completely valid — and many parents face the same confusion after 10th, especially after taking a DMIT test. Let me explain everything in a clear and practical way: DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test) is based on fingerprint patterns and claims to assess a child’s inborn talents, personality, and learning style. While it can give some general insights, it is not scientifically proven and should not be the sole basis for career decisions. However, to some extent, Psychometric Test will be more helpful, compared to DMIT, providing some suitable career options for your son. So, use DMIT as a guidance tool, not as the final decision-maker. What Should You Focus on Instead? His Interest + Aptitude + Effort — These matter more than any test. Look at your son's performance in Maths, Science, English, etc. during SSC. Has he shown any interest in: Coding or Computers? Business or Finance? Design or Creativity? Communication or Language? Based on this, you/he can help select the right stream (Engineering | Medical | Commerce | Arts-Humanities) or he prefers Diploma (like CSE Diploma after 10th) if he's not confident about handling 11th-12th Science, then a diploma in Computer Engineering (CSE) is a good alternative. After 3 years of diploma, he can join 2nd year of Engineering (B.E/B.Tech) through lateral entry. But again, it should be based on his interest in technology or computers — not pressure.

Talk to your son — ask what he enjoys or dreams about. Use DMIT + school marks + family guidance together to decide. Don’t choose a stream only because “DMIT said so” or “log kya kahenge.” All the best for your Son's Bright Future!

Ans: Welcome back.
I want to emphasize that IQ tests, DMIT tests, or similar assessments are merely tests. One should not trust these tests completely. It may be better to admit him to the science stream and wait for his performance over the next few months. Even if he appears less capable, he will complete his 12th-grade science and take state-level engineering tests. There are many examples of students who seemed weak or average in 10th or 12th grade but went on to have successful careers. Whatever you are considering for your son's future seems valid. Proceed with your plans and put the results of the IQ/DMIT tests behind you. Best of luck to your son.
