I switched from Science to Commerce in 9th Grade. what are good career options after 12th?

Ans: Hi Soni

Based on the information that you have provided, I feel humanities will be a good fit for her. Commerce has a lot of accounting math. I am not sure if she will enjoy that. With humanities, she can study social sciences / liberal arts and simultaneously prepare for UPSC. As a second option, she can then try for entrepreneurship related areas where she has freedom and flexibility. I would also urge to identify any creative pursuits if she has. Creative careers are on the rise and also pay well.

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: Kishore Sir, based on her Interest, she should choose COMMERCE Stream and continue with it even after her 12th. It is advisable to join any reputed College for Commerce / Finance through CUET. CA/CS/ICWAI are the options (while pursuing her UG) apart from MBA-Finance after her UG. 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.
