12th (General Stream)

 You have passed the Std – 12 exam. You are entering into a whole new field in the college / university level / professional courses / job. This is the time to say ‘Bye Bye’ to all the doubts, worries, confusions regarding your future. To proceed on the determined and definite path. As we know, there are two main streams in Std – 12 (HSC) : (1) General Stream and (2) Science Stream. After passing Std – 10 exam, every student becomes a student of Science Stream or General Stream (this two are the main streams) on the basis of the subjects he selects considering the marks he has scored in Std – 10, subjects of their choice, their capacity, etc. We can consider the students of Arts and Commerce both streams in the General Stream. In Std – 12, apart from Science and General Stream, there are also the students of Vocational Stream and higher Fundamental (Buniyadi) Stream. For last two – three years, the number of students in Science Stream keeps changing. We had an old belief that only clever students select science subjects during higher secondary school education of science stream so that they can become Doctor / Engineer / Pharmacist / Architect, etc. But now the belief has been changed. There are many good options after Std – 12 Arts / Commerce… so after very good marks in Std – 10, subjects of Art / Commerce are selected by choice by students in big number.

Studying in Std – 11 and Std – 12 by keeping Arts subjects after Std – 10 in General Stream, it is called Std – 12 Arts. You can do Std – 12 Arts with English subject or without English subject, but this age is not to run away from the English language.
. Std – 12 Commerce :
Studying in Std – 11 and Std – 12 by keeping Commerce subjects after Std – 10, we are called the students of Std – 12 Commerce… There are maximum numbers of students of Std – 12 Commerce.
