One of the common queries in our minds after board exam is what is next? Recently many students have finished their board exams and some are still appearing. Some have appeared in secondary and others in senior secondary examinations.
After Class X, one of the most worrying things is to choose next stream of education. Selecting a good career has been a challenge for many. But with proper planning and necessary information we could choose or select the best career options for us. It’s important to choose our career from an early age and the best to choose the professional courses or regular education comes after we pass senior secondary examination.
There are many career options after Class XII according to our interest and subject that we take in senior secondary. For getting admission into different courses we need to appear for some entrance examinations. Some colleges also take admission on the basis of the marks. In today’s edition, we are publishing some options after Class X. Some of the entrance examinations after Class XII are as follows:
