Choosing a stream after Class 10 shapes your options after Class 12. Compare Science, Commerce, Arts and vocational paths.

After Class 10 most students choose a stream for Classes 11 and 12. Each stream opens a different set of courses and careers. There is no single "best" stream — the right one depends on your interests, strengths and the career you have in mind.
