CBSE prepares list of courses to help students with higher education choices
The publication includes various course options with different subject combinations, said Rama Sharma, senior public relations officer, CBSE.
To guide its students to make right choice in selecting their careers, CBSE has prepared a compendium of suggestive courses for students that will help them get information about various course choices, institutes and combinations available in higher education beforehand after class 10 itself, said Anita Karwal, chairperson CBSE in a circular uploaded by the board in its website.
The compendium of courses after +2, is an earnest effort of the board to facilitate students while scouting for right course choices leading to higher education later. The publication includes various course options with different subject combinations, said Rama Sharma, senior public relations officer, CBSE.
While all care has been taken to provide information, (although in brief), about the traditional, popular and new age courses, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive information considering that there are an estimated 900 universities and over 41,000 colleges in the country providing higher education and teaching a plethora of subjects, the circular reads.
“The purpose of this compendium is to generate enough curiosity in the students to explore further on the scope, possibilities, avenues, for each of these courses and to look for other options beyond these courses as well,” said Anita Karwal, chairperson CBSE.
The list of courses and that of Institutes/Universities is only illustrative and in no way exhaustive. The intention is thus limited to creating awareness among the students. As most of these courses are also offered by several private institutions/universities, the readers are expected to research further by visiting the official websites of Unity Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and individual institutes.
CBSE in due course of time will make efforts to update the content to the extent possible. The information is available at the official website: cbse.nic.in.
