Hello Nishtha, 

Confusion at this juncture is obvious.  But every problem does have a solution. 

A career being a lifelong decision do not make a hasty decision based on family or friends or percentage or the topmost running career currently.

Choose a career based on what interest you based on your abilities and personality. 

Two ways to choose a career. One through self introspection. Scan yourself for what your likings and or interests are. Know yourself best. 

The other way is by taking the Aptitude test or career counseling test, which would highlight your areas of strength and weakness, your interest and your aptitude.  

I would also strongly recommend Research on few careers you are interested in. Read what they entail in terms of skills required and match it with your skills. 

At the moment, the current year and next year is crucial. Now dont waste your study time thinking about your future. Probably you could dedicate the break timing for the career decision.

Wish you good luck...

Dear Aspirant,

I firstly appreciate that you have approached us with your concern at the 9th std level. Let me tell you that there are very few students who think in advance about their careers and seek guidance if confused.

Confusion is natural since there are now too many options in careers and it is difficult to choose one.

Here, stressing on one's own capability, ability, aptitude, interest is important. Without considering these factors, if one chooses a career option, then it is highly possible that it may go wrong.

I would suggest you to first decide which stream among Humanities, Commerce, Science, Diploma Engineering is interesting to you. For this, you need to follow a scientific way instead of choosing randomly. Please take the Stream Selector Test from CareerGuide.com. This is specially designed test which will help you know which stream is suitable to you on the basis of the above factors. The report will get generated instantly.

Best wishes
