Dear Aspirant,

Choosing a subject should always depend on your capability, skills acquired and acumen. If one chooses on the basis of these aspects, then I am sure that you can be successful.

10th standard level is an important level and choosing the right stream is important and critical. Choosing a stream should primarily be dependent on the subjects you like the most in your 10th std.

To be best sure of what suits you for your career, I would suggest you to undergo a Psychometric Career Assessment test from CareerGuide which will help you understand yourself in respect of your strengths, weaknesses, emotional quotient, etc. and will exactly tell you which stream is good for you.
