This is a common dilemma between students who give examination of 12th grade in +2. Do you know how many students appear in HSEB plus +2 exams? Looking the stats of 2071, 7072 and predicting the HSEB data of 2073 we can assume that more than two lakh students appear for their 10+2 examination each year in Nepal and this number keeps increasing each year.
For science students, the best after +2 is to go for MBBS (for biology group).But to secure scholarship in MBBS is really tough and to study MBBS by paying, your family should have a lot of money or property. The next best students choose is Engineering. There are lots of engineering you can choose from. But better choose engineering field if you really have interest in physics because studying engineering just to get job in future is not a smart decision. Other choice is to move into IT field (BIT, BSc CSIT, BSc IT etc).Chartered Accountancy and B Pharma are also one of the most popular choices for Nepali students with science background.
There is a little less anxiety and dilemma for management students because the choices are a bit limited or they can choose among few alternatives. Most of the management students choose BBA after +2. Some hardworking/determined students choose CA, ACCA and other thought and rewarding courses.
However, there are many more options one chooses, besides the usual imaginations.
For instance, creative students could opt for design, fine arts or visual communication, photography, videography, fashion designing and similar courses. If you are good with numbers and you love hard work, you can explore Chartered Accountancy.
If you aspire to be a top chef or are naturally inclined towards cooking and kitchen, you have hotel management.
Allied medical science such as physiotherapy, have a demand in the health care sector of Nepal. Even a field like forensic sciences which is not much common in Nepal, needs skilled professionals. Ayurveda can be another beautiful choice given that many people now are starting to believe in preventive methods and natural care as much as possible. Ayurveda is gaining a Hugh interest and popularity these days.
So there are a lot of choices for students to study after +2 in Nepal. The first and most important question you should ask to yourself before choosing any course is” in which field I can do the most”.
