Talking about the fee structure, it is bit expensive than other bachelor programs. However, you need to talk to the college administration to find out how much they charge since the fee structure differs in different college. If you are eligible enough you can apply for the scholarships offered by the college.

The course is very important as it deals with the study and wellbeing of animal health and safety. It has more significance in Nepal since Nepal is an agricultural country and all most all the people who are involved in agriculture are engaged into animal husbandry in one way or another, despite that there are very few professional who are capable of handling animals in a proper. Moreover, before this course was introduced in Nepal, there were no well educated and competent veterinarians. Few study JTA program which is fifteen months course and treat the animal. What is more shocking is they are working in the government vet hospitals. It is in practice today also. In villages it’s very difficult to find a vet. With the rapid increase in the agriculture in Nepal, the need of well educated vet is also skyrocketing. So you should not worry about the job opportunities. Not just in Nepal, the demand of educated and skilled veterinarian is increasing internationally.

The degree in Bachelors in Veterinary and Animal Husbandry opens doors for a number of rewarding and challenging job opportunities. This degree gives you the opportunity of self employment as well. You can open your own vet clinical and provide health services. You have option to work as animal incursion investigator, food safety veterinarian, and veterinary researcher. You even have option to further your education and develop specialist skills. After specializing in certain area, you can work as a lecturer in universities.

It quite obvious that you will be in lots of dilemmas about which stream to choose after completing class ten since it marks the beginning of your career. So being scared and confused is very natural. It more complicated for those who do not know what they want to do in life or their career ambition. At this point in life, choosing the right stream is most as it determines what you will become in future. Lots of people might try to influence you by providing wrong information which might lead you to a wrong decision. So, it’s very crucial to have decision-making skills. Keep in mind, just taking a decision is not enough, you should be able to give the reason behind your decision as well. Decision-making skills will help you in every step of your life.
Now let’s discuss the stream you can choose

Science: It is very popular among students. This stream opens a door for a number of career opportunities including engineering and medicine. One of the major reason for its popularity is you will have the option to change the stream and move to arts and commerce after completing 10+2.
Under this program, you have options for subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and computer science. You should choose the subject on the basis of your career ambition.

Arts: Previously, lots of people used to pursue arts but slowly it is losing its charm. However, it offers some of the most exciting career options such as teaching, social works, literature, and journalism.
Under this program, students have the option to choose subjects such as economics, philosophy, political science, psychology, literature, history, sociology and so on.

Commerce: After science, most of the students prefer pursuing commerce as it provides students with a number of career options. Some of the typical career options include chartered accountant, company secretaries, financial and accounts advisor among others.
Business law, accountancy, and economics are the major subjects taught under this stream. Some of the subject students have to study under this program are marketing, English, business law, business math etc.

Before deciding which stream to choose, make sure which career path you want to follow. Because once you joined the class, it will difficult for you to change the decision later. Find out your passion and abilities and do what you want to do, not what others suggest you to do. You can join the forestry after completing 10+2 and in Nepal there is a huge scope for forestry.

France is home to a number of public universities, private universities, public technical universities, autonomous scientific higher education institutes and institute of technologies. There are five art schools Paris College of Art and Conservatoire de Paris are among them.

It offers a world-class education. Some of the institutions allow you to complete few courses from home, of course using your computer. Generally, students need to pay around €186 for 1st-year programs and two-hundred and fifty-five euro in Master’s level. Living cost is also not so high. You can survive on four-hundred and thirty euro for a month. However, this does not include your university’s fee. Students are allowed to work for 964 hours in a year and the minimum wage they get is 9.76 Euros per hour.
After graduating you can apply for a temporary residency visa which is non-renewable. It will be for one year and during that time you can work full time. You even have the option to join the postgraduate program and further your study without any issues.

Mostly known for its exotic lifestyle, history and natural wonders, France is a jewel of Europe. It is a sovereign state whose territory comprises of multiple overseas territories and regions and metropolitan France in Western Europe. It is surrounded by six countries: Spain in the southwest, Italy, and Switzerland in the southeast, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany in the northeast. France has multiple international airports, ferry terminals and rail service due to which it is deemed as Europe’s gateway. Paris, the capital of the country is also the largest city and a major commercial center. Some of the main cities are Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Lille, Lyon, and Marseille.

The most visited nation in the world in 2017, France is undoubtedly the tourists’ favorite destination. The country has the amazing climate, striking natural wonders, varieties of outdoor recreational activities, art galleries and museums, astonishing architecture, iconic Eiffel Tower and much more. In France you don’t have to do much to feel relaxed, just sitting on the terrace of a café, sipping the coffee and watch the world go by also gives a sense of pleasure. It is also home to a Disneyland which is visited by fifteen million visitors every year. Since the national has everything a tourist would ever want to see from beaches to snow-capped mountains to immensely spread countryside area, French people choose to explore their own country instead of visiting abroad. Eighty percent area of the nation is countryside.

If I don’t mention about French cuisine and wine while talking about French lifestyle, the discussion would be incomplete since they are inseparable. French loves for food is unbelievable. The typical meals include 3 to 4 courses. Some of the most loved food includes Coq au vin, Coquilles Saint-Jacques and sea scallops prepared in butter. France produces a large number of wines.
The southern region is the most t popular area in France for business. It is costly as well. French Alps lies in this region. Since it is a tourist destination, here you can find an array of dazzling resorts. Paris, the capital city exhibits rich culture and reflect wealth and design.

French people are quite formal and well spoken. They pay special attention to their appearance. Considered the fashionable people, they are very specific about their clothing. They believe in ‘live and let live’. Thus, they are light-hearted, relaxed and fun loving. They love food and prefer it to be fresh, so it very common to see them shopping groceries on a daily basis. Festivals like carnivals, fairs, Tour de France, the International Garden Festival and Festival d’Automne de Paris reflect the French culture. People living here are healthy and happy; this might be the reason behind the low crime rate in France.

The living expenses entirely dependent upon one’s lifestyle and the place of residency. However, it’s not too expensive either.

In Bangalore, you can find a number of highly regarded international schools. All most all the schools focus on providing world-class education and also develop student’s personality.

Make sure that your brother is happy too because it’s him who will be spending years of his life in that school so his consent is the most.
