Now that the results of the class 12 exams of various state boards are coming out, the most obvious question that students are faced with is what’s next?
If you think that you have worked hard for class 12 and now rest of the life will be easy and college will be fun-- you are in for a surprise! To put it bluntly, you haven’t seen the ‘S’ of the word ‘Struggle’.
There is no shortage of the options after class 12 if you have an open mind but given the peer and the pressure of the neighbors, for most students, it is either engineering or medical.
But, it is not always right to listen and believe everything you are told because it is you who will have to bear the burden of the course and face the exams. Hence, the importance of making a right decision keeping your interests in mind.
Below is a small list of courses which students can opt after completing their class 12. By no means, this is an exhaustive list but will give you ample number of options apart from engineering and medical fields. So dig in!
B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology)
B.Tech is a classic favorite of many students and involves deeper study and practical application of the science and engineering and its related streams.

If you love to fiddle with the information then this field has many lucrative opportunities for serious professionals.
Hotel management
India being a tourist destination offers a great scope in the Hotel management industry. Many students believe that it is confined to hotels only but this is not the case. The field is generically known as hospitality industry and includes other options such as airlines, sales, event catering, tour guides etc. as well. If long working hours and odd shifts are not a problem for you then the scope in this industry is never-ending.
Fashion Design
If you are more on a creative side then fashion industry will suit you the best. Creativity, heavy salaries, and glamour are some of the positive things which this industry has in store for the talented and serious professionals. But, the study of the fashion is one the most non-glamorous fields of the study. Anyone who has an eye for the creativity and originality can choose this field as their career profession.
Law
After Engineering and Medicine, the field of law is another legacy option for the students to chose. Students with an intellectual mind and analytical thinking have a great chance of success in this profession. Options in the legal field are numerous and one needs logic, patience, and determination to achieve success in this field.
