Pick Class 11 subjects that fit you, not just the stream.
CBSE no longer forces fixed streams. You can mix Physics with Psychology, or Computer Science with Political Science. That freedom makes the choice harder. GradRun helps you choose with your interests, abilities and future options in front of you.
Three steps, about 20 minutes
Take the interest and aptitude test
Quick (7 min) or Full (20 min). It measures what you enjoy and, in the Full test, how you actually do on reasoning questions.
Get matched combinations
See your profile, how well each stream fits, your strongest subjects, and three combinations that follow CBSE rules.
Check every door it opens
Open a combination in the planner. It shows which degrees stay open, partly open or closed, from B.Tech and NEET to law, design and CA.
What students get wrong
You can take Mathematics or Applied Maths and Computer Science with any stream if your school offers the combination.
CBSE has no compulsory subject except a language. Your school's timetable decides what is actually available.
It is a safety net. If you fail an elective, a passed skill subject can replace it. College admissions now run mostly on CUET, JEE and NEET.
You can take Applied Mathematics (241), which keeps BBA, B.Com and Economics routes open at many universities.
Questions worth answering first
- Which Class 10 Maths are you taking: Standard or Basic?
- Which subjects make you lose track of time, and which do you dread?
- Is there any career you would regret closing off at 15? Physics and Maths keep the most doors open, but only if you can sustain them for two years.
- What does your school actually offer? Ask for its subject blocks for next year.
- Have you spoken to two seniors in the stream you are considering?
