| Question: My daughter has done Xth (ICSE Board) this year and she has done well
enough, scoring an aggregate of 91% marks. She now wants to take up
Humanaties stream in XIth, with Mathematics as one of the subjects.
My question is, does an Arts student face any inherent difficulties or
disadvantages (compared to a Science student)at a later date, if she wants
to take up GMAT, appear for IIM entrance tests or the National Law School
entrance test or the Civil Services exams, etc.? I know she will be
eligible for all these exams even after studying Arts, but does studying
Science in itself inculcate qualities of analytical ability, logical
aptitude, etc. and thus sub-consciously help one prepare better for such
exams ? |
| Answer: Not to my knowledge.
In fact, if the child odes not like science subjects please do not force her
in to that. It will be two year ordeal and the child being bright may become
otherwise as far as the actual performance is concerned.
I would advise you to browse the IIM-A website and search for any
discriminations that they make in terms of selection. It may reconfirm what
I have said above.
Rules keep changing and best way is to look for answers from the right
place. It is always safer that way.
Your counsel. |
