There are many factors to be considered when choosing the right course at the right institute. Matters like the recognition of the certification, the lecture panel of the institute, and the awarding bodies of the campus have to be well considered before getting enrolled in any higher studies programme.

‘A Science student will end up being a doctor’ is one of the most accepted ideas by many people. But the truth is, there is a sea full of careers for a student who has pursued his or her A/L’s in the science stream.
