The journey of a student starts from the 11 th standard when our education system allows them to choose any one stream from the 3 conventional streams (Science, Commerce, Humanities). As per the New Education Policy 2021, a student is allowed to choose his stream in the 9 th standard. This will give a child more time to understand and learn the basics of that subject which will build a strong foundation for them.

I completed my 12 th from commerce stream with computers. Then I enrolled myself in a degree course named B.C.C.A (Bachelors of Commerce with Computer Application). Now, some of you might be thinking why didn’t I opted B.C.A (Bachelor of Computer). Correct? My 12 th percentage is 1% less than the required cutoff percentage for B.C.A so, I picked up B.C.C.A which is a new option available those days. After completing my graduation, like most of the students, I started preparing for the entrance exam of M.C.A (Masters of Computer Application).
