CBSE official statement reads – “As students enter secondary stage of schooling, they move closer to making many important career choices, one of which is deciding subjects to be studied at senior secondary level such as Humanities, Commerce, Science or Vocational.”
“Information about aptitude is useful for students in seeking academic and or career guidance. It is to be used keeping in view the students’ needs and their stage of education. The information about a student’s strengths and limitations would also help parents, teachers and the school administrators to extend support to the student while making such decisions” is also said in the statement.
