CBSE or PUC? Which is Better?

1. CBSE or PUC? Which is Better? If you are a student who has just completed Class 10th, especially in Karnataka, it’s given that you’ve been or are going to pass through this dilemma where you must pick one between CBSE and PUC. For the longest time, we have heard how ‘crucial’ these two years are, and how our judgment today will mold our future. Hence, there is additional pressure while selecting a suitable board for Grade 11th and 12th. The question isn’t which board is superior; the question is – which board will serve your purpose? There are several different opinions floating out there about how one exceeds the other – it can be in terms of subjects, combinations available, depth of their prescribed syllabus, etc. Still, the first step towards this process is understanding what will work best for us more than anything else. Let’s look at the two in a little more detail: CBSE – Central Board of Secondary Education is a national level board of education controlled by the Union Government of India. This board revises its syllabus with the required changes to benefit students and conducts board exams for 10th and 12th standard students. PUC – Pre-University Course is an intermediate course conducted by the state education board in India. It is a substitute for 11th and 12th standards under national-level boards. Every state has a different syllabus and exam pattern.

2. How do you know which one will work for you? Make an informed decision, list down your interests, and final goals, instead of resorting to what parents or friends select. So, ask yourself these questions: What is your academic objective? If you wish to take up coaching for entrance exams besides your schooling, then PUC is meant for you. The academic load is comparatively less, and hence it gives you enough time to concentrate on classes. Along with the PUC syllabus, many colleges facilitate students with integrated courses, which is not an alternative in CBSE. While appearing for CET (Common Entrance Test), it shoots up your percentage because it is simpler to score. On the other hand, if you aspire to crack exams solely with the syllabus in hand from your board, CBSE works in your favor. It comes with a relative structure in terms of competitive exams; it is your bible for every test and provides you with a strong academic base. However, if you crave a profession beyond the regular medical and engineering, then this can be a confusing process for you. The structure of CBSE is more inclusive than PUC and opens up a variety of options for you; this proves to be worthwhile if you are still uncertain about the degree you want to pursue. Whereas PUC can be a better alternative if you have a goal set in your mind. It provides you with numerous combinations, and you can opt for subjects of your interest, which is unavailable in CBSE. Is your goal beyond academics? Do you aim to be a sportsperson who is at the top of their game or part of the industries like entertainment or fashion? Then PUC aids your cause. Attributing to the relaxed syllabus and a more comfortable choice of subjects, PUC will permit you to dedicate yourself to your goal. On the contrary, CBSE demands commitment and makes it arduous for the students to focus on additional fields of interest. When the elders say that these years determine where you go, they aren’t entirely wrong. Therefore, never underestimate the significance of choosing the right alternative.
