Girls opting for medicine, boys commerce
Ludhiana, April 16 The trends have definitely changed and as per the latest trend, more and more girls are shifting towards medicine as compared to boys. Boys go for commerce, LLB and other professional courses because of better placements. Mr Amrit Aggarwal, Chairman, Akash institute, said it was good to see the response of students. Almost everyone had become career oriented. He said girls were opting for medicine. “Boys being more job oriented choose professional courses like hotel management, fashion designing, etc. They feel that they can get better jobs in this industrial hub. A very few boys choose medicine as their career”, Mr Aggarwal said. These institutes have been preparing the students for AIIMS, AIEEE, CET, DCE, etc. The students have already started attending crash courses offered by the institutes. The centres offer individual doubt clearing sessions for students where they are encouraged to discuss their problems. At some of the centres, regular report is given to the parents. Mr Ashish from the Siddharatha institute said girls take their careers more seriously than boys. “At our institute girls are dominating and majority of them are opting medicine as their career”, he said. Mr Sikandar Verma from Ekadhiken, however, said lesser students picked up non-medical stream because they felt that the demand for engineering graduates had come down in recent years. Boys preferred to choose parallel careers like commerce, hotel management, fashion designing, MBA, etc as they find these streams more luring. Mr Raghav Bajaj, a student preparing for MBA entrance, said gone were the days when parents forced their wards to opt for engineering or medicine. Trends have changed with times. He said, “We are free to choose any career which is good. I personally feel doctors and engineers are not preferred much these days. I do not intend to settle in Ludhiana and will click to the jobs that provide me better opportunities”.
