Students inclined towards Arts stream
This year, the FYJC admissions season trend has been inclined towards the Arts stream, with students applying for Arts stream courses such as BA Political Science (Honours), BA History Honours. Students are also applying for this stream as they want to pursue design-related careers in future.
Prajakta Sakhare, a student seeking admission in FYJC said, “I wish to seek admission in the Arts stream as I want to pursue a career in interior designing or graphic designing. Most of my friends are also opting for Arts. Hence, we have listed colleges that offer Arts stream in our admission forms.”
Talking about this trend, Dilip Seth, principal, Sir Parashurambhau (SP) College said, “There are many career opportunities in Arts stream, students can opt for a career in language or a creative field or even history and political science. This trend has been going on for at least three years. The dynamics have changed, it is not like earlier times, when students would prefer going for the Science stream to pursue a career in medical or engineering.”
