In a condition where ending up with a MA/MSc degree or maybe PhD in some cases does not guarantee a job, it makes great sense to go for some trade or certificate or course just after the higher secondary which is job oriented and there is a demand of such skilled persons in the market. Paramedical courses are one such option that students can try to make a career. There is a good demand for these professionals in Govt as well as the private sector.
