Hey,

I am kiran and opted for commerce due to my fathers retirement I have to change the school becozz we are shifting so the other school is giving me fine arts and home science. So, is this a subject or a separate stream like Commerce? What should I do now? Can I go ahead and take this?

Home Science is a separate subject which is offered in all the ISC as well as ICSE stream. It is a subject which will help you further with the knowledge of food and nutrition. It is one of the good subject for girls who love to cook food so, going for this subject has no harm in it as it can be a good career oriented subject in future.

Home Science is not a stream, it is rather a subject and has got a huge career opportunities in future.

You an go for it if you wish to and obviously you can opt for a great career ahead.
