Market forces, to a significant, extent, determine the choice of subjects by a student. Engineering subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) and Commerce/ Economics followed M.B.A are seen as leading to high paying professional jobs after 4-6 years of study. The craze for medical (MBBS) course has dwindled because it is perceived as requiring 8-10 years of hard work and struggle without assurance of good placement. Similarly, B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses in biology and allied subjects are perceived by the students (and their parents) as requiring long years of hard work with no assurance of a well- paying placement.
