The Indian education system has been through tumultuous evolution over the course of years. Right now all the talks point towards upgrading the existing education system so that the students who are at the receiving end of it can derive practical value out of what they are learning.
In fact, the Indian education system just had a do-over. In various educational institutions, redundant chapters have been taken out.
The education system is becoming smarter now.
Pretty much all do well and are in sync up and until students are pursuing school education that lasts till 10th standard.
Their paths diverge as they enter +2 i.e. 12th standard.
Some pick Science while others pick commerce.
Things are still under control as even after the 12th standard one has the choice to make the switch to a different career path; be it science, commerce, arts, and whatnot.
These days coding is a large career path that can also be modulated keeping in mind what the demand of the market is.
In either case, it is very important to be extra careful while selecting the career path right after the 12th Standard.
Because a wrong choice can cost you some years, not that one should obsess about losing some years here and there and be upset about it.
But still, prevention is better than cure.
And there are more options today to seek advice than there were back in the days.
