Abstract

This research explores how students’ academic stream selection—Science, Arts, or Commerce—affects their vocational interests and value orientations. A sample of 600 students from Saharanpur district was studied using standardized psychometric tools. Analysis revealed distinct stream-wise patterns: Science students excelled in Scientific (M=15.3) and Knowledge (M=14.3) domains, Arts students scored highest in Artistic (M=13.8), Aesthetic (M=13.1), and Democratic (M=14.0), while Commerce students leaned toward Executive (M=14.7), Economic (M=14.8), and Family Prestige (M=13.7). MANOVA confirmed statistically significant differences (p<0.01). These findings underline the influence of educational context on shaping vocational and ethical self-concepts, reinforcing the need for curriculum-driven career planning.
