Abstract
In recent times, there have been many researches which are conducted in the light of improving the educational environment of a society and the country at a large. There have been recognitions country-wide regarding the potency of education to remove the mental bondage of slavery and empower people bestowing freedom of thoughts. Education and proper schooling at a basic level has gained the due emphasis as a tool of progressive social change. The study highlights all the problems associated with the choice of educational course for a student. As the study has been conducted in Silchar, it claims to be of value regarding the unfolding of real factors that can contribute to the choice of a course amongst the students of the place. The marginalized and distorted knowledge amongst the students and their parents regarding the potency of a course in brightening up the career of a student can be another hurdle in the choice of a course. The study claims to be of social value in not only providing evidences that confirm the perceptual judgment regarding the factors that a student does and should consider for choosing a course, but it also acts as an eye-opener in revealing the pros and cons of many courses which are mostly evaluated by the students and their guardians with little information.
