Subject selection guidance for IGCSE and CBSE students

Why Subject Selection Matters

At PINNACLE, we understand that choosing the right subjects in Grade 9 (IGCSE) and Grade 11 (CBSE) is one of the most important academic decisions a student makes. The subjects you choose now will determine:

Your future career options
Your eligibility for specific courses in universities
Your success in competitive exams and admissions

That’s why our expert team is here to guide students and parents in making informed, strategic, and personalized subject choices.
