It is a hectic time for you as you finally complete your class 12 examinations. The race for higher education has only just begun. Things get doubly difficult if you had chosen Arts as your senior secondary stream in school because people keep telling you that there is not ample scope for Arts students. But contrary to popular belief still prevalent in some places, the range of higher studies options for Arts students is a large and ever-widening one.
NIMT Educational Institutions make your future look bright as a class 12 Arts pass-out by offering a plethora of courses and programmes to choose from. No longer do you have to worry about your possible career options just because you belong to an Arts background in school. While all necessary information like admission procedure and fee structure of the relevant courses can be read in detail in the official NIMT website (www.nimt.ac.in), here is a brief overlook of top programmes to select from at NIMT after class 12th:
