It is a safety net. If you fail an elective, a passed skill subject can replace it. College admissions now run mostly on CUET, JEE and NEET.
You can take Applied Mathematics (241), which keeps BBA, B.Com and Economics routes open at many universities.

Questions worth answering first
- Which Class 10 Maths are you taking: Standard or Basic?
- Which subjects make you lose track of time, and which do you dread?
- Is there any career you would regret closing off at 15? Physics and Maths keep the most doors open, but only if you can sustain them for two years.
- What does your school actually offer? Ask for its subject blocks for next year.
- Have you spoken to two seniors in the stream you are considering?
