PUC Arts

The most underestimated road in Karnataka, and the one that leads to the courtroom, the newsroom, the classroom, the design studio and the district collectorate. Arts is not the stream for students who could not manage the others; it is the stream for students who work with language, people, evidence and ideas. Law, journalism, psychology, teaching, social work, design and the civil services are all reached from here.
