There are some pre concieved notions in our society...though they are not as prevalent nowadays as they were few years back.
Especially Marathi manoos always thinks it in terms of what is the ROI of the education they're getting....and invariably arrive at the conclusion that Science offers best ROI ( I don't believe that's true).
You're partly right, those studying in Arts and Commerce write off Math and Science as if it's beyond their mental capacity...which is completely wrong.
