Need guidance: Science student wanting to switch to B.Com + MBA after 12th
I'm currently in Class 12 (Science), but honestly, I was pushed into the science stream because almost everyone in my family is an engineer. It wasn't really my choice.
Over the past couple of years, I've realized that I don't enjoy science. My original plan was to prepare for IPMAT because I was interested in management, but my parents didn't support it since they think a BBA degree is "useless."
Now I'm seriously considering doing a B.Com after 12th and then pursuing an MBA from a top business school. The problem is that I barely know anything about good B.Com colleges, entrance exams, or the admission process because I hadn't though of B com ever. I feel completely lost.
Long-term, I want to work in real estate development. I know many people would suggest civil engineering or architecture, but I genuinely don't enjoy physics, so I don't think those fields are the right fit for me.
A few questions:
- What are the best B.Com colleges in India (preferably ones with good placements and strong MBA outcomes)?
- Which entrance exams should I prepare for?
- Is switching from Science to B.Com a bad idea?
- If my goal is eventually an MBA and a career in real estate development, is this a sensible path?
I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have been in a similar situation or know about this career path. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed right now.
Thanks in advance!
