A little background first:

Hi guys, I'm currently 17 and I'll be graduating from high school next year. After 10th, I had no idea which stream to choose or anything like that, but I had this feeling inside me that I should choose Engineering Graphics, Commerce, or something along those lines. But there was quite a bit of pressure from my family.

So I was sort of forced to take the rat-factory Computer Science path(also started online jee coaching because I really had no aim and it was what was the default way everyone was going dropped jee coaching after 11th). 11th was really bad. I'm in 12th now and things have started getting a little better, but I still have some hope.

I was researching what courses I could take and what options I had, and I stumbled upon design school entrance exams, basically DAT or UCEED. I realised that I'd probably be much happier doing this kind of work in the future, like visual communication and similar fields(I just felt it was the right thing for me I was trying to find all along). Also, my family can't afford extremely expensive fees.

The problem is that I literally just stumbled upon this, and I don't think I can crack these exams without any preparation as its august right now and there is absolutley no way I can go for this year's, especially with the limited time I have right now while also having to focus on my boards.

So I wanted to ask if taking a drop year and going for a good worth the money offline coaching would be a wise decision. I'm scared that I'll regret it later. At the same time, I feel like I'm the kind of guy who could actually crack it if I were given enough time, and Ialso regret it even more that I could've have taken an easier, more manageable stream that would've given me enough time to prepare.

Please help a young guy out.

Hi I know am coming to ask an unusual advice but here goes nothing. I am a 17 year old in my final year of high school (12th grade) as a kid I and even now I have the passion to want to become an air force pilot. I currently dont know anything about NDA and stuff and I just started learning about this because I currently live overseas in the gulf region. Gulf region doesnt mean any luxury we struggle to find end's meet here daily so we live as any family back in india. 12th has already started here and I'm very unsure of how to navigate the nda exams and what all I have to prepare for or how much time I need any genuine advice would be very helpful.
