My qualifications, i'm a Class 12 student from India (PCB, no Maths), and lately I've been seriously considering a career in computational biology/bioinformatics because I love biology and I'm interested in AI.

The problem is that I'm not naturally good at maths, and I don't have Maths as a subject in school right now.

Would this be a bad career choice for someone like me? Is the maths manageable if I'm willing to work hard, or should I consider a different path?

I'd really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people working or studying in this field.

I've spent the last few months researching different career options and trying to figure out what would genuinely suit me. After a lot of thinking, I had pretty much decided on B.Sc. Life Sciences.

Recently, though, a lot of people have suggested that I should look into biomedical/medical engineering or similar engineering fields because they generally have better salaries and career growth.

The problem is that I'm not very good at maths, so I'm not sure whether engineering would be the right fit for me. Also, if I had known earlier that engineering could even be an option, I would probably have chosen subjects like Computer Science or coding-related electives in school. I didn't, because at the time I was more interested in biology and psychology.

I'm also still open to psychology as a career path if there are good opportunities through it.

So I'd really appreciate some honest advice.

Given my situation, what other career options should I be exploring? Are there any fields that combine good career prospects with my background and interests? Should I seriously consider working on my maths and exploring engineering, or are there other paths that might suit me better?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who've been through something similar or work in these fields.

My qualifications, currently in class 12th PCB,

I'm planning to pursue B.Sc. Life Sciences, and I'd really appreciate some honest advice from people who have studied it or are currently working in related fields.

I'd love to know:

What are the biggest pros and cons of this degree?

Is it really as flexible as people say, or is it too broad?

What kind of career paths have you or your classmates taken after graduation?

If you could go back, would you still choose Life Sciences?

Which colleges in India have the best B.Sc. Life Sciences programs in terms of academics, research opportunities, internships, and placements?

If your goal was to eventually work in genetics, biomedical sciences, public health, reproductive biology, or research, would you recommend Life Sciences as the right starting point?

I'm looking for honest opinions—both positive and negative. If there are things you wish someone had told you before choosing this course, I'd really like to hear them.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,everyone so I am in class 12 I have opted for PCB + psychology and from a really long time, I have been very confused about what course should I choose for my bachelors and, trying and approaching different aspects I have came to one decision ,of pursuing life sciences as my bachelors I have heard from people it provides a great base to go in different fields for masters specially in fields l like, for eg- genomics which I am really interested in so wondering if anyone who knows more about the degree can tell me the cons of it and also what college might be the best for this degree and yes I do understand that salary with just b.sc is very low and I will be doing my masters for specialisation

Need some career advice. I'm in Class 12 (PCB), but I've realized something about myself over the past few months.

I've changed a lot as a person. I've become much more socially aware and interested in understanding society, gender issues, human rights, and public welfare. I genuinely enjoy learning about these topics and have become someone who wants to raise my voice, help people, and make a positive impact. I think I've become much more of an activist-minded person than I ever expected.

Because of this, I've started questioning my academic choices.

I took PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) + psychology and while I was interested in biology before, I now feel like I would have been much happier if I had chosen Arts/Humanities. I feel I would have enjoyed studying more, had more time to explore my interests, and learned much more about society and the issues I care about.

It also made me realize how difficult it is that we're expected to choose a stream at 15–16 years old. At that age, most of us are still figuring out who we are, yet those decisions can shape our future. I know many people are happy with their choice, but I'm wondering if I've outgrown mine.

The problem is that I'm already in Class 12 with PCB. I also know my parents naturally expect me to pursue something related to biology or healthcare, and I'm open to that as long as the work genuinely helps people.

I know one thing for sure: I don't want to become a doctor. I respect the profession immensely, but I don't think it's the right fit for my personality.

So I'm looking for suggestions.

Are there careers—whether in healthcare, biology, social sciences, public policy, law, NGOs, public health, psychology, research, advocacy, or even completely different fields—that someone with a PCB background can pursue where they can make a meaningful difference in people's lives?

I'm not looking for the highest-paying career. I'm looking for work that combines purpose, helping people, and intellectual fulfillment.

Since I'm in Class 12, I still have some time before choosing my college course, so I'm genuinely open to exploring options.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have taken unconventional paths or know about careers that I may not have considered.

I'm in Grade 12 (PCB) preparing for NEET, and I'm really frustrated with my study efficiency.

I recently scored 77 in a coaching test after studying for hours every day. I completed almost my entire coaching module, and many questions in the test were directly from that module, but I still didn't perform well. Meanwhile, some classmates study much less and score the same or even better.

I'm not looking for motivation. I genuinely want to know what I might be doing wrong. How do you study so that the time you put in actually translates into marks? If you've gone through something similar and improved, what changes made the biggest difference? Was it revision, active recall, error analysis, test-taking strategy, or something else?

I'd really appreciate practical advice because I feel like I'm working hard but not studying effectively.
