Qualifications: I am 24 F, completed my masters in psychology last year and am GATE and NET qualified. Have been taking up hr internships since then as I have had no luck with jobs till now.
I am really worried about my career. I am turning 25 soon and it’s starting to get me- the pressure to settle, peers moving ahead in life, no fancy titles or degrees on my resume.
I am really anxious and confused at this point. What should I do next? Should I do an MBA or a PhD or just keep finding jobs?
Need advice on my career decision after 3 failed NEET attempts. Am I making the right choice?
Hi everyone,
I need an honest opinion on my situation because I'm scared of repeating the same mistake again.
- After 12th (PCB), I took 2 full drops for NEET, but couldn't clear it.
- Then I joined a private BSc Biology college (non-regular attendance) and took another partial drop for NEET.
- Even after that, I couldn't clear NEET.
- I still have 2 years left to complete my BSc Biology degree.
After thinking a lot, I realized my biggest problem was extreme isolation, not lack of ability.
For almost 3 years my life became:
- Coaching → home → self-study → same room every day.
- Hardly any social interaction.
- No college life.
- No Instagram or WhatsApp.
- Lost contact with almost all school friends.
- My long-distance relationship ended a few months before NEET, which affected me mentally.
- I developed brain fog, poor focus, weight gain, and porn/masturbation addiction because I was alone in a room almost all the time.
In my first drop, I could study 10+ hours a day. But every year my concentration became worse. By the third year, I couldn't focus properly even if I wanted to.
My family says that since my BSc is already going on, I should just finish it and immediately start preparing for banking exams after graduation.
But honestly, I don't think I can jump straight into another exam-preparation lifestyle. I'm afraid I'll fall back into the same isolation loop that already ruined my NEET journey.
I feel like I need one year to reset my life:
- Join a regular college.
- Build a social life.
- Make friends.
- Go to the gym and improve my health.
- Travel occasionally.
- Improve my productivity and focus again.
- Become mentally healthy before entering another serious preparation phase.
So my current plan is:
- Continue my BSc Biology (2 years remaining).
- Also join a regular BBA this year because attendance and academics are comparatively manageable.
- Prepare for CAT during BBA.
- Since CAT and banking exams (IBPS, etc.) have a good amount of syllabus overlap, I'll prepare for both gradually.
- During the first year, I'll also explore freelancing and tech/AI-related skills. If that works, great. Otherwise, I'll switch to full preparation mode for CAT/banking in the following year.
The timeline would roughly be:
- By the time my BBA 2nd year finishes, my BSc Biology will also be completed.
- I'll use my completed BSc degree to appear for CAT and banking exams.
- During the gap between exams/results and MBA admission, my BBA final year will also get completed.
So eventually I'll have both BSc Biology and BBA degrees.
My question is:
Does this strategy make practical sense?
Am I making a mistake by joining another degree mainly to escape isolation and rebuild myself?
If you were in my position, what would you do differently?
Is taking one year to rebuild my mental health, discipline, and social life before going all-in for CAT/banking a reasonable decision?
I'm looking for honest advice, even if it's critical. Thanks for reading.
Note:- according to ugc rules dual degree is allowed if one is regular and one is private.myquals:- regular(bba) and private(bsc bio). Also I'm doing bsc bio from a "jugad college" like I have relatives professor out there so mai bas sem exam dilane jata that too without study too much"ykyk" so yeh degree ka mera 1 percent ka load nahi hai its just bas saal me 4 5 din college me beth ke ana.(Isolation booster:)
My younger brother is doing engineering in Pune. Just done with his 1st year.
But he's not that interested and has 3 subjects backlog from 1st sem. Hes actually interested in music but we gave engg as a backup. But with current market scenario, looks like engg itself would need a backup till the time he graduates.
I'm thinking of asking him to drop and continue with our family business of salon and pursue music on the side. So even if music doesn't work out for him, the salon business will be a backup.
What should I do. I'm very confused.

I'm currently a student in Bsc Zoology and while my first preference is studying well enough to get a good college in masters and then go down the research route, the possibility of doing an Mtech after msc is also looking promising.
I know that for core engineering courses I won't be eligible in top colleges but for Mtech in interdisciplinary ones, for eg Mtech in Nanoscience at JNU, I do stand eligible provided I clear the cutoff. I want to know if I will be eligible for placements provided I've got a biology background?
Are there any other course+college combinations that you can suggest that accept biology background people?
Is this a common pathway, has anyone done this from biology?
My qualifications:
X - 96%, XII - 90%, Bsc Zoology second year
myquals 10+2
I am going to college next month.
Can somebody please suggest me best laptop for btech cse Ai/ML?

19F, 2 year dropper for neet. I want to leave the medical field behind. I'm thinking of preparing for CAT while I'm in my ug.
I'm not eligible for ba eco hons in du as I did not have maths in 12th grade but a genuinely good private university might admit me for that course, but it's not their flagship programme. So the general prestige around the University doesn't apply to the specific course of ba eco hons.
My question is should I go for eng hons in a very low tier du as I'll have some time on my hands for cat prep and also have the du tag which helps during placements (ig?) or should I go for ba eco hons in the private university because that course would actually keep me somewhat employable if CAT does not work out. I'll probably also have more internships on hand in the econ course. And more corporate exposure too.
My profile is already pretty weak.
Myquals:
10th: 85%
12th: 76% (PCB)
2-year NEET dropper
Also, how much will the double drop affect my placements if it's pre ug?
My qualifications: Passed Class 12 (PCM) with 60%.

Hi everyone,
I recently passed Class 12 with 60% in PCM, and I'm at a point where I have to take admission this year. Taking a drop isn't an option for me.
The biggest problem is that I genuinely don't know what I'm interested in. Whenever I ask people for advice, they say, "Do what you're passionate about." But that's exactly what I'm struggling with—I have no clear passion or career goal.
Almost all of my friends are joining B.Tech CSE with different specializations. The thing is, I have zero coding knowledge. I don't know Python, C++, Java, or any programming language. I've never built a project or explored coding before. This makes me wonder if I'll even be able to survive or perform well in CSE.
At the same time, I also have some interest in business, so I've been considering BBA. But after researching online, I found that the average salary after a BBA seems to be around ₹4–5 LPA, whereas B.Tech CSE graduates often get ₹6–10 LPA (though I know this depends on skills and college).
I'm just an average student—not a topper, but I'm willing to work hard once I choose a direction. My parents are not forcing me into any career. They simply say, "Choose whatever you want, but be successful in it." That support is great, but it also makes the decision entirely mine, and I'm scared of making the wrong choice.
So I have a few questions:
Can someone with zero coding background succeed in B.Tech CSE if they're willing to learn from scratch?
Is choosing CSE only because of better job opportunities a bad idea?
Should I choose BBA if I have a slight interest in business, even though the starting salaries are generally lower?
If you were in my position, what would you do?
Please be honest. I'd really appreciate advice from people who have studied or are currently studying B.Tech CSE or BBA. Even a few minutes of your time could help me make one of the biggest decisions of my life.
Thank you so much.

Options for research or industry
Don't wanna become professor or teacher
myquals-diploma I stay whole day in indian library i can't seem to retain anything at all I am lost totally please help me . It's not that I am not putting efforts but i genuinely can't seem to retain anything at all
myquals I am 18m recently finished my class 12th.
I come from lower middle class family(low funds for future) .I've applied for my state University, for bcom hons. Also have filled an application for Bca in a tier 2 pvt university................................................................ I am very confused about what to do, people suggest bcom is a useless degree, so I thought I'd manage with learning multiple skills and doing internships. I have already started learning excel, will start PowerBl and python and do some projects. And try to learn a lot of skills to be employable using LinkedIn , But people keep telling me these skills are very basic and everyone knows that. ( Which eventually tells me that maybe I should not follow this plan? )...................................................................... Okay. I decide to shift to bca or bsc in data science and Ai for future proof career. Also with these I decide that I'll learn python and other skills and use GitHub. Now people tell me that first year btech student will destroy any bsc or bca student and they usually dominate the industry. What am I supposed to do at this point if every industry is dominated by engeneering students?.................................................. I simply want to earn money in whatever field it is, coming from a lower middle class family I would do anything to have immense wealth, and I do not wish to pursue average life style. I want to atleast achieve the top 2% . If anyone can give any sort of advice or information it would be very helpful.............................. . . Also I know about professional courses like Acca, Ca , cfa it's just that I do not want to do those, no interest in intense accounts.

I'll most likely get into Zakir Husain (DU) for either B.Com Programme or B.A. English hons.
My plan is to prepare for CAT alongside my undergraduate degree. Initially, I was choosing my degree based on CAT, but someone advised me to consider long-term employability instead.
That's where I'm confused. A B.A. Programme is generally considered less valuable than an Honours degree. On the other hand, a B.Com Programme graduate with good skills may be more employable than someone with a B.A. English (Hons.) degree. If CAT doesn't work out, I'll most likely pursue higher studies.
Given this, which option makes more sense? Top priority is CAT prep
Myquals 74.3% in 12th PCMB.
Considering BSC in geology ( govt uni) out of pure interest and online BCA as a backup option, if things go south.
However, looking at the job prospects after bsc, I’m contemplating if I should pursue BTech from private college (LPU). Honestly BTech provides sense of job security.
I would really appreciate your honest and genuine advice. Apologies if any of this sounds too naive.
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:
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!

How to choose a professional course?
My qualifications are 12th passed and gonna pursue bcom hons. There are multiple professional courses in India that im confused which one is right for me? Like CA, CMA , ACCA, CFA, FRM and many more which i cant even remember. I wanted to ask how did you guys figure out the right path for you? I kinda feel excitement for CFA even tho i never really invested yet still but I doubt doing it because of how expensive it is.
As the title says ,im in the first year of degree [bcom finance] can I get a job after this ,even 10,000 per month is fine I really need a job after I graduate cuz my family is in a really bad situation financially so I wanna help as much as I can. Is bcom really a useless degree as people say? Please help me if I can or can't find job after this without having mba
Myquals: degree 1st yr
Myquals : recently graduated from a three year bachelor's course and I was debating whether i should take a gap year for better opportunities but then this thought came to mind.
If you help me, only good things will happen to you on 10th of july 2039.
My qualifications, 12th : 60%(pcm)
After i miserably failed my engineering entrance exams , I'm left with only one option which is bsc cs as I'm very passionate about coding and I have prior experience. Will I suffer in the job market after my degree (thinking of doing) or can I get similar packages with btech folks , my college isnt that great cause i checked the placement records and all bsc cs grads have ended up in marketing roles
I planned to get deep into cyber sec but that too is getting oversaturated
Help a little brother out 🙏🏾
I’m 24 and with a drop year under my belt already,my qualifications are BA in English back in 2023 and currently pursuing B.ed. Competitive exams aren’t my thing so CUET PG for MA and NET JRF are already scaring me. What should I do right now, considering B.ed will still take a year more.

Hi everyone,
I'm 19F, and this was my 3rd attempt at NEET (2 drop years). Honestly, I'm not expecting to get a medical college this time.
For the past few days, I've been reading about CAT, MBA, and career options outside medicine. Since I've spent the last few years focused only on NEET, I don't know much about this field.
"Myquals"
- 10th: 97%
- 12th: 88%
I'm worried about whether my 2-year gap after 12th will be a problem for CAT, MBA admissions, or placements later.
Right now I'm confused between two options:
Join a local BSc college and give NEET one last attempt alongside it.
Accept that medicine isn't for me anymore, focus completely on BSc, build my profile, and prepare for CAT in the future. Along with that apply for cds
I'd really appreciate advice from people who have taken a similar path or are familiar with MBA admissions.
- Does a 2-year NEET gap negatively affect CAT admissions or placements?
- Is it worth trying NEET one last time while doing BSc?
- Can someone with my academic profile still get into a top MBA college if I perform well in graduation and CAT?
Any honest advice would really help. Thank you!
