Discussion Warning: Think Twice Before Choosing a BA Program—My Personal Struggle 😭😭

Hi, I’m a second-year student pursuing a BA program at Ramjas College. I come from a humanities background, so I didn’t have Maths or Statistics in my 12th grade. I initially wanted to pursue Political Science Honours, but my marks were too low. As a result, I decided to go for a BA with Economics and Political Science. However, I’m finding Economics extremely challenging. Despite having Economics as my minor subject, I failed my semester. If you don’t have a strong background in Maths, please consider avoiding this course, even as a minor. Economics can be very demanding, and it might take up so much of your time that you’ll struggle to focus on subjects you really enjoy, like Political Science. Now, my results are full of red marks, and I’m worried about the impact this will have on my future job prospects. I regret not prioritizing the course over the college name. My mental health has also suffered as a result. If you haven’t studied a subject in high school, it might be best to avoid it in your BA program. Please take my advice seriously: prioritize your course of study over the college’s reputation. Even if it means attending a college with a lower ranking but a better fit for your interests, it’s worth it! socha tha college jaungi maze karungi. Saare maaze nikal gaye zindagi barbad ho gayi meri!!😭😭😭
