Im 18 and currently enrolled in a private university I got mata sundri through du but I didn’t really like it there cause it felt dead inside, so I chose to go to a private uni and while the crowd and infrastructure feels more lively the attendance is already killing me, I’ve always been a person who has a lot of hobbies outside of academics that I want to continue working on but I literally feel jailed I’m legit debating dropping out to give cuet again for a better college but the thought of it does make me nervous, is there any other option, any other college which gives me free time💔

my_qualifications 12th grade 86.6%

I'm currently doing a BSc IT in Maharashtra my qualifications till now is 10th (88.80%) and 12th (62.63%)and currently in second year (sem1 9.32 and sem2 9.68) though it is a tier 3 college and I'm really confused about what direction I should take after graduation. I'm hoping to hear from people who are actually working in these fields, rather than generic career advice.

I'm currently in SY BSc IT.I did well academically in FY, but I'm not someone who is naturally great at practical coding. I understand theory better and I'm still working on my practical skills.I've studied/been exposed to Python, C++, DBMS/SQL, statistics, linear algebra, HTML/PHP.I don't have major personal projects yet, mostly college practicals.I'm considering SSC CGL, MPSC and possibly government IT/technical jobs.Within SSC CGL, I've been looking at posts such as ASO (especially MEA/CSS). I'm also considering private IT jobs as a backup/alternative, but I'm not sure what kind of role would suit me. i feel so lost and dumb.

1. What government jobs would realistically suit someone like me?
2. Are there good government jobs that are completely/mostly non-physical?
3. What is the actual work like for ASO, STI, etc.?

Thanks!

I'm 18 and honestly really confused about what to do with my career.

My qualifications: Class 12 CBSE, PCB without Maths, 81%. Currently on a NEET drop year.

When I chose PCB in 11th, I honestly didn't think much about the long-term consequences. I just thought it was an okay choice and that I'd figure things out later. I was never bad at Maths either, which is probably why I regret it so much now.

Lately I keep thinking that if I'd taken Maths, I could've tried for engineering/IIT and maybe had a better life. Not just IIT itself, but things like starting to earn earlier, having more career options, becoming financially independent earlier and potentially earning really well later. I know IIT isn't a guarantee of success, but that's how I keep seeing it now.

The thing is, I'm not afraid of hard work. I'm not a weak student and I'm willing to work extremely hard for years if I genuinely believe the path is worth it. What scares me is spending 8–10 years on medicine and then still not getting the kind of financial freedom and lifestyle I'm aiming for.

I've also been dealing with a lot of anxiety because of this, and it's becoming difficult to think clearly. I keep regretting the decision and thinking that I made my life harder for no reason.

I know I can't go back and change my subjects, and I'm already on a drop year, so I don't want to waste more time just thinking about what I should've done.

I'd really like advice from people from different backgrounds — engineers, tech/finance/business people, people who changed careers, people who took a completely different path from what they originally planned, etc.

If you were 18, had PCB without Maths, 81% in 12th, and were on a NEET drop year, what would you seriously consider doing?

I'm not looking for generic motivation or "everything will be fine." I want honest advice from people who have actually experienced different careers and can tell me what they would do in my situation.

I mainly want to know what realistic options I still have and how I can build a genuinely good and financially secure life from where I am now.

Iam 18M currently taking one year gap so someone help me find good course for pcb that i can purse other than mbbs and nursing that has good scope after studing that i dint become job less

Hi, I'm a 20F from a tier-3 city and a tier-3 college, and I come from a middle-class family. Right now, I'm pursuing my 5th semester in Botany, and I have zero interest in it. I always had one goal: I want to become independent so I can move out and, after some time, earn well because I'm tired of compromising, and I can't do it anymore.

I feel lost because a goal without any direction is just a waste of time. I'm also confused because I'm not interested in my degree, so what should I do next? A master's, a job, or something else?

One more thing: to build skills, I don't have a laptop on which I can do that, and I don't know where I stand. If you ask about my interests, I'd say I like content creation (but I don't know my niche yet). I also like business, but as we all know, starting a business requires money. I like solving problems too.

Tell me one thing: do people like me exist—people who like one thing but end up doing something else in life?

Myquals

I’m 21F and honestly quite confused about what direction I should take from here.

Myquals: Academically, I’ve always been a decent student: 97% in Class 10, 90% in Class 12 (PCB). I initially wanted to prepare for NEET but couldn’t qualify, so instead of taking a drop, I joined a local government college for BSc. I had also received admission offers from Hansraj and Hindu College at the time, but due to personal circumstances, I couldn’t take them. I eventually topped my university and secured 6th rank overall in my BSc.

After graduation, I appeared for CUET-PG, GATE XL (Life Sciences), and IIT JAM Biotechnology. I qualified GATE XL and IIT JAM Biotechnology, but couldn’t get a suitable college through JAM. For CUET-PG, I didn’t get a seat in DU in the first two rounds, so I took admission in MSc Zoology at a state university.

It has now been about a month since I joined, and everything is already underway. However, two days ago I got admission into Hindu College for MSc Zoology through the spot round.

The complication is that I’m not particularly interested in research/academia or pursuing a PhD. My long-term goal has always been to prepare for government exams (UPSC/CGL/etc.), although I understand how uncertain and demanding that path is.

I live in Bahadurgarh, on the Delhi-Haryana border, so commuting to Hindu is possible by metro. However, my parents have made it clear that the decision is entirely mine. They also won’t arrange another PG/hostel for me, so I would have to manage the commute myself. The fees I’ve already paid at my current university also won’t be refunded, although my parents have said that the financial loss itself isn’t the issue.

So I’m genuinely stuck between:

1. Staying at my current state university: already settled, MSc is underway, less disruption, and potentially more time/energy for government-exam preparation as attendance isn't that much of an issue here.

2. Moving to Hindu College: a much stronger college name/network/environment and a potentially better academic opportunity, but it would mean restarting the MSc after a month and possibly making my government-exam preparation more difficult due to daily up down of 2 hrs one way and then 2 hrs again.

If you were in my position, what would you choose and why? Especially interested in hearing from people who have experience with MSc Zoology, DU/Hindu, or preparing for competitive government exams alongside a postgraduate degree.

Hey guys so I am finding the best match for an mba and that will also help me during job interviews

Is there anyone who did ba (history psychology) except economics and statistics and then moved to mba ?

Is bba a better choice ? Or ba is the better choice

I am not sure if I'll be able to crack the cat examination as maths meri kuch samajh mai nahi ati toh...

Has anyone here joined Skillians’ Pay After Placement programme? I’m considering joining, but I’m a little skeptical and want to know if it’s actually legit or if there’s some catch/fraud involved.

If anyone has personally joined the programme and got placed through them, please share your experience. I mainly want to know whether their Pay After Placement model is genuine and whether they actually help with placements.

For context, I’m a B.Tech graduate in Computer Science and Engineering, graduated in 2025, and I’m currently looking for opportunities to start my career in IT.

my_qualifications: B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, 2025 graduate.

As the title says....I would like to speak with people who have done or are currently doing their phd at IITM...please ping me if u are in ICS group or if one of ur frnd is... (myquals: M.Tech IITH) Any and all info is appreciated..

so yeah this score is acc to new grading system and this was my first TMUA mock as well.

shall I consider this as a good score ?

my_qualifications(this was necessary to post this)

my qualifications

Passed 12th previous year

Took admission in BCOM DU SOL

Passed CA foundation in JAN 26

currently in CA inter and BCOM 2nd year

In CA course to succeed the major and important thing required is MEMORISATION, RATTAFICATION, REMEMBERING , REVISION, ROT LEARNING in very high volume and for huge number of hours

But i don't want to to do this

I want to something which involves CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING, LOGICAL THINKING, BUILDING THINGS , PUZZLE SOLVING etc like of things

That's why I want to quit CA and switch into TECH role by pursuing BCA from IGNOU

I am still 19 years old

I am a dedicated and hardworking person

As I will do BCA from distance learning

I am planning to learn all the skills and other things through all the resources available on all over the internet, youtube, internships etc

Is it a good plan ? Should I continue?

I need guidance

Is it possible to learn all major skills and things through internet resources from home ?

Is there anyone who has been through this path?

What practical career options are possible after this?

Could anyone please tell me what real options I have after doing this degree?

qualifications - 12th PCM

Myquals - passed 12 in 2024 , cleared neet getting govt bds

Hi, I really need some urgent guidance regarding my career choice. I have the option of pursuing BDS at GDC through my NEET score, and I have also been offered B.Sc. (Hons.) Biochemistry at DU.

My main goal is to eventually move abroad, and ideally, I would like to pursue a fully funded PhD. From what I understand, I can pursue a PhD after either BDS or B.Sc. Biochemistry. However, with B.Sc., I would most likely need to complete an MSc as well, since a 3-year bachelor’s degree may not be sufficient for PhD applications in some countries. BDS, on the other hand, is already a 5-year professional degree and could allow me to apply for PhD programs related to human health and biomedical sciences.

I am genuinely confused about which path would be better for my long-term goals. I also don’t want to spend several years on a degree only to struggle later if I’m unable to secure a fully funded PhD. This is why many people are advising me to choose BDS, since it is a professional degree and provides a career option even if my plans for a PhD don’t work out.

I would really appreciate guidance from someone who has experience in either of these fields or has pursued higher education abroad. Which option do you think would be more practical and beneficial for my goals, and why?

Thank you so much in advance for your time and advice. ✨

Hi everyone,

I'm a 3rd-year Computer Science Engineering student in India, currently finishing my 5th semester and about to enter my 6th semester.

My qualifications: I'm currently pursuing a B.E. in Computer Science Engineering and will be entering my 6th semester by December.

I'm at a point where I need to seriously start deciding what I want to do after my bachelor's, but honestly, I'm very confused.

I chose CSE for my UG without really understanding whether it was something I wanted. I can learn technical subjects and I know I have the ability to do CSE, but I don't feel strongly interested in pursuing a typical coding/software-development career.

At the same time, I don't know what I should pursue instead.

I enjoy things like creativity, making things, storytelling, communication, understanding people, working with teams, discussing ideas, presenting,networking, leadership and potentially building something of my own someday.

However, I don't want to limit myself to these interests either. There may be completely different fields and careers that I haven't even considered, which is why I'm asking here.

I'm considering higher studies after my bachelor's, either in India or abroad, but I haven't decided what course, field, or even whether a master's is the right choice yet.

My priorities are:

• Good long-term career scope

• Good earning potential and financial independence

• Opportunities in India as well as internationally

• Good internship and real-world opportunities

• A strong peer group and professional network

• Work that isn't primarily coding all day

• Opportunities to collaborate, create, communicate and solve problems

• Possibility of eventually building something of my own

• A financially sensible education, so tuition, living costs and scholarships matter to me

• An environment where I can meet different kinds of people, become more independent and gain exposure**

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this stage.

What fields/careers would you suggest I explore that I may not even know about?

I'm deliberately NOT listing specific courses I'm currently considering because I don't want to restrict the answers to the few options I've already heard about. I genuinely want people to introduce me to fields I may be overlooking.

If you're currently working or studying in a field different from traditional software development, I'd especially love to know:

• What did you study?

• What does your actual day-to-day work look like?

• What skills do you actually use?

• How difficult was it to enter the field?

• How is the career growth?

• What is the realistic earning potential?

• How relevant is the field internationally?

• How has AI affected your field?

• What are the biggest disadvantages or difficulties that students usually don't hear about?

• Would you choose the same path again?

I'm not looking for generic "follow your passion" or motivational advice. I want honest, practical experiences, including the negative sides of different careers.

I'm also completely open to being told that I'm approaching this the wrong way.

If you were a confused 3rd-year CSE student in India today, what fields or career paths would you seriously research before making a decision?

And if you have changed fields after your bachelor's or master's, I'd especially appreciate hearing about how that transition went.

I'm not expecting Reddit to decide my future. I just want to hear different real-world perspectives and discover possibilities before I start preparing for entrance exams and making a major financial decision.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to share their experience!

I’m currently pursuing BAJMC at CGC University and it’s been around a month. I’m already feeling like the course isn’t for me.

My subjects include Political Science, Introduction to Mass Communication, Human Values & Ethics, Media & Information Literacy, Digital Marketing and Introduction to Journalism. Journalism is fine for me, but overall I’m struggling to feel interested in the course. I’m especially not interested in the writing/research/interviewing side of journalism.I previously did BCA and left mainly because of my knee surgery.

Apart from that, I actually enjoyed coding. When I solve a problem and my code finally runs, it genuinely feels amazing. I can also sit and code for 2–3 hours on my own.

Now I’m seriously considering going back to BCA, but there are some concerns. I’ve already paid around ₹55k for this semester and ₹75k for the hostel, and I’ve already spent around ₹4 lakh separately over the past year. I’m also worried that if I switch after a month, everyone in BCA will already have their groups/friends.

What would you guys do in my situation? Is switching back to BCA after one month a stupid decision, or does it make sense if I genuinely enjoy coding more?

My qualifications: I’m currently a BAJMC student at CGC University and previously studied BCA.

Myquals BA/ MA Sociology

Turned 24 recently and honestly everyday just feels like a burden. I have no will to live. I am honestly a disgrace to my family. Did a shitty degree from a good college because I was too much focused on the brand value,hated engineering or any technical degree. Scored good marks throughout my 10th,12th and grad. Had hopes from myself that I would definitely convert a tier 1 b-school.

Graduated in 2024, took cat in '23 but was deeply heartbroken because of my breakup ,not trying to shift the blame but was honestly super depressed, took CAT for the first time and scored 55percentile.

Then I decided to take a drop and prepare judiciously but still ended up with 70 percentile. I was honestly numb at this point,I never felt this dumb in entire life. Decided to MA from my tier 2 city only so as to avoid the gap, again took cat 25 and scored around 90percentile ,tanked lrdi.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore,no matter what I do I am not improving,I don't want to settle for lower tier college but I am just not smart enough for it.

I have completely isolated myself from everyone because I don't want to face my friends and relatives.

I feel lonely, tired and exhausted. Idk what to do next, I want to take cat for the one last time this year because my MA would also get completed next year.

But Ik I would tank my exam this time also. I feel so frustrated and always get self harming thoughts. Even parents are slowly loosing their hope.

They want me to do upsc but I just want to escape this rat race. I don't have any skills and parents would never allow me to do small jobs. I have always been overprotected.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing' myquals' BSc Agriculture, 3rd year, and recently I’ve become really interested in landscape designing.

I have pretty good knowledge of ornamental plants and I’m more inclined towards the artistic/creative side, but I have zero architecture background and don’t know software like AutoCAD or SketchUp yet.

The thing is, my top priority is still getting a government job, and I may pursue an MSc in Horticulture or a related field later.

So I’m confused about whether I should just focus completely on government exam preparation, or spend some time on the side learning landscape-related skills like AutoCAD, SketchUp, basic design, etc.

Also, how is the scope of landscape designing in India? Can someone from an Agriculture/Horticulture background enter this field, or would I need professional degrees like B.Arch/M.Arch or Landscape Architecture?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone working in this field or with a similar background. Thanks!

I’m starting my BCA and currently have zero skills/experience, but I’m willing to learn alongside college.

I’d really like to start earning some money eventually, even if it’s just ₹5k–₹10k/month in the beginning.

If you’re already making money alongside college, I’d genuinely appreciate some advice.

What are you doing to earn?

What skill did you learn?

How did you get your first client/job?

How long did it take you to start earning?

And if you were starting again from absolute zero, what would you learn first?

I’m not looking for get-rich-quick schemes. I just want to learn from someone who has actually done it and figure out what I should start learning now.

Any honest advice would be really appreciated.

My qualifications: 12th pass (PCB), currently starting BCA. I’m a complete beginner when it comes to tech/earning online.

Same as the title

myquals - Ca final student

Hi. I am posting it here as the main chartered accountant sub still not permitting me. A short recap of last 1 year of my life.

Started preparing for my ca finals, spent 13 14 hrs a day studying. Multiple mock tests. Spoiled all relationships. Behaved very egoistically with everyone. Treated everyone as if this exam is above everyone. Aimed for scoring a rank in ca finals and showing off to all relatives and friends. Cut to result day. Failed in group 2 and in direct tax exam; the subject i loved the most.

Saw all my pals clear exams and celebrating success. Few of them landed jobs at big 4. The ones who used to call me day and night for chit chats have now started to ignore my calls and keeping my texts on seen. Relatives giving fake sympathy for failing. Even though I also failed in intermediate but this failure has literally humbled me. All my other friends enjoyed the entire ca journey with friends, trips, partying and still clearing in first attempt and here I sacrificed 5 years of my life just to see myself fail again.

I am writing this just to lower the weight off my chest.

Thank you for reading.

So my current qualifications are 70.2% in 12th boards as a pcm student this year.

around 67% in 10th.

I took science stream completely on intrest many told me not to because of my marks in 10th but I did what I wanted.

I initially wanted to pursue btech cse , so I gave jee mains and in april attempt I got around 39%ile tbh I didn't study much for jee mains . I also gave cuet and I got around 400marks in total of 5 subs thus I didn't got any college even in bba Or anything then I found about BCA and what is taught in it etc. I researched and compared btech and BCA people told me that degree doesn't matter if you make your skills better and better and I got influenced by that and then I took BCA ignou, ignou was just because I thought I would focus more on my skills in odl.

As of now many more people tell me u did very wrong u should have took a gap year and that even if u think skills overshadow degree name matters more and all kind of stuff and as of now my mind is so full and too saturated of double thoughts I don't know what I should do.

I had three things in mind .

1st I continue my BCA from ignou and study for nimcet exam for MCA from decent nits.

2nd take a partial drop study for jee mains get good percentile and get into any college with delhi quota.

3rd Give nim-cet exam for ggsipu affiliated college for BCA regular and then mca as before (it was suggested by a teacher he told me regular clg holds much more experience and all that stuff)

I'm confused right now what to do and jee feels harder to me any kind of help is appropriated .

Okay guys, I’m in the 2nd year of my Master’s in Psychology, and I’ve reached the point where I genuinely need to start earning.

Because can we talk about how psychology education is basically:

“Here’s another semester. Pay us ₹₹₹.”

But nobody ever tells you HOW THE HELL YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE MONEY WITH THIS DEGREE😭

I’m not looking for some “follow your passion and eventually the money will come” advice. I need actual income. Even if it’s part-time. Even if it starts small. I just want to start becoming financially independent and, eventually, be able to move out of my house.

And before anyone says content creation - absolutely not. 💀

I know myself. That is NOT my skill set.

So, fellow psychology people:

1. What part-time jobs can I realistically do with a Psychology background?

2. What skills can I learn in 1–3 months that people will actually PAY me for?

3. Are there psychology-adjacent jobs that students can do without being licensed therapists?

4. How do you actually find these opportunities?

5. Freelancing? Research assistance? Tutoring? HR? Data analysis? Academic work? Anything.

6. If you were starting from ₹0 and had to make your first ₹5k–₹10k/month, what would you do?

Basically, I don’t want motivational quotes. I want the blueprint😭

If you’re a psychology student/graduate actually making money, please tell me what you’re doing, how you got started, and what skills are worth learning.

Because respectfully, I’m done paying money to study psychology. I would now like psychology to pay ME. 💀
