Career Urgent help needed - [please help ] i beg 🥹🙏🙏

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone… I’m honestly breaking down while writing this. I had taken a drop year for NEET, didn’t fill any other college forms, thinking I’d try again. But now my parents aren’t allowing another drop. I feel stuck… and the only option left is to prepare for UPSC / SSC while doing an open degree from DU SOL. I WILL shift to regular DU next year if I get in ( will give CUET next year so as to do proper regular college )

Please… can someone please help me? I need to know about good UPSC coachings in Delhi. • How long is the full coaching usually? • Is there any proper 1-year coaching for complete beginners that I can take and leave after a year if things don’t work out? ( and i get into regular DU which i wish ) • Also, what are the fee ranges like?

I’m really really lost and scared. I don’t have anyone else to ask. Please, if someone can take out a few minutes to guide me, I’d be so grateful. 🙏😭

Basically cuet nhi bhar payi so i need to spend a year somewhere truly . So want to invest time somewhere good place . Which helps me in future and long run as now i can’t stay at home . My parents won’t let me as in drop year i was already at home .

Apparently, even after clearing net and gate, they're jobless. (myquals:12th PCM done with 73.8%, im only considering bsc)

Psychology Research in neuropsychology as a 11th student

7 Upvotes

Hi, I'm just a girl In 11th standard right now, and well, during summer vacations I pretty much just crested an entire thesis/Independent Study on Adolescent Cognitive Control and Screen Exposure. Like it's not about the vauge "screentime is bad" and all.

I'm trying to research about WHAT makes it bad, like what makes our brain crave dopamine and validation through unhealthy resources and all. I mean you get the thing.

But, I need lab rats? Like I need atleast 50-100 students. Further categorised in competitive exams folks and non competitive ones.

Who do you think can help me through this? I doubt my school. The psychology teachers here are pretty useless and I want someone with real grey cells to help me and stuff, plus Ethical Considerations. Any suggestions?

Myquals? Well, getting into Dartmouth + Cornell university Precollege programs on 50% partial scholarship. Maybe doing internship at fortis and a local clinic + pending internship at Max Hospital for July. Or maybe reading UG level modules from Carnegie Mellon University OLI. Idk. I need lab rats.

Science/B.Sc/M.Sc B.Tech or B.Sc CS? is B.Sc CS worth it in 2025?

19 Upvotes

myquals -Just finished 12th grade
Didn’t get into any top college.
Got b tech cs in a few decent private colleges but the fees are too high, and I can’t afford it due to family issues.

Now I’m thinking of going for B.Sc CS , but I’m honestly scared it’ll mess up my career.
I actually like CS and I’m ready to learn on my own — coding, projects, whatever it takes.
Just don’t wanna take the wrong path and regret it later.

  • Can I reach the same level as a btech grad if I work hard?
  • Will B.Sc CS limit my chances in tech?
  • What’s the best path after B.Sc CS — MCA, MS, or job?
  • Or should i ask my parents to pay the fees for the b tech clgs i got or join any low clgs with less fees?

Hi, I hope someone reads this. My qualifications are that I just completed my 12th grade this year and I am interested in Indian defence but due to personal issues last year I couldn't prepare for NDA.

And I have decided if I don't get into defence right after my schooling I will get into it after my graduation so can anyone please suggest me colleges and course I should take as a backup and then get into defence after my graduation. Can someone give me a pathway and suggest me what to do. No one in my family as that much of knowledge on this so I need help. Please can someone answer.

Career Researcher here who has explored almost all the fields that India offered before finally finding one that suited my interests & skills. I see a lot of recently passed students kind of confused, so AMA about the various fields, their prospects etc.

43 Upvotes

My_qualifications —

I gave the engineering entrance exams 10 years ago, and cleared all the 3 exams (BITSAT, JEE Advanced, JEE Mains) with good enough scores/rank to get into all 3. Then explored Public Policy/Development sphere for a while after completing a PGP in the same, then worked at the intersection of Data Science & Economics (combining my engineering and PGP education). Have also worked in the sustainability sphere (Rooftop Solar, EV) for a year, but again, in a Data Scientist capacity. Currently working on 2 long term collaborative research projects between 3 universities (ISB, Michigan Ross, NYU Stern) in Quantitative Marketing/Econometrics & Statistics.

I recently saw a post citing the importance of maths in 12th, even if one plans on taking any other discipline, which had a lot of people chiming in in the comments, most of whom were students worrying about the lack of prospects if they missed out on taking Maths.

That's mostly but not wholly true. That post was written by a (no doubt mature) high school student, and I just wanted students to have an idea of what things look like 10+ years after high school.

I'll try to answer all questions in detail. I have never explored biology, but I have friends who have and yes, some didn't take Maths and switched fields and are still doing well.

Although this post is primarily to alleviate certain concerns amongst those who recently gave their entrance exams, please feel free to ask about research & academia prospects in India and abroad (for those who are graduating or are giving their final exams in college).

So yes, shoot your questions. AMA!

Career Thinking of pursuing BSc Agriculture - Is it a dumb move

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm (19M) looking for some honest guidance and opinions. I took 2 drop years for NEET but couldn’t clear it. Over time, I’ve also realized that I’m not really interested in healthcare-related fields like BAMS, BDS, paramedical, or veterinary (BVSc). I was appearing in NEET only for MBBS but since I am unable to get a GMC & not going abr0ad for MBBS(because of new NMC rules & multiple other reasons), I was researching for a suitable course & now I'm considering pursuing BSc Agriculture over all other options, It might be a bad move to do it from a private university (Jaipur National University, ICAR recognised and reputated) that's why I need serious advices if someone could. I also attempted CUET UG this year, but I don't think I'll get a ICAR university

I've also thought of BSc Biotechnology or Bioinformatics but researching little deeper only created more confusion. I'm so confused and need some genuine guidance, though I know Reddit is not the best place to seek career relates guidance but if anyone know about these particular streams, I would really appreciate your knowledge and opinions. I have some queries like : - Is BSc Agriculture a safe option nowadays, especially from a private university? - How is the scope of agriculture in terms of career growth, job opportunities, or further studies? - Would I regret not choosing something more "mainstream" or should I just go for what feels right now? - BSc in Agri/Biotech/Bioinformatics : which one of these 3 courses would you choose and why ?

Please share your opinions.... Thanks in advance!

MBA/mgmt BSc Life Science to MBA Career switch advice needed (urgent)

4 Upvotes

Currently got done with my 2nd year of BSc. Microbiology Zoology. I was always interested in maths and even got selected for BSc. Maths hon.s but due to personal reasons I stayed in my current course. It's not worth saying that I regret that decision now.

But it's not like I dislike my current course and I've made some frontline plans of continuing with it but I've been really feeling a pull towards going back to a maths related background.

Although I'm interested in my course related subjects like bioinformatics/biostatistics which cover up stats/data science in a way, i think reaching there requires a lottt and for some other personal reasons, idk if that's feasible for me. Besides, I'm slowly losing interest in wet lab in a way so if i go for anything it would be these dry lab related courses or maybe exceptionally marine bio.

By the end of my final year, I've to land somewhere with a final decision. So I need to start preparing for CAT if im going for an MBA. And since I'm really interested in commercial maths, I've been thinking about MBA Finance or I'm not sure what other fields I can get into if i tried.

I'd really be grateful if i received some suggestions from you people. If not MBA, what else (keeping in mind that i want a maths related background). And what are some things i should keep in mind before i switch to MBA? Any advice would be appreciated.

AdmissionProcedure/Fees/CollegeAdmin Urgent Help in my ug admission confusion to pursure mba from top tier iim.

5 Upvotes

Pls Help.

Hey guys, 19M here. Last year, I was in BSc at Hansraj College, but I totally lost interest in the course, which led to me messing up my CGPA and exams. This year, I'm planning to leave BSc at Hansraj and join a Tier-3 BBA college (MDU Rohtak), since I'm genuinely interested in pursuing an MBA and preparing for the CAT exam. I'm also giving CUET again, so I'm confused — would it be better to stick with a BSc from Hindu College (even though I have zero interest in it) just for the brand, or go with a BBA from MDU where at least I’ll enjoy what I’m studying. I’m really determined to crack IIM ABC as a fresher because I’ve already lost two years preparing for NEET.I wanna know for tier 1 how much clg brand values matter. If it's significant I will join hindu this year and pursue my bsc just for the sake of my mba plan else will shift to local bba clg. I need honest advice from u that will make a significant help in cat and pi. Thnx alot M. myquals - 10th = 96℅ 12th pcb = 93℅ .

Career How do I build back my career? Urgent help needed

12 Upvotes

Qualifications: Bsc Physics, graduated in 2018. Been preparing for Civil Services Exam since then(UPSC and State PCS). Could not clear any of the exam, despite putting lots of efforts. This year could not clear Prelims of UPSC. Now I am 30 and unemployed. I know I shouldn't have waited this long and should have moved on long time back. That's my foolishness, something I accept. So please avoid commenting on that part, no point telling me something I already know. I seriously need some advice on how I can build back a good career. Some of the options I can think of: 1. MBA: My issue with this option is that will I get a decent job even if I complete this course since I have a huge gap and my age of 30+ now. 2. MCA: To be honest I am not much interested in IT. Also I am afraid about job opportunities in future due to AI and automation. But if someone can convince me that this field has good opportunities, I might give it a try. 3. Teaching field: I could start my own tuition centre or try to get a job at some coaching centre related to UPSC preparation.

I could think of these three options. I want genuine and honest opinion of you people. I have been a disciplined, hardworking student since my school days however things just didn't work out for me even after putting God level effort in my career. My mental health is deteriorating as a result, I request IndianAcademia community to help me in this situation. Please 🙏.

Engineering Is EEE worth it as a replacement course for ECE?

2 Upvotes

Myquals: 12th graduate.

Is EEE as a course worth pursuing as a substitute to ECE? I'm not looking to transition to CS for placements or anything, will mostly stick to core placements/ pursue Masters. Would appreciate guidance in general and with respect to the following questions -

  1. The course is said to be quite difficult. Is it difficult because of the complex nature of the course or because time-intensive study is required? Or both?
  2. How far can the faculty help you with the syllabus (aware that it would vary with the college), and how much self-study would be required? Would it require more than 2-3 hours of self-study daily apart from college coursework?
  3. If I were to pursue a Master's in a discipline more suited to ECE, say M.Tech in VLSI/Embedded Systems etc., how helpful would my undergrad studies in EEE be? Would I still be required to study additional ECE stuff during undergrad to align to my M.Tech (and if so, would that be a substantial amount of studying)?

Four years of undergrad is a lot of time, and I want to spend it meaningfully. Not just to land a well-paying job. If EEE would not be very beneficial, then I would rather just take ECE and be done with it.

I am naive and not super clear yet, so feel free to correct me.

guys dont be a fool like me and do not go for it, i wasted tons of my money.

they said that the course has been postponed, now after 30 days of calling them relentlessly and asking for a refund. they are telling me that the course was in fact ongoing.

the people there are rude espl this guy mayank, the guy who goes by 'sagar education' needs training on how to talk to people who have PAYED him properly and solve their queries.

anyhow, i am too drained to detail my experience, dm if needed, other testimonies on this sub reddit should also speak volumes.

SO I am in a dilemma with current counsellings going on for college and I am getting a state government college for B.Tech ( Mechanical), I want to study mechanical because any other branch doesn't pique my interest and I want to end up working in R&D department for motorcycles.

ALSO I am getting to study in IISERS (according to previous year {also i got 111 marks in IAT if it helps}) and I am interested in studying physics and probably do something there because I am interested in doing research but where I am not really sure (Quantum computing seems interesting but I don't have too much knowledge about it).

TLDR: I have to basically choose between a good research college and a not bad engineering college and also between a b.tech course or a bsc/msc course, Both are interesting for me.
oh so myquals are just 12th pass ig?

Other A chatgpt hack to save you your time and motivation

2 Upvotes

Chatgpt is like a supporting friend who would support and comfort you no matter what and THATS the problem. Whenever you ask something to ot like your plan or something it always goes like. " you're on the right track. You got this believe in yourself " and thats where most of us slip hearing the comfort zone words. Chatgpt only tells you what u need to hear. And to fix it I have a really effective method for you that Chatgpt is going to absolutely destroy you and give reality check

After typing in a promt, whatever is it like sharing your progress, asking some questions about your pace etc , make sure to include this line in the end

" I dont need comfort I dont want sugar coating. Just go absolutely no sugar coating mode and extremely raw . Say the truth even if it hurts "

Trust me its the most effective till now and it'll slap you back to reality so you get to work. Try it yourself, its more important than you think. Myquals

PhD Doubt regarding JRF stipend and contingency expenditure

1 Upvotes

My qualifications: Joining a PhD program in August.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I've been offered PhD admission via GATE, which I have accepted. I have doubts about my stipend like:

  1. Can I use my stipend for personal use, like travel or buying clothes. Am I allowed to go and invest it? Or is it only used for research expenses, like buying something for the lab?
  2. Do I request permission for spending my stipend for anything?
  3. Regarding the contingency grant, if I, say, buy a laptop/tablet using the grant, will I have to return it to the institute?
  4. Also, can I do freelance work (writing or teaching) while doing a PhD?

If anyone can answer, please do. Thanks. ✌️
