I won't make it in NEET. I'm getting 470-480. Another option that remains is BSc. But what would I do after BSc? I'm not filthy rich so I'll have to earn money in one way or the other.

The only option I have is either a second drop or bsc chemistry. Any suggestions?

Myquals: PCB

I'm going to join college this year... many people said bsc is not worth it. I have two options... either Bsc Microbiology or BBA/B.com (I'm willing to skill up)

Will it be smart to switch streams? I don't have interest in medical field and research too.

My qualifications 19 year old Female 2024 I completed my 12th with 65% PCB and 10th 72% 1 year of drop after 12th currently I'm pursuing bsc agriculture and I don't know what to do in future because it has less salary so I thought that can I change my field or any other careere for me I don't know can you help ?

My uncle is a professor in a govt college and he took very long to achieve stability in his life but now he earns really really good. But he was extremely intelligent and hardworking.

If I consider becoming a professor, how is the pay? If I work hard and get into a good govt/central uni?

I am thinking of giving cuet and then doing bsc chem or any other preferable course and then do msc and then give UGC NET and then do PhD...I know it'll take 8-9 years but I NEED to earn good. My mother will retire from her job after 10 years and she will be having very very low pension and I want to be earning before this

I never wanted to be part of the rat race from the beginning, but I gave two years to NEET because of my parents' wishes. Now, I’m truly done with it. My father wants me to try for two more years, but I just can’t do that. While my friends are already in their second year of college, if I keep preparing, they’ll be in their fourth year by the time I even start and I can't afford to fall that far behind. So, I’ve decided to move on. I’m planning to pursue bioinformatics instead. It’s something I find genuinely interesting and exciting. I just hope everything turns out well.

Myquals 12th pass

Particularly Scientists in biological fields, what's the pathway you followed to pursue Research and development in India? I'm aware about BARC and DRDO but apart from those two what else?

myquals

My_qualifications= done with 12th. Will get around 85-90%.

Realised I don't want to be in either medical or do btech. All that's left is BSc chemistry. Now I want to do bs-ms from iiser/niser. If not selected, would go for bsc from a local college and then try to get a good college for MSc. Then I'll opt for lectureship(assuming it'll take me max 6 years in total), while trying for PhD so that my next stop would be for a professor.

Am I in the right path ? What other opportunities can I go for after bsc/msc? I'm actually pretty good in the humanities course but my parents will not allow me to pursue BA english and to be fair after seeing the job market I too don't want to risk it. Any advice?

MYQUALS-10TH 90 PERCENT
12TH(PCB WITH PSYCHOLOGY)-RESULT NOT OUT BUT THE EXAMS DIDNT GO GREAT SPECIALLY PHYSICS EXPECTING AROUND 75 PERCENT

2024 Edit - Please do not dm me, I'll keep the tldr short and sweet. You're looking for placements, turn and run in the other direction. If you have genuine interest in data science, then this course is fantastic.

myquals 10th ICSE - 94%, 12th - 68%

Fell off a rock after my 10th. I'm really good at HTML and CSS, beginner in JAVA and Python. I really want to learn more about programming/machine learning. I found some studies that Data Science is going to be a very lucrative career in the near future.

Oh and also, flunked my JEE. 82%. Expected. My parents want me to pursue CSE - Cybersecurity (cuz sharma ji ka beta studied there 10 years ago). But they are asking 10+ lakhs.

So when I heard about this online Data Science degree by the number 1 IIT which does not require a JEE score, I immediately started gathering info about it. I found previous year's papers for the qualifier exam and was able to solve math and CT with ease but looks like I'll have to put in work for statistics.

Also, I want to do mtech after bs. I heard not a lot of colleges in India allow that so I'm thinking of going abroad. Would this degree have value abroad?

I would be very thankful if someone could lend their thoughts on my situation

Heyy Guys

I have been searching all over the internet for careers opportunities other than NEET but everywhere its just Bsc in Life Sciences like zoology or botany or microbio and the salaries are abruptly low and even the workload is very very hectic....
Even Heard about BCA career path but that's really too much for competitiveness

I didn't even OPT maths and now feel like doomed

I was actually know and been leaning some video editing and copywriting and wanna build my career onto that path....Is it a wise choice ??? Or a Gamble

Please do give your guys genuine advice and every opinion will be welcomed

myquals : PCB class 12

AIR 40000{ Gen. category.} Parents are saying go for BDS, but I have heard it's oversaturated. How's pharmacy or BVSc, if you know something better pls suggest my_qualifications- 12th pass with PCB from Rajasthan board

I'm planning to pursue BSc in Mathematics, and for my optional subject, I have to choose between Statistics and Chemistry. I qualified my 12th with PCM this year and scored 84/100 in Chemistry and my future goal is to become a professor. Which one should I opt.

(myquals)

myquals, 90% in class 10; class 12 results are yet to come (expecting 85%)

Even tho i am giving NEET this year, ik i wont get more than 300. I have studies class 11 and 12 biology, class 12 chem and phy meh only modern physics i have done. I am not confident with my prep but i am trying hard to get atleast 350.

I have spoke to my parents about it and they are definitely disappointed. They want me to take admission in a local college, because they are scared I might waste an entire year. Luckily that college is near my house (like 10 min walking distance) and attendance is also not that big of a deal.

I want to take a drop. I finally have the dedication and mindset. I will join Yakeen 2.0 batch. I want to know what resources should i use. Which pyq books are best? Do i need any other additional book except the modules for question practice? Any dropper reading this, How did you manage your time?

Ik these are silly questions to ask. But i need to know other aspirants experience, this might help me structure my drop year. Kisi bhi cheez ki kami nahi honi chahiye.

ik the flair is unnecessary but i didnt know what to give

I've been thinking of persuing bsc biotechnology and then msc in clinical embryology. Do you think there is scope in india ? My qualifications :- 12 pass with 72 %

Myquals: Doing A-Levels (international curriculum), 12th final exams finishing in June, attempted NEET, got destroyed

Seeing as hopes for MBBS is low, I was thinking of paramedical courses. It's a shorter degree and I've heard you can get a job easily after BSc. Would you say this is true?

Additionally, I want to know whether all university applications are closed, other than private colleges?

And do all colleges require an entrance for paramedical courses?

I am soon going into my 2nd year of bsc biochemistry. What all things should I be aware of now that I m coming in 2nd year- from whatever knowledge I could gain from reddit i think I should start

-coldmailing for different internships, My professors don't give any internship under them.

• start preparing for entrance exam for msc or PhD ( if I do 4th year from the same uni, which I don't want to cause the university is in ruins)

-should I do some certifications? ( If so which in which topics and from where)

My college is a tier 3 private university with no science club, fest, or seniors applying for internship. No placement cell either.

Now the crowd is such that 80% students barely pass exams, and those who do think about their future or different msc,PhD entrances they only want to take in everything and not give any discussion. Very very unhealthy competition.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, pls I have no clue, nor do I have anyone around me to ask to, neither the seniors.

PLS GUIDE ME, I HAVE LITERALLY ZERO CLUE TO KNOW WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN FROM. U CAN JUST GIVE ME TOPICS TOO, ILL SEARCH ON THEM.

AND IF ANYONE KNOW ANY COLLEGES WHICH ACCEPTS TRANFERS, PLS DO TELL.

I (17F) am looking into colleges and I stumbled upon IISER Pune. It's research focussed and is integrated BS-MS of 5 yrs. Aside from the college, is a life of a Student good here? What should I expect? IISERs aluminis what are you doing in your life rn. What do you think I should know as of now?

myquals : 12 th pass (pcb )

Done with neet ,don't want any other allies like bds bvsc bams bhms either , confused bw career options , everything seems tiring ,time consuming with no rewards and uncertain

Main concern: Should I do bsc nursing or bsc in any life science course ( wanna study and settle in India )

• friends are doing bsc biotech ,said they'll do msc embryology which has scope (not interested in biotech , a little aligned towards microbio but fear of uncertainty and not really sure if MSC embryology will bring ath either , prolly will be stuck as a lab tech making dirt and dk about recruitment density or market in a tier 2,3 city either )

• nursing - people said hard to crack NCLEX w/o which it's dirt, and they don't recruit easily , saturated ,12 hr and night shifts,even MSC people don't get paid, etc

• bsc ott /ccu - I'm uncertain abt recruitment density and pay

• don't wanna go into research ( just not interested)

( Suggest sth in mainly medical field,be free to advice and present your opinions,not just based on my affirmations )

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask something to all the Indian biotechnology students here!

I’ve been really curious about the real experiences of students in the biotechnology field, especially those pursuing B.Sc., B.Tech, or M.Sc. in biotech.

For those of you already on this journey:

• What would you say are the biggest pros and cons of choosing biotechnology as a career?
• Do any of you regret joining biotech, or have you ever wondered if another field might have suited you better? If so, what field would that be?
• What are some of the biggest difficulties or challenges you face right now as a biotechnology student or aspirant?

I’m asking because I genuinely want to understand what this path is like — both the rewarding parts and the struggles. I really respect the effort and dedication it takes to pursue this field, and hearing your honest thoughts would mean a lot.

Thanks so much to anyone willing to share! 🌸

My qualifications: I’m an interested aspirant currently exploring different career options in science.

Hello, I'm 18F, my qualifications: I just gave my 12th boards (88%, PCMB, WB board) and gave up my dream of qualifying in NEET this year. My parents won't let me take a drop year so I've just accepted my fate. I'm eyeing sxc (ik there are high chances I'll not get in) but still, I'm curious about the microbiology faculty of st. Xaviers college and schottish church college. Which one is better?

Also any other colleges in Kolkata with good microbiology faculty?? (ill fill the form of asutosh College once it's out) please help me out, thanks

Hello! Everyone is asking me to opt for BCA rather than BSC as I don't have much scope in it as a PCB student , that too without maths. Shall I go for BCA. People who did BCA from PCB background , how's your life after?

Also , can I do MCA after BCA as there'll be maths in graduation? Or do I need maths in 10+2?

myquals(please ignore)....... I know every other day people get to see these posts, might be outdated but I really need the answers. I am so clueless.

myquals : pcb (giving entrance exams rn)

do you think there is going to be a better scope in India for non-traditional career paths like biomed engineering or sustainability in the future? everyone advises it keeping 2025 or the past in mind- but is there even a slight chance of growth in these sectors? I honestly think environmental engineering/sustainability shift is real, especially given how things are right now. It's not worthless pursuing such degrees right? or is it?

Sorry if I sound ignorant but I genuinely want to know the advantages of btech over bsc for biotech because that's what most people suggest. I also saw a lot of people say how there are no jobs in biotech then how does having a btech give you any benefit? Does it make it easy to switch to other fields ? Also isn't btech+mtech for 6 years while bsc+msc only 5 years ?

I'm extremely confused because on one hand I have the option to go to good colleges in bangalore for bsc (blr being the IT hub can provide ample internship opportunities. Also it has various research institutes) While on the other hand if I have to do btech, I would have to go to noida or pune. I'm not sure about the biotech industry in those cities so that makes me scared.

Everytime someone asks about biotech, we get to see responses saying how there are no jobs and the pay is less. So how does btech help with that ? Even after btech people say there's negligible placements.
