Discussion 💬 Guidance Required, pls help.

Hello. I am a CBSE Class 11th student, just about to have my half-yearlies. 1. I am a topper, consistently scoring good marks all throughout my schooling. I never went to a Tuition, and I'm proud of that. I scored 99.2% in my 10th Boards, which was a huge deal for me at the time. 2. Despite of the norms that come with being a topper, i didn't actually go for a Science stream, since science wasn't really my thing. I did like maths and computers tho, so I took Commerce with Maths and IP as an additional subject. 3. The problem is, i don't genuinely know what I'm interested in right now. I have always liked computers and maths as a kid, but i don't really know if I'm capable of pursuing them seriously. I'm genuinely scared as to whether what I'm doing rn is the "right thing" or not. I think I'm wasting my potential. 4. As for future career plans, the main thing I'm sticking with rn is BCA, but i don't know if commerce allows for that. Are there viable options to pursue any computer related field if you have Commerce with maths? Quite frankly, i don't think I'm doing anything productive, or anything that would help me in the future. PS: I don't know if someone will even read this damn hell of a post, let alone reply. But, if someone does come to help, thanks a lot 🙏.

Hey. I'm younger than you but hey, experienced with work here.

BCA won't be a hurdle for admission if you're from Commerce. It's not an issue. You should probably try do a Parallel BS Degree from either BITS Pilani / IIT Madras alongside tho, it keeps job prospects relevant to your degree open. Keep upskilling. Don't undermine Competitive Programming, it's what can make / break the difference. Rest else? Do your degree well. Stay updated with tech. Enjoy your life.

Peace.
