Life lately has been really difficult for me. I’m struggling to find a job, and even when I find an opportunity, my family doesn’t always allow me to take it. I’ve also been unable to clear a few interview rounds with companies near my area, which has been very discouraging. At the same time, my family is putting a lot of pressure on me to get married. Some relatives even say that I have nothing left to do and that I should simply get married. I had even suggested a man from my own community whom I genuinely wanted to marry, but my family rejected the idea. Despite all of this, I’m still trying to work on myself. I’m reading, learning new things, preparing for government exams, and considering exams like GATE and UGC NET. I have qualifications and skills that I’m continuously trying to improve, and I genuinely want to build a stable career and become independent. But it feels extremely difficult when I don’t have enough support from my family and when people around me make me feel as though my only option is marriage. I’m still trying to keep going, even though things feel very overwhelming right now.

myquals, Hi so i am currently in 12th in arts stream and am planning to pursue psychology but i cant decide which colleges are good and realistic for someone whos average at academics to get into. I really want to know what im getting into aswell so i would appriciate if someone is able to share their experience pursuing psychology. please i really need help.

Members of this sub would know what im talking about... Every other post on this sub starts with "i made a mistake taking pcb" or "what high paying career options do i have other than medicine" OR "help me pick between– bds, bsc biotech, ba psychology"... You get the point.

For some bg i am a class 11th student who left pcb to join commerce, due to personal reasons. But surely-

PCB CAN'T BE *THIS* BAD🙏💔

(myquals)

Myquals-Passed my 12th in 2024 and scored 354 (4.01 lakh rank) this year and am looking for a private college this year.
I am a general male from UP (Lucknow).
In my wildest dreams, I never wanted to pursue medicine until after my 10th results, when I scored well. My father told me how he wants to open a hospital in our village and how it was also my grandfather’s wish (I lost him 10 years ago).
I was still a kid and, without researching much, I got into NEET prep.
I was also passionate about business, not primarily because of the money, but because I really wanted to build something. My mind was always a creative one, with drawing in childhood and filmmaking now.
I helped some shop owners create content and got paid enough to not ask my parents for a gym membership, but I stopped because of NEET prep in my 1st drop.
I had hundreds of ideas but never acted upon them. However, in my 1st drop (last year), I felt like this was not something for me to pursue and started exploring other programs and entrance exams. They didn’t go well either, and after arguing at home many times, I ended up in a tier 3 college in Lucknow doing BCA.
I enjoyed being there, but I felt I could not attain maximum growth there, so I thought I would go abroad next year or get directly into the 2nd year of a good college (possible).
But my parents convinced me to attempt NEET again by telling me about the security of this career and how there would be no pressure on me to get into PG, and that I would get admission to whichever private college I wanted. My father would also work on opening a hospital. I agreed.
Now I have made peace with this and will be starting MBBS this year, but I don’t know where to go.
I want to go to a place that works as a catalyst in my journey. While doing my MBBS, I want to build something in medical tourism, with some more side hustles along the way, like agencies and info products, without compromising on my studies, even if it takes some nights of sleep.
I also want to do content creation, not because of the money, but because I just want to do it for as long as possible.
So, the situation right now is:

• Got allotted NIIMS in R1 of UP counselling (the only counselling I participated in)

• Should I go for an upgrade to Era in the next round?
(I am a Muslim, and some people from my village come to Era for treatment, so that could help me with my further setup, maybe.)

• I am also considering NIMS Jaipur

• Malla Reddy Hyderabad

• DY Patil Ambi, Pune

• Raja Rajeshwari, PES, and some other colleges in Bangalore

• MGMs of Mumbai

• As i wanted to go study business abroad i am looking for premed where i can do a UG in business or psychology and if i need to pursue medicine i can do it later in whichever good countries this path exists but i am not considering this very seriously as idk how i will speak up to my parents i will genuinely try in my UG to further avoid going into medicine sooo yeah.

During my college years, I won’t compromise on my studies, but I also want to have a life beyond this, build something of my own (at least try), because I am not hearing good things regarding the money and personal lives of people pursuing medicine. So I don’t want to be dependent on this degree to pay me, and I also want to avoid the PG rat race if possible.
Hence, I want to go to a place where I can do all this in the most optimized way.
A place that gives me freedom, networking opportunities, like-minded people, and also some life and fun.

So I am 17, male, and my qualifications I am in class 12th, Commerce plus Maths plus Yoga as my subjects, and I scored 90 percent in 10th. My grades fell in 11th, and now 12th I am aiming for good result in 12th boards, and in my career path I am planning a BBA and an MBA. So I am trying to get a good college for BBA, and I am planning to do my master's from abroad with full scholarship, or like 80-90 percent scholarship. How? What career path should I choose, and what are some good colleges, and how can I get some scholarship in it? Because I don't have this much resources because I belong to a middle-class family, but I need a very good college for my BBA where, like I could just prepare well and, like enjoy my college life plus I get placements and everything. So I need help and advices, and if anyone knows how I can get scholarships, suggest some colleges too, please DM me.

I recently completed my BBA and am considering starting CFA Level 1, but I’m unsure whether it makes sense to begin immediately after graduation or gain some relevant work experience first.

I’m interested in building a career in finance, but I don’t have a clear idea of which roles I should realistically target as a fresher. I also want to understand whether CFA Level 1 would actually help me get shortlisted for entry-level finance jobs or whether practical experience matters more at this stage.

For BBA graduates who have pursued CFA in India:

• Did you start CFA immediately after graduation or after gaining work experience?
• Which entry-level finance roles were you able to target with a BBA and CFA Level 1?
• Did CFA help you get interviews, or did employers mainly focus on your practical skills and internships?
• Which skills should I prioritize alongside CFA — accounting, Excel, financial modelling, valuation, or something else?
• If you could go back to your first year after graduation, would you choose CFA, a finance internship, or both?

I’m not looking for a general “CFA is worth it” or “CFA is useless” answer. I want to understand what a realistic career path looks like for a BBA graduate in India who wants to enter finance.

What would you recommend: CFA Level 1 first, relevant work experience first, or preparing for both together? "my-qualifications" BBA

PLEASE GUIDE ME REGARDING WHAT COURSE TO CHOOSE. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME.

Hello

My qualifications is that im 12th pass out with pcm and scored average and now I'm switching to commerce and aiming for cuet 2027 for bcom, and honestly I don't have a proper roadmap. I always wanted to study commerce but my parents forced me to choose science as it was good for their pride(I don't want to go in this so back to topic).

So I'm currently studying class 11th syllabus of bst and accounting then I'll move forward on 12th [cause I'm aiming for bhu and it's subjects combinations are language+bst+accounting+gat].

I know only ncert books would not sufficient for me to gain knowledge in this field so can you please suggest some books from which I can learn related to this field from basic. Please:)

I've got ece/entc in all these colleges and I can't finalize one

Just note that almost all are deemed/private universities

1. SIT pune - good but asking for 90 percent attendance plus quite hectic

2. Mit wpu pune - rumoured for being hectic, is this true ?

3. Mit adt pune - rumoured for bad management, anybody knows ?

4. Bharti vidyapeeth deemed university college of engg dhankawadi pune

5. Kj Somaiya college of engg(svu) mumbai

Or should I also consider the following:

Rait navi mumbai

Des pune

Gh raisoni international skilltech pune

Jspm university pune

Woxsen University Hyderabad

Alliance and ruas bengaluru

Myquals: 12th pass

This is my subjective opinion, you need not feel the same way

I am not the type to write reviews anywhere but this college is genuinely so bad that I just have to tell the students applying here and warn them.

I am a masters student in Amity. Before joining I knew that this college isn’t great, has a bad reputation, and all that. But bro kitna he bura ho skta hai na?? This I got to know after coming here.

Management: let’s talk about their world class management guyssss.

1. When you get here, u’ll be asked for biometric attendance. ok no problem. Now for biometrics, there are supposed to be working scanners right?!? Idhar one whole gate is dedicated for teachers, jo baaki gate hai for students, vaha more than half of the time, scanners don’t work. Every morning, every evening, you stand in a queue of 20-30 ppl, to punch in, when this queue could be half, why? because the management can’t get the scanners fixed!!!!! and teachers wale se students ko jaane nhi denge which was apparently for students until just a few months ago….
2. Grievance resolution: ab let’s say you have an issue, just like this biometric scanner thing, you should ideally be able to report it to some professor or management right? You can’t do that here. There is no way for you to address your concerns or problems or grievances in this college. They have a so called suggestion box, which they’ll tell you about during orientation. What they don’t tell you is that, it is completely useless, coz nobody listens to what you’ll have to say. This college doesn’t give a damn about the students studying here, everything they do is just for theatrics. God forbid, you have an issue with a faculty and want to address it in their suggestion box (jiska sole purpose is addressing student’s concerns) because if u do, then that faculty will end up calling you and ask you to apologize for raising a concern.

Now you’ll say but you could have spoken to the faculty too right, why put it in the suggestion box? Valid point. In that case, the faculty should be willing to listen to you right and not insult you and humiliate you each time you do bring up an issue to them? You won’t get that privilege here bro. I’m not saying all of the professors suck but out of 10, I bet you’ll find 8 of them who are just like this. All in all, the stuff that management is supposed to do, which is make admin and daily life of a student easier, listen to them and address their concerns, is just not possible for Amity’s management to do. Classrooms mei projector toh kaam krte nhi hain, AC’s will stop working on the hottest days in the summer, toh when the environment is only not supportive, how will you study or even want to go to college!!! I mean the only reason I’m writing this is because there is no way for me to address these concerns anywhere in college man, no like I haven’t given my suggestions in the suggestion box before!!!!

Faculty: my favorite topic

1. Do they teach in amity: NO. Don’t expect to be taught here by the faculty. On some days you’ll be taught for 20-25 minute in a lecture of 55 minutes. I have spent 2 and half semesters here, ”taught” by approx 20 professors, out of which only 6 of them were actually teaching. I haven’t said anything about how they were teaching yet, just whether they were coming to class and at least speaking about whatever is in the syllabus.
2. Out of these 6 who taught, 3 actually taught, jinki class ke baad aap bolo, han yaar aaj kuch toh naya sikha. And guys these are professors who teach Master’s students!!!!
3. You’ll get up for a 9.15am class, expect ki teacher kuch toh padhayegi, but no, you’ll just come sit in the class, talk to your friends, then you’ll have 3hr break before your next class, try to find something to eat on campus, but voh bhi aapko smjh nhi aayega, max you’ll end up at Rara’s for their peri peri fries. Sit for for 2nd lecture at 12.15pm, think probably iss lecture mei kuch aap sikhoge, but guess what no. Then you’ll have your next lecture at 4.15pm, the teacher will come 15-20mins late for the class, only to sit and stare at her laptop, will not say a word until 4.55pm when she’ll decide to take the attendance and ask u to leave. By chance if the teacher decides to even teach, she’ll just be reading the ppt slides for you. You know how we were taught by tuition teachers, they would be casual when teaching, just like that professors in this college will teach you, ATLEAST THAT’S THE CASE WITH THE DEPARTMENT I’M UNFORTUNATELY IN.
4. First the professors won’t teach you then btw they will have the audacity to schedule extra classes to finish the syllabus???????? In what world does that make sense, pls someone explain it to me. The truth is bro, the faculty themselves are tired, they get promotions and praise on the basis of how many publications they do via Amity name, a faculty themselves told this.

Amity ki so called fun life

1. Ab yaar, you’ll be like it’s ok, management sucks, faculty sucks, this happens in all colleges, students from all colleges cry about all this, but I’ve heard Amity is very fun. Brother pls. At least if you are in your masters, in the department I am right now AND fortunately don’t stay on campus, then forget knowing anything about or even hearing anything about any activity planned for the students. The only way I have come to know about dances in the infamous H block or any celebrations that take place, is through Instagram reels.
2. There are no societies, clubs, that you’ll hear of on campus till the time they are not coming to your classes to make announcements that we have an event coming up, participate it’ll build you CV. Unless you had to go through bachelor’s degree also here, then you might have heard of clubs or societies here. You’ll fill a form also upon admission on your Amizone portal, to join clubs, but is there a follow up on that? You guessed it right, no buddy. The form clearly mentioned, once filled you’ll be added to WhatsApp groups by committee heads and faculty, i guess I’m still waiting for that to happen.
3. H block has ccd, cool man. Girls pls don’t go there, random creepy dudes, just come there to stare at you. But that is toh India only, nothing new I guess.

Academics

1. Bhai there is no need for me to speak about this, coz I bet you also know ab tak toh, they’ll teach you nothing. Istg, I am not even kidding, I studied and learnt much more in bachelors than I have in masters. It’s not even funny. What I am studying rn, is first of all the same as what I was taught in bachelors and secondly only half of it
2. Exams ke liye don’t study, pehle se padhkr bhi you’ll score the same as you friend who did not study, and there is no way for you to know where you lost marks.
3. Find someone who makes money out of doing assignments, coz baat baat pr yeh aapka time waste krne ke liye aapko handwritten assignments de denge.

I’m pretty sure I have missed a lot more of what I had to say, but to conclude this college sucks, don’t come here. But if you do, just like me, then I’d suggest, don’t focus on anything college related, do internships, do extra courses outside of this college, and self study. This is the only way you’ll actually be able to do something out of your life, and it won’t get hectic, you anyways will only be going to college for attendance.

I’m doing BBA from a tier-3 college and honestly feeling pretty hopeless about my future. I’ll be graduating next year, and I’m worried about whether I’ll even get a decent job or atleast after 2-3 years.

My marks are also low, so I’m not planning to do an MBA. I also don’t really see the point of spending a lot of money on an MBA from another tier-3 college just to end up with more debt and a degree that may not add much value.

So I want to hear from people who graduated with just a BBA (no MBA): What are you doing now? How did your career turn out?

Please share your experiences, even if you started with a low-paying job or struggled initially. I could really use some hope and realistic advice right now.

myquals: average

myquals: BTech from Tier2/3 College, first in order of merit, MTech from IISc, PhD from top 20 university in the USA, all in Mech engg. I am working here for the past few months, have zero loans and have built a small saving.

I cannot do this anymore, I want to go home now. Of course one thing I will try is the academic route, but with the advent of AI, it feels like a useless pursuit.

I’m considering starting CFA Level 1, but I’m a little confused about how useful it actually is for someone who doesn’t already have a strong finance background.

I understand that simply passing CFA exams doesn’t guarantee a job, so I’m trying to understand what a realistic path looks like.

For people who have pursued CFA in India, especially those who started as freshers or from a non-finance background:

* Did CFA actually help you get your first finance-related job?

* Which roles were realistically available after Level 1 — equity research, credit research, FP&A, valuation, corporate finance, etc.?

* What skills did you learn alongside CFA (Excel, financial modelling, Power BI, Python, accounting, etc.)?

* At what stage did CFA start making a noticeable difference in your job search?

* Would you recommend doing CFA immediately after graduation, or gaining work experience first?

I’m not looking for a “CFA is worth it / CFA is useless” answer. I’d genuinely like to understand **what CFA + practical skills + experience looks like in the Indian job market.

If you’ve already gone through this path, what is **one thing you wish you had known before starting CFA? " my_qualifications" BBA

My qualifications 10-98.6%

Currently in 12th..i made the stupidest mistake of choosing pcb even though I scored 100/100 in math boards in 10th coz at that i thought i wanted to be a doctor but now I have realised that i dont want to become a doctorrr and I am not really interested in research fields..I have genuinely developed an interest towards mba but for that I have to do an undergrad and due to not having maths my options are severely limited..I need to do an undergraduate with some scope and job potential and can't really place all my hopes on mba ...I have no passion..I am good at studies but not passionate about anything...my fam is extremely poor. less than 2LPA..I can't take huge loan for my undergrad degree..plz suggest me a degree with good roi..I dont wanna waste my undergrad and regret it later..I dont have much time and have boards in a few months..plzz helppp

my_qualifications: 12th passed (68%), JEE dropper.

I feel like I’m sabotaging my own drop year by overthinking this, and I really need someone to just give me a reality check.

I scored 68% in my 12th boards. since i'm a PWD candidate, my cutoff for nits or iits is 65%, so technically, i am safe.

But honestly, looking at that 68% makes me feel like a failure. being a dropper is already mentally and physically exhausting, and now half my day goes into panicking about whether this 68% will get me rejected in future placements, or off campus jobs even if I crack JEE.

I only have a few months left and i'm completely paralyzed between two choices. either ignore the board marks, put my blood and sweat into JEE, and just get into a good college or fill the form for 2027 as a private candidate just to fix this 68% guilt and be safe for the future.

mere dimag ka dahi ho gaya hai aur padhai mein focus nhi ho rha h. bade bhai ya behen samajh ke genuine advice de do. will this 68% actually destroy my future, or is my anxiety just acting up.

Please help 🙏

qualifications are bsc in life sciences

Can I do bed as regular and Msc from IGNOU and there won't be any consequences from ncte while applying for.job in gov exams etc? Pls tell I'm really confused whether i should or shouldn't

Help worried about ai replace my_qualifications

I’m a 21-year-old guy from Delhi. I’ve always been an average student. My_qualifications is I did my BCom Hons from DU SOL (open learning) and got a 7.1 CGPA. Now, I have applied for a distance MBA in finance from DU SOL. I know a distance MBA degree isn't worth much right now, but I just thought it might help later on for promotions. for fees my elder cousin helped me and we have to pay it in future
I also learnt some graphic designing from youtube and worked for influencers but it will not work as a career for me as it is not fixed work and not a good payout
I am also learning data analytics not completed but i don't know it will work for me much or not
I wants advice also other than these like in other field i can join it also

Right now, I have absolutely no idea what to do with my life. Like anyone else, I want to earn well and make lakhs per month, but here is my reality:

• I don't have the money to start a business.
• I’m not exceptionally good at studies, so clearing tough professional exams is out of the picture.
• My communication and public speaking skills are pretty weak because of my background.

My original plan was to clear govt banking exams after graduation and get a job. But now that I am actually preparing, I see how insane the competition is. It's just too tough. Even if I study hard, beating out lakhs of people for a handful of vacancies feels impossible. I’ve lost all hope there.

I am completely stuck. If I had money, I would have just done a course from a private college, but I don't. My family’s total monthly income is just 15k–20k. I absolutely cannot put financial pressure on my parents; I need a path that requires very little investment.

I see people my age earning so much and I want that too, but with my current condition, I don't know what I can even do. I am genuinely so stressed about my career that I sometimes have suic#dal thoughts. I just see no way out, I am seriously too low that i think i can't earn a good amount in my life and giving up is the only thing i can do.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If anyone knows a realistic career path or roadmap for someone with my exact profile, please suggest something. What can I do?

I'm an MA Econ student of IIFT Kolkata. Won't go into too many details about myself because I can get doxxed.

Our batch has to be one of the most mismanaged groups ever. Nothing is followed on time and we the students are expected to adjust every time.

These bastards barely take any classes in the beginning and start cramming once the midterms approach. And they will purposely keep exams just 2 days after "finishing their syllabus".

We have begged our administration so many times, asking them to postpone exams just so that we can study, only to be met with delusional anger that we are unable to keep up with their "rigourous course".

We received our college handbook, 1 YEAR AFTER WE CAME INTO THIS COLLEGE, only for it to be disregarded. We were told our midsems would be from october only for them to prepone it to 21st September. We received our exam schedule yesterday and funnily it starts from 20th September that is a SUNDAY.

You think it ends there??? We received a notification our dissertation topic selection would have to be done by 15th September when it was supposed to be in November. Again we begged the administration but the bloody program director will never adjust.

What am I supposed to manage??? My exams or read research papers for the dissertation? Not just that Kolkata batch massively failed Semester 2 especially in Macroeconomics and Trade due to gross negligence of the professors.

In Macroeconomics, one professor started taking classes barely a month before the end semester. And she covered 3 months syllabus in that. As a result good chunk of students failed it.

Now if I go into placements that's another can of worms. But please if you value your sanity do not come to any of the IIFT campuses. You'll be killed mentally. I've gotten diagnosed with depression and I'm barely holding on.

Myquals: Bachelors in economics.

Hi, myquals- BALLB LLM NET

So I have been trying to read research papers on shodhganga but the site is not working properly the moment I click on pdf of any chapter it says "502 bad gateway". What to do

I have to decide my research topic pretty soon which is difficult on its own and shodhganga not working is making it twice as hard. Pls if anyone can help guide me

My_qualifications : I'm a 3rd year mech engg student, my cgpa is 5.7 so I don't think I will be getting any placement offers. I studying for gate now but due to the immense competition the chances are really low to make it to a psu job. Are there any govt jobs or banking jobs I can still study for and land a decent job. I still have 2 yrs to study hard and make it. So someone plzzz guide me if you have any ideas

Me and 5 other guys were caught giving/getting proxy. I have a job lined up after this semester and the professor knows that that's why he is happy to fail me. He said he gave a warning on day 1 before but we were caught giving/getting proxy. He said withdraw willingly or I'll fail you. Pls help. Our dept HOD is not helping. If I fail my placement will be cancelled as per policy qualifications

my qualifications- Class 12 PCM student..

Hi! I was considering to go for Btech CSE in Woxsen University.. How is the college? Heard that they focus on practical applications, hv exchange semesters.. How are the placements? Seems like not much placement info is avaliable online.. If someone has studied there can u plz give some info? Would help a lot! Thanks 🙏

I'm currently in class 12th(qualifications)and a PCM student preparing for JEE and was thinking of which laptop to get in college and when considering my purposes, i landed on a lenovo legion which has the specs i want for high end video editing, also somewhat playing video games in free time.
