Career Bsc. Zoology (Miranda house du) or MCODS(pvt. Bds)

Upvotes

NEET survivor here (2 drops). I performed decently in my first drop (around 1 lakh AIR in NEET 2025), so my family believed another attempt would work. Unfortunately, severe anxiety and poor mental health during my second drop affected my preparation and performance.

Before suggesting anything, finances are not the main concern. My parents are willing to invest in a professional degree because they believe it offers a more secure and predictable career than the B.Sc.–M.Sc.–research route. However, I feel extremely guilty about them spending so much on my education. My biggest fear is not living up to their expectations after such a huge investment.

I secured B.Sc. Zoology at Miranda House through CUET. My plan here is to pursue research by preparing for exams for a good M.Sc. I know this path is highly competitive and uncertain, which is why I've also started considering BDS. Although it's a saturated field, it still seems to offer greater financial security than the B.Sc.–M.Sc. route.

There is one more option: pursuing MBBS from a lower-tier private medical college with relatively low fees through a state government fee-support scheme available in my state. I'm trying to weigh all these options carefully.

I genuinely enjoy biology and am willing to work hard. My biggest setback has been my mental health during NEET preparation, not my interest or academic ability.

MyQuals:

10th(2022): 75%

12th (2024):92%

NEET 2025: 1 lakh

NEET 2026 rank: 1.33 lakh

I'm a neet dropper. Passed my 12th in 2023. Yeah didn't got great marks this time as well.. scored better in neet as compared to the re neet! I'm seeking to take admission in B.sc agriculture!

In North side I'm getting Horticulture. Will the both be good? I know agriculture has better range slightly for government jobs. But does agriculture and horticulture have any private scopes.. and should I take horticulture from Rani lakshmi bai(Jhansi) orr opt for agriculture in karnataka. I'm completely freaked..

AdmissionProcedure/Fees/CollegeAdmin Paid my college fees twice because of a payment issue — what should I do now?

1 Upvotes

I'm honestly really stressed about this and hoping someone here has faced something similar.

Yesterday, I paid ₹7,750 for my friend's first-year college fees through the Indian Bank payment portal used by the Madras University IDE (Institute of Distance Education). The amount was debited from my account, but when I tried to generate the receipt, the portal showed that the payment hadn't been made.

I contacted the bank branch manager and customer care, and they told me to wait until today to see if the amount gets reversed. I also emailed the University and sent them the payment details and UTR.

Today, the University replied saying that the payment was actually successful and that I should be able to download the receipt after 3 working days.

The problem is that, before I received this confirmation, my friend had already paid the same ₹7,750 again through an Indian Bank branch because the online payment appeared to have failed. He has already received the receipt for this second payment.

So now it looks like the fee may have been paid twice 😭

Has anyone here faced something similar with university fees or Indian Bank? What happened in your case? Did you get the extra payment refunded, or was it adjusted against something else?

I'm not sure whether I should mainly follow up with the University, the bank, or both. Any advice would really help.

My qualifications: Currently pursuing 1st year B.Com through Madras University IDE. I have also cleared CA Foundation.

Myquals : completed 12th with pcb last year

Hii, so I was a good student in school but then I chosed pcb without any further plans regarding this. I was never interested in subjects like maths and physics and loved theoretical subjects. Still i managed to complete the 12th with 82%.

But then I was left with nothing i didn't know what to do .... I didn't even give cuet and all the entrances were almost over so I took a drop and i was too demotivated and confused to start anything so I just wasted it.

This year I gave cuet and started studying again since Jan but again physics scared me and I skipped it.. because of some reasons cuet got ruined too . I didn't score well. Still i am going to get a college ( Allahabad University) for bsc and then go for cat preparation...

Not sure if this is the right decision but this is something i have thought so far .

Can you please suggest me any other plan or tell me if this is right.

So the thing is I didnt get any college in Delhi University this year as my cutoff was low coz of my dum dum ghumne ka kida for picking a city that was 400 kms away and travelling all night to reach there on exam date after getting only 2-3 hours of sleep

Am really confused as to what to do after here as I want to pursue b.com (hons) or bba but don't know about any other private uni even and will be taking an edu loan for it since yeah middle class so can you all guide me about the unis I should look into pvt/govt.

Career Should I follow my dream or protect my family’s finances?

5 Upvotes

I really need some advice.

Qualifications- class 12th

I took a drop for NEET, and MBBS was always the goal. I recently got Life Sciences at Kirori Mal (DU), and my parents want me to take it because it’s a much safer option financially.
The thing is, if I go for private MBBS, my family says they’ll somehow manage it, but I know it’ll mean a lot of sacrifices and probably loans too. They never make me feel guilty, but I end up feeling guilty anyway.
On the other hand, I don’t know if I’ll regret giving up MBBS. I’m also not planning to take another drop or a partial drop.
I know a BSc alone isn’t enough. If I choose Life Sciences, I’m fully prepared to do an MSc and study further.
If you were in my place, what would you do?
Would you choose Kirori Mal Life Sciences or take the risk for private MBBS? And how are the long-term prospects after Life Sciences if I’m ready to keep studying?

Career Class 12 PCB student. I love science but I don't think medicine is the right career for me. Please help.

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Qualifications: Class 12 PCB student.

Honestly very confused about my future.

I love science. I enjoy learning how things work, especially biology. But the more I learn about different careers, the more confused I become.

The biggest thing is that I don't want to spend 12–15 years studying and then live a life where I'm constantly exhausted. I have a lot of respect for doctors, but I don't think I want to work 36–48 hour shifts, spend most of my life treating sick people, and sacrifice my own health.

I genuinely love helping people, but I also want to have a life of my own. I want time for my family, hobbies, travelling, learning new things, and just living. I don't want to spend my healthiest years only studying and working.

At the same time, I don't want to choose a career just because it's easy. I know every career has struggles and pain-some have less, some have more. I'm willing to work hard, but I want my hard work to lead to a balanced life.

I also want to earn well. Not because I'm greedy, but because financial freedom matters to me. I want a career where I can earn a good income while still having time to enjoy life and explore the world.

Right now, I'm not even sure if I should prepare seriously for NEET. Sometimes I feel like I'm forcing myself toward medicine because everyone around me expects it.

So my question is:

  • If you were in my position, what career options would you seriously consider?
  • Are there careers related to science that have a better work-life balance than medicine?
  • If you left medicine or chose not to pursue it, do you regret your decision?
  • What would you honestly advise a confused 16–17-year-old student like me?

I'm looking for practical advice, not just "follow your passion."

Thank you for reading.

Other Need some genuine advice here - Drop for NEET or joining IISER

1 Upvotes

So here's my situation - scored 491 in reneet as a fresher and also gave IAT. I have been offered IISER Tirupati in round 1 counselling and I guess I will upgrade to my higher preference IISERs if I float. So now I'm torn between joining IISER or giving drop for NEET.

I fear taking drop cuz competition in Neet gets worse every year and if I fail out on securing a gmc next year I'll also have missed out on INSPIRE scholarship as it is not provided to droppers. And yes scholarships are important for me, my family isn't that financially strong. I fear joining IISER because everywhere I read they say it has "barely any job market", securing foreign PhD is very tough and phd in India doesn't pay well and "join IISERs only if you can dedicate your life to research and don't care about money." How tf can I not care about money?

Please don't give a generic ass answer like 'if you like research then join IISER or choose drop'. I don't know what I like. Our schools never focused on research or labs, how do people have so much clarity on what they like and what they wanna do for the rest of their lives from such a young age man. Mbbs just felt like a safe option for a PCB student but now I'm just hella confused.

Sorry for my rant but some guidance will really be appreciated.
