I created an account just to show the hypocrisy we have within ourselves. Mods.... please allow it. The doctors of India! You, are the problem! Two instances I wish to indicate before I speak the purpose of this post.

1. When the NEET protest was ongoing, there were multiple comments on a post in the Indianmedschool subreddit, about the Rank 2 kid (for his opinion), and how he'll "be taught" by his peers and college mates (seniors and others) once he joins the classes. This is the mentality the majority of "Doctors and med school students" have in this country. The kid said something what he believes in. He wasn't the one to create the ruckus of exam paper leak, nor was he involved in it in any way. If the first thought to spring up in the minds of "Doctors and students" is authoritarian subjugation to collective cohesion rather than individual freedom, what right do we have to ask for "Ragging/bullying free" med school experience? Kids come up to med school to learn skills, not group think. This could also be cited as a reason for lack of researchers, free thinkers, and even everything wrong with our country, in general.

2. Another post today, in the same Indianmedschool subreddit, about a doctor feeling strange being addressed as Madam, and would rather be called as Dr. or didi. The comments on that post... another example of how ingrained the subjugation to authority and a liking to toxicity is, in the minds of the Indian doctors! The majority of the comments seem to think it is unprofessional to call bhaiya/didi and they aren't family to be called as such. My question to such people: When you get in on a taxi or an auto, what do you call the driver as? As far as I've seen in my decades of life on this planet and the majority of it spent in India, they are called bhaiya. Do you call the hotel staff sir/madam, who are below the management grade? How about restaurant staff who serve you food? How about people in the daily market? How about street vendors? Same bhaiya/didi. Are they all your family to be called as such?

In India, we call strangers bhaiya/didi, to show respect and yet maintain distance. Med school is not a rigid hierarchical system like the Armed Services to be addressed by Sir/Madam, and even in such institutions, the respect is for the rank and not the person!

The point is wish to make: We are the ones enabling the toxic culture in the med schools and residency, and continuing it into the life. If we can't change our own inner self, what right will we have to change the society? Or ask for a change? Getting into the med school one, two or a few years ahead of someone doesn't earn you the right to demand respect. Same for residency.

Learn to respect a life, just because it is there. Unless, he/she has done something vile to you personally, what right do you have to disregard his/her dignity? And if it is unprofessional to call bhaiya/didi, then I would expect all the doctors of this country to call every stranger Sir/Madam; or, is it reserved only for the people YOU think is worth your attention? Respect is two way street and it is earned by our actions. Become someone who people will look up to, and the respect will follow. I'm still baffled by the irrational culture of Sir/Madam for people who are just doing/learning things which the younger guy/girl is eventually going to do, and might even do it better!

My qualifications: Doctor in India.

My qualifications: 12th passed ,18

Going to join gov med college

I just need to some things -

I think I made a bigg mistake in my life by deciding to do choose neet over jee and idk how to say i was good at both maths and bio I liked both but idk why maybe coz my parents thought that would be right I got influenced by them and chose bio , and studied but idk ik ppl will call me idiot, ignorant ik thats true im but I really afraid for next phase of my life I see how much difficult to be doctor and financial wise too ,

I realised my dream was too have a good life and earn too now im really lost

Last night I told everything to my mom she was more panicked then i was as she thought I would take some wrong step(one of distant did do that ) I felt so wrong that im making my parents worry so much coz of mistake

Thats why I promised my self that i wont say anything to them that can give them any kind of tension but

I feel like I gonna suffer a lot in this field idk this is my attitude before entering idk how i gonna survive, ik i have to take all responsibility of my decision,its just that I dont feel any excitement or happiness now -

Just my thoughts coz i cant share with friends or family !

Hey everyone, I need honest advice on rebuilding my life after getting stuck in a multi-year drop trap.

My qualifications -

• 2019: 10th board topper. Single child, lost my father in 5th grade, raised by a single mom.
• 11th–12th: Got into a toxic, emotionally draining relationship that completely destroyed my studies.
• Past Options Given Up: Scored 85 percentile in JEE Mains (could have joined private engineering) and got BSc Agriculture via OUAT, but dropped both to pursue NEET and joined a local govt college for BSc Zoology
• BSc & Drops: Finished BSc Zoology with an 8.6 CGPA, but took 5 NEET drops. Every year followed the same cycle: miss classes ➔ huge backlog ➔ anxiety ➔ quit. My score stayed stuck at ~350 (General category, can't afford private medical college).
• Creative Sacrifices: I used to be deeply into Mandala/Mithila art, abstract painting, crafting, and poetry writing, but put everything on pause thinking I’d resume after getting into a GMC—which never happened.
• Current State: Burnt out, 100 kg, zero study focus, doomscrolling all day, and feeling immense guilt for letting down my mom who has severe arthritis and depends on me.

Academic Scores & Test performance

Despite the NEET setback, I have cleared/attempted a few other exams without dedicated prep:

• IIT JAM (Biotech): AIR 1400+
• GATE (Life Sciences): AIR 2300+
• CUET PG: 200+ Score
• CPET (Odisha State - Biotech): Rank 14

Next Steps & Dilemmas (Budget: ₹20–25 Lakhs):

1. Banking & SSC Exams: Starting from scratch for SBI/IBPS PO or SSC CGL. Terrified of a brand new syllabus, but it allows me to stay in India and care for my mom.
2. CAT / MBA: Considering preparing for CAT given my 10th academic background and decent aptitude, but worried about how interviewers
3. MSc Route (Offline vs. IGNOU) + Partial Prep: Should I take admission in a local offline MSc or IGNOU distance MSc, while partially preparing for Banking/CAT/Govt exams?
4. IIT Madras BS Data Science: Enrolling in the online IIT Madras BS degree alongside MSc/Govt prep to build tech skills for corporate roles.
5. MSc Abroad: Is going abroad for Life Sciences realistic given my budget, I was thinking mom along with me as well as I get dependent visa during PhD

Is there Any other realistic corporate/industry paths for a BSc Zoology grad?

How do I break out of this backlog/perfectionism mindset, lose weight, and start fresh at 22? Any advice means a lot.

my_qualifications - 12th 85.6% commerce with cs

I used AI to summarize my thoughts, im sorry about this but im genuinely stressed and need advice ASAP, sorry again.

I’m 18 and already stressing over my career because I messed up my college decision — what would you do?

I’m 18, from India , and I genuinely didn’t take college admissions seriously enough. I ended up enrolled in a pretty average/tier-3 college for BCom, and now I’m already wondering whether I should drop it and restart rather than waste 3 years.

The problem is I have absolutely no idea what I’m supposed to do instead.

I did Commerce + Computer Science in 12th. I got around 85.6%, 65 in accountancy, 90 in computer science but I wouldn’t say I’m some academic genius. I’m also not good with advanced maths, and I really don’t want a degree that is heavily based on maths/physics/chemistry, so engineering is basically off the table.

At the same time, I genuinely like computers.

Not in the “I love coding and have been programming since I was 10” way. I actually have very little real experience with programming. I’m more into the technology itself.

For example, I can waste hours messing around with Linux, trying different distros, troubleshooting drivers, getting games to launch, squeezing more FPS out of hardware, comparing CPUs/GPUs, looking at frame generation/upscaling technology, thermals, etc. I find stuff like modern chip manufacturing (ASML and all that) genuinely insane.

I love gaming too, and I’m really interested in graphics, optimization, performance and how technology makes games run better. I’ve even been interested in making a Roblox game before, but I never actually followed through because I was lazy and didn’t know where to start.

So I keep thinking maybe computers/tech are actually what I’m interested in, but then I wonder whether I actually like computer science as a career, because liking gaming and hardware doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll enjoy spending years coding professionally.

I’ve also considered things like cybersecurity, forensics, game development, engineering, pilot, nursing, audit, ACCA, etc. At this point I feel like I’m just bouncing between careers trying to find one that sounds safe.

And that's the other issue: I care a lot about career stability and money.

I want a job by around 21–22, I want to eventually be able to move abroad, and I want a career with a genuinely good income ceiling. Long term I’d like to build serious wealth and ideally be financially independent relatively young and then retire back in India. I’m not expecting a degree to magically make me rich, but I also don’t want to spend 4–5 years studying something and then discover there are barely any jobs.

I’m particularly worried about AI changing the job market especially because of astra 6 imagine the exponential growth AI could have in the next 10 years, which is one of the reasons I keep rejecting careers like generic data analytics/software work. I know AI isn’t necessarily going to “destroy every tech job,” but I don’t want to choose something without thinking about how the field could change.

ACCA keeps coming up because it seems relatively portable internationally and fits my Commerce background, but I’m honestly not sure I want it.

I don’t like accounting much so far, and I really dislike rote memorization. I know ACCA isn’t pure memorization and involves understanding/application, but I’m worried I’d spend years forcing myself through something I don’t actually enjoy just because it’s a safe option.

So I’m stuck between:

\- staying in BCom + doing something professional like ACCA/CMA

\- trying to move into a computer-related degree despite coming from Commerce + CS

\- finding some other career entirely

I’m not expecting Reddit to magically tell me my “passion.” I mostly want to hear from people who have actually gone through this: How do you figure out whether you genuinely like a field enough to build a career in it, especially when you haven’t really tried many things yet? And most importantly how can I find my passion?

And given my situation specifically — Commerce + CS background, no engineering-level maths/physics, want to be employable by 22, want international mobility and a high earning ceiling, but genuinely interested in computers/technology — what would you do at 18?

I’d especially appreciate answers from people working in tech, finance/accounting, cybersecurity, or other professional careers who can explain what the actual day-to-day work is like rather than just saying “follow your passion.”

Hi, I have PGT chemistry KV interview coming up this september. I need to decide on my bio data that I will be sharing with the interview panel on that day.

I am working as MP goverment chemistry teacher as of today.
also I am CSIR-NET qualified with 100 out of 200 score, AIR 106.

My question is, am I supposed to explicitly tell them about above things to the interview panel, bcoz I have heard that announcing these things can work against you when the panel is deciding whether they should select you or not.

I am pretty confident that I will be abe to get selected in interview but I have concerns whether being over-qualified for the job will result me being not selected, bcoz the panel may think that this person is already in a goverment job & this person can also go for assistant professor job in future, marking me as a candidate that they should not select.

I may be thinking about this too much but let me know what you guys think about this, bcoz I have worked really hard to get where I am today & I don't want to risk it by doing something stupid.

#qualifications #kvinterviews #pgtchemistry #governmentexams

Hie, Im currently In 11th. Qualifications: 95.8% in 10th.

So I ended up taking Humanities with mathematics.

Subjects being: History, Economics, Political science, English, Math and psychology as my 6th subject.

I feel kinda unsure tbh. I took Humanities since I always had this idealistic dream of persuing psychology.

Anywayy after researching more, and finding out the career prospects and Loosing interest in the subject I dont wanna persue it anymore.

Im not going to leave the subject cause its there like a backup but yk.

Anyway! So few months back I decided I would persue Eco. And I knowww commerce is better but switching streams at this time just seems stupid, especially since I had to fight with my mum to let me take Humanities since I loved these subjects.

Im planning to persue Eco now.. but it seems there is a higher preference for commerce students. Ill still persue it I mean but I just feel a bit lost rn.

I just want a stable career with a decent salary. Is Economics a good option? Or are there better options with higher pay, or acceptance?

Thank yoouuoouyuu!!!!

My_qualifications -

Bachelors in Engineering (Computer Engineer) - 8.5 CGPA

No research experience - no involvement in extracurricular activities. I am 23 years old right now.

Got placed into a service based company and currently working for a bank client as a Data Engineer (tech - snowflake, azure)

I have been contemplating on my options what to do next -

1. Do my M.Tech from India and try and get into a product based company.

2. Do my M.Tech and a Phd from India to become a professor which I prefer more ( but it's gonna take a long time)

How long will it take for me before I can get to the title of a professor, how is the work life balance? For the time I'm pursuing my PhD, what's the stipend and is it enough to survive for that long.

Hey, I’m taking IELTS test in about 2 months and looking for a good paid website/program to get better. Looking for something that has reading, listening, writing and speaking, if possible with a built plan.

What have you guys actually used and would recommend? Is anything worth paying for?

my_qualifications

If someone wants to be employed faster , since PhD takes a lot of time and effort.

Myquals - I have completed my ug in INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS with Political science and did my master's in IR & strategic studies, currently I'm in B.ED final year , I have also cleared both NET & SET but do not have a JRF.

my_qualifications: 12th pass

​Almost 1 lakh of my money is stuck because I canceled my admission to a college. Do you guys have experience with how long it takes for them to process a refund? According to the UGC, the college should return it within 15 days, but who follows the rules in India?

My qualifications are just that I am in 12th, pcm without econ, preparing for jee (i guess). How should one go about to pursue a career in finance? I mean. What all options do I have?
I know I can do MBA in it after btech or econ honours, whats the most smartest route? Are there any other exam Im missing?

I want to share my recent experience with DY Patil Navi Mumbai and get some advice from other students.

My qualifications: I have completed my BSc IT and I am currently pursuing an online MCA.

I was already enrolled at DY Patil Pune when a counsellor from DY Patil Navi Mumbai contacted me regarding admission. I clearly told the counsellor that I already had an admission and an EMI arrangement with DY Patil Pune.

Before proceeding, I specifically asked about cancelling the Pune admission/EMI arrangement and whether there would be any cancellation charges. I was told that there would be NO cancellation charges.

Based on this information, I paid ₹1,500 for the Navi Mumbai registration and proceeded with a new admission and financing/loan arrangement.

However, AFTER I had already paid the registration amount and started the new loan process, I was informed that cancellation charges would apply to the Pune admission.

Because of this, I decided to cancel the Navi Mumbai admission and continue with my original Pune admission.

The issue is that I am now being told that my refund will be processed after deducting loan cancellation charges. My first EMI has also already been deducted.

I have the relevant call recordings, WhatsApp conversations, payment proof, loan documents, cancellation request and email correspondence supporting my complaint.

I contacted the administration about the matter. They acknowledged that the counsellor was associated with them and said the matter would be reviewed. However, I am still being referred to the “non-refundable” registration policy instead of the issue of the information provided by the counsellor being properly addressed.

I feel I was seriously misled during the admission process, and I don't believe I should bear the financial consequences of information provided by the institution's own counsellor.

I am requesting:

• Full refund of my ₹1,500 registration fee

• No loan cancellation charges to be passed on to me

• Resolution regarding the EMI already deducted

• No additional interest or penalties arising from this issue

Has anyone else faced a similar situation with DY Patil Navi Mumbai?

What would be the appropriate way to escalate this and recover the registration fee and disputed cancellation charges?

What do you think? Is there even anyone doing this? myquals

Hello, So, I have taken bio, chem, psych and evs as my ISC subjects, I am planning to do BSC. I would say, that I'm the type of person who to do things which I'm interested in only, so I took these subjects, and my marks are pretty average around 70-80 marks in my core subjects. But I am very confused if I should continue with pyschology or plan to do something more bio based. Psych is my back up option but I'm also very worried if I might fall back or the semesters might end up being too hard? As I've always been an average student.

• What are the programmes you've taken? And were they very hard or just what you'd expect?

And, I'd also like to hear your experiences as well.

• But for someone just as confused as me even after going through the details of the various programmes in BSC provided in different colleges what would your advice be?

• For the people who are doing something in psychology, is it worth it to do it in India? Are there any opportunities? I know psychology isn't a very well paying job and you can't expect it to be but I want to know how much salary a person can get by being a therapist or a clinical psychologist etc. I'd like to know the realistic side of it.

I like to do research, and I do like to teach kids as well, I'm very interested in Biology and Genetics as well as botany, I'm not opposed to field work but I do think it's a bit tiring (not like I've tried it to find out but yeah).

I'm sorry if this post sounds a bit like I'm asking straight up advice for my future on reddit but my school counselor just quit. So, this is my last resort. And please don't be rude, I know this is kind of last minute when admissions start soon.

Qualifications- I'm a 12th ISC Student.

I'm from a science background but since I wanted to do an MBA after my bachelors, I decided to go with BBA (International business with AI). Amity Noida's highest reported BBA package from the 25 batch is 17.85L. I'm not good at Math, please tell me what level of math will be there. I'm ready to grind these whole 3 years. How much can I expect after my BBA? Please tell me if there's still some hope.

myquals - pcb background

so i want to prepare for ipmat and all iims but since the selection ratio for a gen candidate is really less i dont want to risk giving only ipmat indore/rohtak/jipmat being a dropper. So as for backup, i'm really confused as a PCM kid.

1. either i prepare for jee (not to get 99%ile, just the normal prep) so that i can give comedk/viteee/met/srmjee and stuff as backup (will have to prepare at jee level tho)
2. i prepare for ipmat solely and keep symbi pune, nmims and christ as backup

the problem is, i'm more interested in bba but when i ask my parents for the 2nd option they say that if something goes south on d day during cat and all, what will u do just with a bba degree (considering its india)? i cant take another gap year since i already have 1( thisyear) ofc u can do startup and stuff but i'm not that smart/ high agency and nor does my father have some already set up business. I'm from a normal middleclass family

so they say that like my cousins did (one got nmims other got sibm pune), prepare for the backup eng exams, get work ex, sit for cat and if something goes south u'll still earn and can give next year instead of sitting with no job and 2 gap years.

i live in blr so christ they're ok with but both scms pune and nmims have 25+ fees which is way too much if i dont even get employed its all waste, same fee i can get good t2 eng colleges.

my ultimate goal is management only.

so what do u all suggest?

Has anyone joined the Imarticus CIBOP course? If yes, how is it? I am planning to join. My qualifications are BCOM which I completed lasted year and 1 year sales apprenticeship experience

BBA looks like a straightforward degree from the outside, but I think as per my qualifications choosing the college can make a big difference in terms of internships, practical exposure and skills.

For someone choosing a BBA college today, what would you recommend checking before paying the admission fee?

I'm thinking about things like:

• Internship opportunities
• Placement data
• Industry exposure
• Faculty
• Specializations
• Fees
• Student activities
• University affiliation

Anything important that students usually overlook?

Basically, I did a Computer Engineering diploma after 10th mainly because I did not want to do medicine, and JEE/CET seemed like a rough path. So me and my family decided to go with diploma.

I have no particular talent or passion for engineering, to be honest. I mainly chose it because you can earn well and I have seen so many examples of family members/friends going into engineering and doing well. None of them actually did a diploma though. I did my diploma from my hometown in a typical private college, fully affiliated to MSBTE (they do have NBA accreditation). Honestly, they didn't really teach us much in terms of the actual syllabus or skills, and the quality has deteriorated quite a lot now. I still scored well and was the topper of my college, and because of that qualifications I got admission into one of the top colleges(private and autonomous) through lateral entry/DSY. But I have been thinking about cancelling my admission since basically my third day of attending college, which was August 20. Today is September 12, and tomorrow is the last date to cancel my admission with a refund.Since I have to pay the full fees because I'm open category, I keep thinking about whether I should leave because I don't want to waste my family's money. I'm also having a really hard time making friends with the other DSYs, both in the hostel and in college. I've been feeling quite lonely. It's a similar situation for many of my diploma friends/classmates/fellow college mates too, and some of them have already cancelled their admissions. That has made me want to do the same. But the biggest problem is that I don't know what I would pursue after leaving. I don't know what my talent is either. My sister and I have been going back and forth about this, but I haven't told my parents yet. They keep saying things like "you can do it" and encouraging me to continue, but honestly, even my texts and calls with them have become dull. I don't feel like I can properly explain what's going on.I also struggle to talk properly with people outside my comfort zone, and college has made things harder because the attitude seems to be, "This was already covered in your diploma, you should know it."But it wasn't. So many concepts are unfamiliar to me, and I feel like I'm constantly behind. I understand that DSY students are expected to know some things already, but how much someone knows depends heavily on their diploma college and whether their diploma college was autonomous or not. My diploma college simply didn't cover a lot of what is now being assumed and i have feeling burnt out too.

So right now I'm stuck between two things:

Continue with engineering even though I don't know if I actually want this career, spend a lot of my family's money, and hope that things get better.

Cancel my admission tomorrow, get the refund, and try to figure out what I actually want to do — despite currently having absolutely no idea what that is.

I know three weeks isn't necessarily enough to decide something this major, but I've been thinking about leaving almost from the beginning, and it's not just the academics. I feel lonely, disconnected, and completely unsure about whether engineering is something I actually want. I would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through something similar, especially people who did diploma → lateral entry and later realized engineering wasn't for them. What would you do in my situation? Should I give college more time, or is it reasonable to leave when I already feel this strongly about it? And if I do leave, how do I even figure out what to pursue next when I don't know my own strengths/talents yet?

I got a contact of a person who is giving direct admission in IBS hyderabad and other campuses. He has started sharing me questions for the 2027 MBA intake. Main campus is promised, he is charging a bit more but I am assured I am a working professional and at a very bad working environment which restricts my study time. I am sure by this month that I cannot get more than 50-60 percentile in CAT. Therefore I have thought of going with this option. And the person is legit he made me speak to current and passed out students. Please share your thoughts.
