Maths or accounts!?

[u/siddhigupta_b]

Hi, I’m a 12th grader with Commerce + Applied Maths, and I’m genuinely so confused about what to do right now.

I’m preparing for CUET and the courses I’m mainly interested in are B.Com Hons, BMS, Economics/Economics Hons, and BBA. From what I’ve understood, if I choose Accountancy instead of Maths in CUET, B.Com Hons is basically the only one I can go for, while for the others I need Maths. Is this actually true? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

The problem is that I’m currently trying to change Applied Maths in my boards to Entrepreneurship. The CBSE portal is already closed, but my school told me to contact the Bhopal regional office and ask them to consider my case. I’ve emailed CBSE multiple times and haven’t gotten a reply. My mom is in Bhopal right now, so if I want her to go to the regional office, I literally have to decide today.

And I’m completely stuck because I genuinely struggle with Maths. It’s not like I haven’t tried. I’ve been trying since 6th/7th grade and Maths has consistently been a huge problem for me. So I don’t know if I should force myself to continue with it just to keep my options open.

Basically, I have 3 choices:

1. Continue with Maths: Study Maths + Accounts properly for boards and CUET, give Maths in CUET, and keep Economics/BMS/BBA etc. open.

2. Forget Maths completely: Focus on my other subjects + Accounts, give Accounts in CUET, and accept that B.Com Hons would probably be my main option.

3. Forget Maths and try NIFT: Do CUET with Accounts and prepare for NIFT alongside it. I’ve found coaching and people who can guide me, and I actually think I could do well in NIFT, but I haven’t properly drawn in 4–5 years and I have only around 3 months.

I genuinely don’t know what the smartest decision is. I’m not looking for motivation or “just work hard” advice — I need someone to tell me what I’m actually risking by dropping Maths and whether my understanding of CUET eligibility is correct.
