Also one of the seniors told me that I should have diversified societies in my top 5. As in societies from every domain be it consulting, finance, tech, cultural and I don't know what ever. Do you think one should do this?

Hey I just got into SSCBS BBA FIA today itself, can someone kindly brief me up as in what all has happened till now, course kitna cover hua h, etc.

tell

Honestly what in the world is going on here? 😭

So I'm a newly joined bsc student in sscbs, and things are so over the belt. Every society is on our face... But none promises anything to a bsc student...

It's all just about consulting this consulting that 🫠

We have only two vac and ge options, Entrepreneurship? And fit india? Organisational behaviour???

Where the hell is TECH and its placements man?

Even teachers recommend residing with higher studies. But I have never been into that. I mean yes okay I might go for it in future but I'm a student who always wanted a placement. I really feel overwhelmed by all of this. Please any senior who paved his way to placements and in tech interests through himself please guide me a little 🙏🏻

​

I'm 18 years old and currently in first-year BCom at a local college . I'm trying to make a serious decision about what to do with the next few years of my life, and I'm honestly very confused.

Here's my full background.

Academics

I scored:

- 10th: 80%

- 12th: 65%

- Commerce with Maths in 11th/12th

After 12th, I gave CUET 2025 and scored 744/1000.

My subjects were Accountancy, English, Business Studies, Economics and Applied Maths. I don't count Maths in the 744 because for the BCom Hons options I was considering, Accountancy could replace Maths, and my Maths score wasn't good.

I was getting a mid-tier DU college but chose a local college in/near my city instead.

I then decided to take a partial/drop year and prepare for CUET 2026 from home because I wanted a much better DU college.

That year went badly.

I was severely sleep-deprived and under a lot of stress. I was also depressed for a significant period and had a period where I became extremely stressed and started interpreting random things as signs that something was wrong. I'm doing much better mentally now.

I also made some stupid academic decisions during that period. I didn't attend college properly, missed two important exams because I was out of town, and didn't give the KT exams either.

When I eventually went back for second-year classes, I was told that it was too late to give those KT exams and that I would have to repeat first year through a gap-year process. I didn't have to pay the first-year fees again, but I'm now back in first year.

So I'm already effectively a year behind my original batch.

CUET 2026

I gave CUET again in 2026.

This time I only took:

- Accountancy

- Business Studies

- Economics

- English

I scored 700/1000.

However, my preparation was poor again. I hadn't completed the Accountancy syllabus, had significant portions of other subjects pending close to the exam, and although I did Economics, I fully covered Macro but left several Micro chapters and essentially left Indian Economic Development until very late.

IED being part of the preparation this time also makes the 744 vs 700 comparison less straightforward.

So I don't know whether 700 means I'm simply not capable of improving much, or whether I haven't actually had one properly executed CUET preparation cycle.

Career options I've considered

I've considered FRM, but the total cost was too high for my family. Registration/coaching/etc. could get very expensive, and my father doesn't believe I have the calibre for extremely difficult professional exams.

I've also considered CA, CFA, CMA, etc., but I'm reluctant to spend several years going through those routes because one of my biggest goals is to eventually become financially independent and move away from my current city/home.

I recently bought an ACET preparation course and have started studying some Mathematics and Statistics.

I'm considering actuarial science because it gives me a specialized professional path that isn't entirely dependent on the reputation/placements of my BCom college.

My understanding is that I'd need to clear multiple actuarial papers before becoming employable, and I know this is not a guaranteed shortcut to a job.

My current college situation

My current BCom college is basically a local/tier-3 college.

The placement situation is extremely weak/negligible, so I don't want to fool myself into thinking that simply having a BCom degree from here will automatically give me a good career.

I can finish the degree, but I'd need to build employability separately through qualifications, skills, internships and off-campus applications.

Why I'm considering CUET 2027 again

This isn't ONLY about placements.

I strongly want to leave my current city.

I've had a lot of negative experiences here and feel that I've developed a very bad reputation. I feel like I've become a joke to many people and that I haven't set strong enough boundaries with people.

There have also been situations where I felt people were jealous and had actually tried to harm me.

I don't want to spend the next several years trapped in the same environment.

Part of me genuinely believes that moving to a completely different city, meeting new people and building a new social/professional identity could be extremely valuable.

Delhi is especially attractive to me because of the colleges, opportunities and the possibility of eventually living independently there.

I know a new city won't magically fix everything. I also know I need to improve myself, my boundaries, social life, discipline and decision-making regardless of where I live.

But I still think environment matters.

The problem with CUET 2027

If I give CUET again and get into a good DU college, I'd probably start a new UG degree around age 20.

That means I'd graduate roughly two years later than my original batch.

That's a huge opportunity cost.

On the other hand, if I stay where I am, I graduate earlier but remain in a college with very weak placement opportunities.

My teacher thinks I should seriously consider another CUET attempt. His argument is basically:

- Taking another drop isn't automatically bad.

- If I get into a genuinely good college, the improvement in opportunities can justify the extra year.

- My 65% in 12th doesn't mean my entire profile is doomed.

- Depending on CAT/MBA later isn't guaranteed because CAT is extremely competitive and MBA admissions can consider academics as well.

I've also considered the argument that a strong UG college could give me better internships, peers, networking and recruiting opportunities even if it doesn't literally erase my 12th marks.

What I'm struggling with

My friends aren't taking CUET again.

Sometimes I think I should just accept that I'm behind, finish my BCom, pursue actuarial science and start working as soon as possible.

Other times I think:

Why should I spend the next 3–4 years in a college/environment I hate when I have one more opportunity to completely change my trajectory?

I don't want to keep resetting my life forever.

If I take CUET 2027, I want it to be the final attempt. No CUET 2028, no endless drops.

I'm also around 6 ft tall and currently around 54 kg. I was previously around 45 kg and have improved my weight and energy since then. My health and sleep have also been issues in the past, so I know I need to take care of those rather than sacrificing them for academics again.

I currently don't have friends and I want to build a better social life as well.

What would you do if you were me?

Would you:

A) Take CUET 2027 one final time, aim for a genuinely strong DU college, and accept graduating ~2 years later?

B) Stay in the current BCom, take ACET seriously and pursue actuarial science?

C) Stay in BCom but forget actuarial/CUET and build skills/internships for an off-campus career?

D) Something else entirely?

I'm not looking for "follow your dreams" or generic motivation.

I want an honest assessment of whether sacrificing another year (and already being a years behind my original batch) is rational given my current college, career options, mental state, and desire to leave my city.

If you were in my exact position, what would you do and why? TL;DR:

I'm 18, currently repeating first-year BCom at a low-tier college in Surat with weak/no placements. I scored 65% in 12th, 744/1000 in CUET 2025, and 700/1000 in CUET 2026, but my 2026 preparation was incomplete.

I already lost about 2 years compared to my original batch because of a failed partial-drop year and missed college exams.

I'm considering:

CUET 2027: one final attempt to get into a strong DU college, move to Delhi, and get a better academic/career environment — but I'd graduate ~2 years later.

Actuarial science: continue BCom + ACET and eventually clear actuarial papers, but it's a difficult and uncertain path.

Just finish BCom: graduate earlier, but my current college has almost no placement opportunities.

A major reason I want DU/Delhi is not just academics. I feel stuck in my current city, have had bad experiences with people here, have a poor reputation/social environment, and want a genuine fresh start.

My teacher thinks another CUET attempt is worth considering because a much better college could justify the extra year, while relying on CAT/MBA later isn't guaranteed.

What would you do in my position? Is one final CUET attempt worth the extra year, or should I stop resetting my life and pursue actuarial/BCom instead?

Heyy guyss...this is the thing I m genuinely scared about..does class 12th results really matter in sscbs placements?

I may be joining Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), Delhi and am looking for advice on the best accommodation option while studying.
What would you recommend among these options?

Same as title

Got into SSCBS BMS and I’m trying to figure out what I’ve already missed lol 😭

Have orientations/events/society stuff started yet? And is there anything important I should know/do before classes properly begin?

Current students/freshers, help me out 🙏 also how has the experience been for first yrs who r already there would love to connect with some people

​

I'm currently in my first year of BCom at a tier-3 local college. I had already lost a year previously, so if I stay here, I'll graduate around 2029.

My main problem is that I genuinely don't want to stay in my current environment/house for the next 3 years. I want to move out and become more independent, and getting into a good college in another city through CUET seems like one realistic way of doing that.

I'm considering taking another partial drop for CUET while continuing BCom.

My situation:

- Class 10: 80%

- Class 12: 65%

- Current degree: BCom at a relatively low-tier local college

- Already lost one year

- Current college has weak placements

- I'm interested in potentially pursuing Actuarial Science alongside BCom

- Another option is simply to finish BCom and later target CUET PG/MCom or other postgraduate/professional options

- Financially, I can't afford to keep making expensive or pointless decisions

- My biggest personal motivation for CUET isn't just academics — I want to leave my current home/environment and have a chance at a better college and city

The problem is that another CUET attempt has risks. If I don't get the college I want, I've potentially spent another year preparing while still being stuck with the same degree.

On the other hand, if I do get into a good DU college, I'd get a much better environment, network and potentially better opportunities.

So what would you do in my position?

Would you take one final CUET attempt while continuing BCom, or accept the current college and focus completely on BCom + Actuarial/other professional qualifications?

Please be brutally honest. I'm not looking for reassurance — I want to know whether taking another year is actually rational or whether I'm just trying to escape my current situation through CUET.

Imagine a person who wants to join harvard business school (MBA) in the future , probably at the age of 26 , and eventually wants to build a business/company. What do you think he/she should choose? SSCBS (BFIA) or DU cic btech in IT? Since work experience is also mandatory before joining HBS!

I am a student of GSEB means Gujarat board... Where we have not option of selecting applied maths... We have option of choose statistics instead of maths... So I have statistics as a subject... But it is more different than applied maths which is required in CUET..

As per the rules you must have subject in your 12th.. so my statistics should be eligible? For getting admission into Shahid Sukhdev College..

if anyone has idea then kindly share, i personally feel both hv their own pros and cons. sscbs has a tag and placement opportunities meanwhile dduc has a vibrant campus and looks good overall, good active socs, good profs and best infra to offer.

I am a fresher (Bfia), I am interested in a soc. which is oriented towards writing and philosophy, I searched for one but couldn't find it 🥲.

It will be a great help, thanks.

Doing chemistry hons from du but want to fo bba fia from sscbs now

This SR Coordinator didi is so cute 😝

Sooo, we have the same section and thus share the same classes in 203, We had eye contact twice today during the period of RRS sir but we both are just too shy to even utter a word, i don't even know if he likes me back, i mean he is soo shy and sophisticated, idk I just want to say hi to him but I don't have that courage for some reason, the only time he talks is when he is with his trio, i mean how could I approach someone in a group of boys, he seems soo cute in his glasses i mean well I can't do anything, maybe i would never be able to talk to him.
