Got 54% in Boards. Switching to Arts/Commerce but want a career in CS. Is it possible?
I just got my board results and it’s around 55%. I had a rough year due to my mental health, which is why I tanked.
Now my family is pushing me toward Arts. I’m fine with that because the science syllabus is huge and only math matters for CS anyway, but I’m worried about my future. My goal is to get into Computer Scienc.
I am planning to Take Arts but keep Mathematics as an elective. Focus on my coding skills on the side. Aim for a BCA or B.Sc CS degree later. So can I get into a decent BCA program with an Arts + Math background? Will colleges or IT companies reject me later just because I didn't take the Science stream in 12th? Is it better to take the "easier" stream to get a better percentage, or is Science mandatory for a tech career in India?
I’m basically trying to figure out if I’m "cooked" or if this is a valid path. Any advice helps.
