r/ICSE

Recently gave my 10th board exams and I'm now overwhelmed by all the choices there are. What I wanted to do is not considered good and of much profession but I dont want to spend 2 years studying for an entrance exam and then getting admitted in a sub-par college based on my marks. First I had medical on my mind, then Engineering, then I was thinking maybe something like a UI/UX Designer or a Graphic Designer. Attended seminars for all, got advice from many people and each person's advice made me feel that "yes, this is what I want to do". Currently I'm completely lost,overwhelmed,upset and feel always out of mood. Taking advice from others is not helping me at all. Plus its a rush to get into an integrated institution as the batch gets full. Why is it such a rush to do all this. I always wanted to do what I liked but if I do I do not think ill be able to make a proper career in it. I do not know what to do guys. Please help.

Title - The Black ! Party

Very short description - 1937, The year of first elections of Czonka, the people all confused. Dieter Kaspar among this crowd, cast his vote which changes his whole life and the whole world. If there is no one to experience the peace then what is its value ??

Lemme know if you wanna read it !

I was cleaning my room and I found my uniform under a bunch of other stuff and I'm so sad now cause I'm staying in my school for 11th and 12th but our uniform will change. To think that I wore this uniform for the past 10 years and I'll never be in a situation that requires me to wear this ever again. Not to mention I will still see all my juniors wearing it, except i won't be, just feels so weird to think about. A friend of mine switched schools for 11th and 12th and she came home crying on her first day cause she said it was the worst day of her life, I'm glad I won't have to deal with that, but all I wanted was to leave, and now that I can't, it feels so weirdly trapping. All I wanted was to leave, and I'm staying. All my friend wanted was to stay, but she's leaving. This is so weird.

How many of y'all are going abroad for studies??

So I have been seeing students in my class just making notes of what's going on in class. They have been doing this I guess for like a very long time. I usually don't really make notes because I always find myself studying from the textbook itself. Even if I take notes it's usually related to the exams or something which is not given in the books. So should I make notes? because personally I find it time consuming!

why am I even asking this here 💔 or what subReddit can I go on

India's education system is quite unique, isn't it? pehele padhai ke naam per bache ko loot ke gareeb hi kr do aur phir bolo job karke paise kamai 🙏🙂 usme bhi unemployment ka high rate muh pe phek ke marte hai.

Her sal school me admission charge kyu lete hai when we are studying in the same hell?

ICSE project banwaya? kahe ka project? paper me likhna (chapna) kon sa skill hai!?!?

i am myself a commerce student and passed 12th recently..... and when i search about career option in commerce field.... i am rather disappointed and regretfull taking this stream..

i am not telling you to not take commerce everyone has different situation and preference.... i my case i was good in academics but still choose commerce over pcm cause didnt wanna go in rat race.. but now all i have is confusion regarding career and regret....

just a piece of advice for juniors...

if you want to take commerce... you must know what you will do in future (career wise)..

NO brainer that commerce field limit your options.. so you must fully reseach about career path you will choose because......

the only way to make a lucrative career in commerce field in india is either do CA/CS or MBA from tier 1 or 1.5 college only and TRUST me when i say only these option can get you a good job......

and to get career like IB/consultants which has high barrier and CA and Mba is need to reach this level....

I KNOW many people will say acca, cfa or cpa..

so lemme me give you a REAL image about these courses:

ACCA is not valued in india.... it will fetch you only 6-7lpa.... which is not so good considering the cost to do acca. (YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED AS CHEAP CA)

NOW CFA i know, its is a good certificate but only when if combined with a GOOD PG degree... only cfa won't get you a job and again chech the roi (1.2 lakh for 1 paper which means around 3.6 lakh for all 3 level and still won't make you job ready)

and other courses like cpa, cma or us cpa are just names in india you will get close to nothing with these certificates....

and for comparison, an average guy can get in good tier 1 or 2 college with much less effort compare to CA..(yes its truth) and get much more salary than CA... if learn skill (which is relatively easy compare to upskilling in commerce field).

both tech and non tech sector has brutal working life... yet tech people get high salary compare to commerce grad and on the topic of unemployment bba/bcom grad have high unemployment compare to btech....

so in a nutshell, in india tech industry provide better pay with low effort compare to commerce/finance sector... (cant argue about low job security in tech sector )

so choose commerce stream wisely.... and only after you do throughly research about career in this field.....

choice is yours = 1) enjoy 11th 12th and heavy struggle later...

2. struggle hard for 2 year (11th 12th) and get easy life later if got good college.....

What tf should I do? I'm so lost. I was enjoying the vacation till now. Now dont give me vague answers like start a passion project etc. tell me what to do AND HOW TO DO IT.

I know java till the syllabus only but I am planning to learn more about it. So suggest me some ways by how I can learn Java and become a master at java.

Also I was interested in volunteering and I emailed some non profits in kolkata but they did not respond (I emailed during the maths exams gaps). So please tell me some non profits in kolkata where I can do volunteering to build my portfolio.

PLEASE GUYS HELP ME OUT.
