I have got 59 in 12th and have a profile of 8/5/7 and preparing for cat currently … but from what I heard due to the “5” I will be struggling even if I get into tier 1 colleges cause of sip shortlisting and I am demotivated. My qualifications are that I am a BTech biotech graduate .

So what should I do ? Is it that bad that I won’t even get placed or won’t even get internship , even if it’s not a top company or high paying job? Any advice

MBA was my dream initially, but due to financial conditions at home and my average performance in graduation. I gave the SBI po exam and by God’s favor with some hard work got selected too. But my goal is to study in top MBA college like IIM A , B or C. Will the bank po job help in interview for IIM colleges?

Qualifications

Bsc biochemistry

10th 78 percent 12 80 percent

Grad 60 percent

Work ex : 2 years as SBI Probationary Officer.

Hello. My_qualifications: I am pursuing B.Arch from SPA and my 1st year is almost about to end. I am not liking architecture tbh. I hate the subjective part of it. I dislike making manual sheets, making it look pretty and all. I feel like I am aesthetically challenged. Most people say my ideas are good, but in execution it sort of becomes a mess. My drawing skills suck but I am working on it. I am not used to working with alcohol markers, watercolours, etc. Others seem naturally good at it and I feel left behind. The whole thing feels purposeless and annoying. I just want to keep my other options open. I don't want to go into design. I am thinking of going for filmmaking, but it just feels weird, since I never imagined myself in a too creative or subjective field, plus it's risky.

What are possible options I can explore after architecture if I don't want to go into construction?

Is it too early to judge if architecture is not for me?

Is it still possible for me to transition to engineering and R&D? What are the steps I can take?

"my_qualifications"- (10th - 92%) and (12th - 82%)

I’m 20 and currently a NEET dropper, but I’m really uncertain about my prep and might end up doing a BSc instead. My dad runs a recycling and scrap business with a 2cr turnover and wants me to join him, but I’m struggling with the social stigma. People look down on the industry or shame me for not “building something on my own,” which makes me feel like I have to stick to academics just to prove a point. On top of that, I’m worried that if I stop pursuing the exam, my dad might eventually think less of me or see me as a loser for not making it. I actually enjoyed working with him for a few months, but I’m torn between getting a degree I’m not sold on or taking a head start in the family business. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of judgment or the fear of being seen as a failure by their parents? ( myquals is nothing)

My qualifications are : I completed my 12th grade and waiting for my results.

I got selected into BBA Aviation of Mount Carmel college Would like to know rhe course syllabus. I haven't done accounts in 12th and iam a bit worried . If someone could please share details regarding the course, it would be very helpful as the lesson plan is displaying only till 2nd semester.

Please help.

I dont just why they consider them as a inferior when they are the one who makes knowleadge and doctor are the one who works on the principal they established for example a biologist discover something likely a drug for cancer doctor are the one who would go though trials on the patient that means they both are interdependent and by no sense they are inferior and at most of the times biologist is more up to date to any new researches

myquals - dropper

My qualifications: 10th pass out and currently in 12 from science stream( ISC). Honestly I've no regret for choosing science in +2 but now I realise that if I want to pursue my higher studies I want it to be a social science subject. Currently I have Economics as one of my subjects and I truly like it, so I was considering to get into B.A. Economics (hons) but unfortunately I'm not eligible in most reputated colleges as a non-math student( I'm in PCB). Apart from it I had considered History(I like it a lot) but the option seems vague. For pg I've considered International relations or M.A. Economics and I would like to potentially get into leadership roles exploring management or marketing jobs in the future.

I'm in need of serious help and advice right now because the more I delay deciding a course, the more burdened I feel with worries of a good future. I would truly appreciate the help.

i have dissapointed my parents a lot and don't want that to happen anymore , my mind says commerce but they want me to be doctor

I started preparing for Google PCA exam in Feb 2026. Done with one of the udemy course. I'm still not feeling confident enough. Is there any good updated exam questions for practice for this exam? I need something which you guys have tried it already. Also if someone has already cleared this cert. pls share some tips. I'm nervous.

qualifications

Genuine question — how do you guys prepare for GDs and interviews beyond just reading tips?
I've been experimenting with something. I paired up with a few students from different colleges and we debated random topics for 15 minutes over video call.
No prep, no coaching, just picking a side and arguing. Honestly it helped more than any YouTube video I've watched about "how to be confident." Thinking of making this a regular thing — a small group where students get paired up weekly for practice debates.

Nothing formal, just consistent practice. Has anyone tried something similar? Would you be interested in something like this?My qualifications: 3rd year college student in Mumbai.

No credentials — just someone who's been practicing

this with a few friends and found it genuinely helpful.

I applied for the IAS SRFP 2026, and the official website mentioned that the results would be out by the last week of March or the first week of April.

Well, we are here now, and there has been absolutely zero intimation or activity from their side. No emails, no portal updates.

To anyone who has applied in previous years and gone through this:

• How do the results usually start rolling out? (Do they email you directly? Is it a mass update on the portal? Do they release it in phases?)
• What is the exact process after the results are announced? Any insights, past experiences, or timelines would be a huge help.

My qualifications: Btech in mechanical

Hey everyone,

qualifications: Bachelor of Science (Political Science)

I’m preparing for SSC CGL and I’m confused between Kiran and Pinnacle books (mainly for previous year questions practice).

I’m looking for a book that:

• Covers PYQs topic wise properly
• Has clear and easy to understand solutions
• Helps in building concepts, not just solving questions

If anyone has used both, could you please share:

• Which one you found better and why
• Pros and cons of each
• And if there’s any better alternative I should consider

I’m focusing on serious preparation, so quality matters more than just quantity.

Also, one more thing, is it better to go for the latest edition or older editions work fine?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Guys im 20 Myquals :- 10th :- 80 12th :- 70 ( pcm ) was struggling with health issues... Took a gap yr due to same reason. ..

Currently I'm in 4th sem ( B.A PROG ) DU Economics as my major subject....

Im confused what should I do now... Was never interested in coding that's why didn't opt for btech/ bca..

Interested in analytics, management, consultancy, policy kinds of rolesss..... nd very much interested in civil services.....

I've stuck with 2 choices....

Going for MBA

Going for economics masters....

I come from a very lower middle class family so I don't want a heavy debt on my family.... Nd want a job asap....( We r struggling financially)

My relatives are suggesting me to go for jobs like. CGL , bank clerk etc...

My own family doesn't know much about jobs nd studies so they just rely on me....

What should I do....

My qualifications are as second-year engineering student in India trying to break into internships, and honestly, the process has been pretty frustrating. Right now, my approach mainly involves using LinkedIn to find people at companies, digging around to get their email addresses, and then sending cold emails. On top of that, I spend hours researching companies through their websites, social media, and Google just to understand who to reach out to and whether they’re even worth applying to.

It feels really time-consuming and inefficient at times, and I’m not even sure if I’m doing this the “right” way. I wanted to ask—what are your approaches to internship applications? Are you also relying on cold emails, or do you use other strategies (referrals, portals, hackathons, etc.)?

Also, what are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in this process? Is it getting responses, finding the right contacts, lack of openings, or something else? I would really appreciate your help in the matter, because I really want to know if there is a more efficient way to apply.

(TLDR; Applying to internships is hard, is there a better way and what are some of the problems you have faced while applying and what are the solutions that you used?)

"myquals" class 12th

Hii

I am 18 year F , and had commerce with applied maths in 11th and 12th has just given 12th boards , expecting around 94%

I am confused and don't what to do , my parents and teachers are asking me to go for CA but I am not sure , I am thinking of giving CUET too,

but then thinking will it be right for me to do just normal undergrad even from top du college( if I get )

as I heard that people there also go for CA and other courses ,

I feel that I can crack ca foundation but what if I didn't make it to inter and then getting stuck won't be good

also I am from a small city which doesn't have good college if I do CA then I have to do it privately from a tier 3 college in my city that doesn't have any value

My parents have been forcing me for ca , also wanna know what are students doing after graduating from top du colleges like srcc, miranda ,or are they also prepare for other professional courses while doing bcom, bba

Want honest guide , to be out from this ambiguity.🙏

my_qualifications: Class 12 student (PCM) planning to pursue B.Tech

I need some guidance. I’m planning to pursue B.Tech, but my parents aren’t comfortable with the idea of me moving to another city and living on my own. We’ve had several disagreements about this.

As a result, they want me to attend a nearby college but honestly, it’s not a very good one it’s actually below average. I’m feeling quite conflicted and unsure about how this might affect my future

Given the situation, what can I do to make the most out of this college and still build a strong career for myself?

While exploring psychology and counseling as a career path, I’ve come across platforms like Counsel India and it made me reflect on how accessible learning in this field has become. Today, online courses are opening up opportunities for people to understand psychology in a structured and practical way.

From what I’ve seen, many learners appreciate how such courses simplify important psychological concepts and connect them to real-life situations. This makes learning more engaging and easier to apply in everyday interactions. The ability to study at your own pace also adds comfort, allowing learners to stay consistent while balancing other responsibilities.

Looking at the broader picture, counseling in India is becoming an increasingly valuable area, especially with growing awareness around mental well-being and emotional health. Learning psychology not only helps in building professional skills but also improves communication, empathy, and understanding of human behavior. These are qualities that naturally contribute to both personal growth and meaningful interactions.

Platforms like Counsel India seem to support this journey by offering a structured path where learners can gradually build their knowledge and confidence. The overall learning experience appears to focus on clarity, practical understanding, and steady progress.

In that sense, exploring psychology through such platforms can feel like a positive and worthwhile step for anyone interested in developing skills, gaining knowledge, and moving forward in the field of counseling.

my qualifications: Interested in psychology and looking into counseling courses in India.
