How should I convince my dad for study abroad.

Hi, I am 18F, currently in 12th grade PCM graduating in 2027, and I want to study abroad.
I don't want to give Jee, not that I can't, but it doesn't match my interests and mindset. The idea of people just running after cs Eng is insane, like people have some passion. Ok I understand you are confused and fine but what about other...... . And then on the other side, just bcus people didn't have good ranks, they force themselves to pursue mechanical, civil, biotechnology. This I HATE.

Another insane fact of our country: If 12th boards marks don't matter anywhere in admission further in college, which is next step after our school life. Then why we are working so hard for boards and creating hype boards 12th boards. then why are we even preparing for them. we can just study and give normal exams in school but no. First prepare for enterance then boards then again enterance. INSANE MAN!!!

On the other side of the world, you are admitted to the course you are interested in, genuinely passionate. You are not judged holistically. I think this brings up the real you (perspective of cbse student). In cbse all we learned was from textbooks, ans should be from ncert etc. It didn't help me personally grow as other people do. I think it limited my thinking process to books only. just whole life grinding books.

sorry if i hurt anyone but it is what i think but the issue is I have to convince my dad which is the biggest task in the whole world. He is strict, like you fear of him before speaking, your car rides are just staying quiet. That type of dad. My mum is with me but she has no power in this descion making. then my dadi my papa's comander. just need to convince them. My dadi still has like very backward thinking girls this boys that etc.
Need help to convince my dad to let me study abroad, he is so like old minded, there was an incident in my family so basically my i have very conservative, religious old fashion family who thinks bad of studying abroad. They feel child gets freed and go to bad paths.
There is no issue of money.

But i genuinely have goals and want to achieve something in life want to do something. I want to persue best education possible because i can my family have resources. It will help me grow build confidence amd most importantly i will be surrounded by passionate people around me which will push me to work hard.
