myquals

im studying humanities/arts and as much as i really love it and interested in it, i want to make career in a pretty niche field which is ofcourse risky, requires connections, and a-lot of other stuff that i may not be able to fully dedicate myself in

i basically want to work in museums/art research/archaeology related field, and im interested in studying history/archaeology/anthropology/museology

problem is most colleges in india dont even provide degree in what i want to study and make my career path in. there are only few colleges that provides ancient indian history and archaeology course, and barely any college that provides BA in anthropology. (im aware of few private colleges providing sociology/anthropology)

and the thing is since its a pretty niche field, i also need guidance to make my way into this field. if there is anyone in this sub who can help me out, i will appreciate it alot

im just worried if i will never be able to get a satisfying job, other majors im interested in are philosophy and sociology, but i ofcourse dont know if i can make something out of it

the problem is my subjects are also very limited, they are history, pol sci, fine arts, sociology, i wanted the easiest combinations of subjects. but my choices are very narrowed

so i was wondering what other career options reliable in india are left for me. i know i can do law after bachelors, but im not very sure of it.

can i switch to stem after humanities degree? something like data science, or anything like that? im sure alot of people in sociology + stem masters land up pretty good job.

the thing is i just want a great guidance, also would appreciate if anyone can give guidance to study somewhere else apart from here that does guarantee a good outcome

Can anybody suggest me some good e-materials on library science to crack ugc net exam? my_qualifications are M.A. and MLIS.

Hello everyone. I am a 22 year old boy. my_qualifications: BSc(physics),MS(ongoing). I have been a consistent student for majority of my life. Scored good percentages in 10th and 12th boards, finished BSc from one of the better colleges, currently in one of the IISERs pursuing MS. I come from a traditional middle class Indian patriarchal family. In 2020 and 2021 I appeared for NEET twice, couldn't qualify, never appeared for JEE. I still remember the cold glares and unsatisfied tone of father whenever I mentioned JEE or engineering (don't know the reason even today). In this process I repeated a year missed 'Inspire' scholarship, later in 2021 got admitted to one of the state colleges in West Bengal which comes under NIRF top 30, after some pursuing from my physics tutor father agreed to let me get admitted. I didn't even let him know I was filling up some form for traditional BSc and it was only the day, the college authority called, he came to know I appeared for their admission test. There I studied for 3 years from hostel, a warm 3 years , my grades was below average for the average standard of my department still managed to keep over 7 cgpa. After finishing this year I got admission in one of the IISERs for MS. Father was somewhat relieved with all these but the taunts never stopped. Currently I stay in the hostels far west of home state where father stays. In a brief I can say safely say I am on run from all the cold glares and the taunts, and for some validation from father. With all these, I have been just 'planning' for my future career for 4 years now. I have thought about MBA which requires preparation for CAT, and other option is PhD which requires again a great preparation,marks internship, recommendation all these. First semester just finished and I have done terrible means terrible barely passing in some subjects and for sure have to repeat one paper. Plus if I don't improve grades next sem have to repeat an entire year. My father has retired and I will be turning 23 in 3 months, no where to run or hide anymore, no one will give damn about anything if I just fail. I acknowledge my father's efforts and well wishes but I can not return to that hell hole again rather I should just die. Please suggest me a direction I know I am not the first and only person in a situation like this many of you have been or are in similar situation how do I get out of this. I don't have any industry relevant skills, I am working on it and I don't want to continue in academia anymore, I just want to leave and live on my own, for my own. Please give me a bit of direction. One more thing I need to acknowledge I have wasted a lot of time and resources but want to move on and do better

Hello, everyone!

I’m a 2nd-year Electronics Engineering student at a Tier-1 college, trying to plan my career trajectory. While I’ve been exploring both CAT (for MBA) and higher studies in engineering, I’m leaning more toward an MBA in finance. The primary reason is that my current CGPA isn’t competitive enough to secure admissions for a top-tier master’s degree abroad, but I believe I can make it work with an MBA from a premier Indian institute.

Here’s a quick overview of my_qualifications:

• Category: General Engineering Male
• 10th std: 95.2%
• 12th std: 95%
• Current CGPA: 7.5 (I plan to push this to 8.5 by graduation)
• Institution: Tier-1 engineering college

In terms of achievements, most of my extracurriculars are technical. I’ve worked extensively on robotics and digital design projects, and I’ve contributed to a Mars rover project. That said, I don’t have a strong profile in terms of leadership roles or significant non-technical extracurriculars.

My questions:

1. What CAT percentile would I need for a safe call from IIM Bangalore (or A/B/C)?
2. How much does my CGPA affect my chances for IIM A/B/C, and can a high CAT score compensate for it?
3. Apart from acing CAT, how can I strengthen my profile to maximize my chances?
4. Considering my pre-MBA profile, would I face significant barriers in securing top-tier placements in finance at IIMs during summer or final placements?

I’d appreciate any insights or advice on how to navigate this journey and make myself stand out. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. Recently ISI made an announcement that they'll be filling their seats of the BSDS Program (Bachelor's in Statistical Data Science) through JEE Mains and CUET. I have been considering this as an option. But the course is VERY new, no batch has passed out yet, and there are some subjects which will be taken up online (you'll be in class, but the lecture will be streamed online). So could someone please tell me if the course is worth joining?

Thank you!

myquals:- aspirant

So basically I’m looking into options after 12th rn and I’m thinking of doing bba hons. From a private university here like say Ahmedabad university. After graduating will I be able to get a job in the us, like would employers acknowledge my degree, is it worth anything there? I say I’m doing bba cuz I wanna do an mba from there in the future. Thanks

My_qualifications: studying 12th under cbse right now

I’m sorry if this is not the right sub can you point me to the right sub for this? Thank you

qualifications: Final year B.Tech I come from a prestigious Tier 2 college (Institute of National Importance). So, I got an internship in 3rd yr in one of the companies that came oncampus. Later on, I got offers from two giant PBCs offcampus which I was not allowed to take owing to the One student, One Job rule. This was the case with few more students. So, we decided to manage 2 internships which we did. We went for oncampus internship and then interned at the offcampus company.

Later on, we got PPO from oncampus company earlier. Now if we deny the PPO, we would be debarred from placement process and the same happens when we accept it. So there's no option left with us. Later on I got PPO from the offcampus company too.

Now for a while I have been trying to convince the TNP to allow me to take the offcampus offer. To make things complicated, I was looking for a 6 month internship. I eventually got one offcampus in Google. However, my college is asking all students going for offcampus 6 months internship to submit an affidavit(a signed letter addressing our Placement Head) saying that those with oncampus FTE offers must join that company in the end post internship. Failing to do so might lead to "strict action as deemed by the institute".

Now, we don't have the policy to know the exact action that might be taken. And I worked very hard to get into Google. Added to this, I don't want to risk my offcampus FTE offer which I am trying to convince my college to agree to.

Is Google worth the risk taking? Given I don't even know the severity of the action that can be taken.

(They have a 100 reasons to tell why the policy can't be made public so protesting them to make it public won't work)

Any suggestions what should I do? Should I sign the affidavit?

And what is the worst that might happen? Is the college still eligible to withold my degree in this scenario if I go for the 6 month internship?

Hi All,

I am stage in my life where I feel intellectually not fulfilled. I have total 5 years of work experience as a data scientist. I am exploring the option of doing PhD in data science along with my job. Through this group I want to get in touch with people who have done PhD in data science.

Specific question -

1. Is it worth doing PhD for someone like me who wants to further in their career?
2. What will be the benefits of having a PhD?

myquals - Engineering degree in Production Engineering with minors in CS Engineering from a top NIT. 5+ years of work experience across industries including top Management Consulting firm.

I am a 19(F) from Miranda House college, and my qualifications are: 2nd year student in English Honours 96% in 12th boards I am pursuing a semester long certificate course from Harvard through their EdX platform and am learning Italian from Wellesley College from the same platform. I am aiming for a career in academia since im passionate about my subject and course. I want to do my Masters from abroad but from not any uni, from a good and reputed institution. But since i come from a middle class background there's no way i can afford it, so my back up is to give CUET PG and get into JNU or such universities in India. The thing is i feel inadequate for scholarships and dont know enough about them. I also want to start earning my own money to pay my monthly expenses and part of my college tuition. Anyone who can help me out please?

My qualifications: passed 10th with 10 GPA, passed 12th (subjects- political science, business studies, Accounts, economics) 97%. Also Commerce+maths option wasn't available, which I regret the mosttttt. This is my drop year, because I wanted to try Clat, which was in December so I decided to try CA foundation until then (because this is why I chose commerce) and guess what I failed, scored 124 marks (required 200 to pass, out of 400) then I applied for CLAT and guess what I haven't prepared at all, I am not even going to appear for the exam it is literally tomorrow.... Now I am directionless, hopeless, clueless...what should I do? I don't want to end up preparing for some government exam, help me with which degree should I opt or any other way I can persue law, or may be economics, or idkkk....

Same as title, my qualifications are that I've done bsc hnrs in economics and was preparing for banking but for some reason I just feel like MBA through MAT would be better. Ik CAT is tough so I'm not even considering that but does anyone have any idea regarding the toughness level of banking vs MAT?

Myquals: I will graduate with PCB in CBSE board 2025. I want to add Additional subject, Maths through NIOS single subject exam. Will that Maths Certificate along CBSE (PCB, Making it PCMB altogether) be accepted during admission in private engineering colleges like Banglore colleges like RVCE Ramaiah BMS, KIIT Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad (by DONATION Management quota)?

Myquals :'m a student at Jadavpur university, dept of Econs...currently in my second year.

As far as I understood the NEP has the following options

1. Exit After 1 year
2. Exit after 2 years
3. Exit after 3 years
4. 4 years hons degree
5. 4 years hons with research degree

My concerns are regarding entry to the 4th year. In the draft of the NEP notice by UGC, they had mentioned that to get into the 4th year, we need to have 75% marks in six sems...but the draft was later finalised and in the final notice, nothing like that was mentioned...instead in the final notice, the 75% criteria was only for getting into the hons with research thingy...

I'm so confused by these...can someone correct me if I'm thinking wrong?

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE🫶🫶🫶

Hello, I would like to advise everyone not to engage with this company. 3 days ago I received a whatsApp message, with a program I was interested in. However, less than 12 hours later, I was notified that there was a closure for payment and so I requested for one more day so that my friends could also join. However, d/t financial circumstances I was not able to respond by that evening. This afternoon, I have received odd and aggressive messages, from the company's associates. If this was a legitimate business, no such personal response would've issued. Please don't engage with this company, as tempting as it may seem. I have attached the initial and odd messages. qualifications

I am going to take my boards exam after 3 months (approx) and I am in a state of confusion regarding my future stream. My father wants me to take PCB as he believes it has great opportunities for future but I have never liked it at all. I want to choose commerce stream but my family's financial situation is pretty weak. And more so this year's NEET scam has given me serious PTSD regarding this stream so I am really frightful about choosing medical as a career. But I know that if I make up my mind about any of the 2, I'll be able to get in. So I am really confused about whether I should choose PCB or commerce? Please provide some good suggestions (keeping the financial situation of my family) in consideration) my qualifications

Hi I'm 19F (myquals- 10th-95.8% from ICSE, 12th-79.2% from CBSE PCB+P.E.)
I'm currently in a drop year preparing for NEET. and let's be honest it is REALLY tough to crack this exam nowadays. I'm pretty sure that the maximum I can get in this exam is 620).
and i'm not even sure i want to spend 8-9 years of my life building a career.
Is there a career option that would guarantee a job by 25/26? i don't want to earn a lot of money. maybe 80-90k maximum by the age of 30. I just want that job security, and considerable amount of vacations( i love travelling). i thought mbbs would have those things but it just became impossible to get into.
I could've done engineering if I had maths in high school, but i didnt and it was a huge mistake.
so please suggest some career options for me, and also tell me the best Indian universities I can get into to pursue those courses. (PS- my family isn't financially strong enough to fund me through a private college)

My qualifications are 85% in 10th and 65% in 12th PCM and I'm currently doing BSc in IGNOU. I want to take admission in a Mumbai college (since I live in Mumbai) but I am not sure about a college or a course.

What I am sure about is that I will not take another BSc course in an offline college but rather something different yet compatible with my ongoing course which would make my resume appear good or I would get a good job because of it.

Please suggest me any course or college which I can apply for even if they got entrance exams or something I am eligible for.

So I recently dropped out from NIFT delhi in my first semester. I shouldn't have joined nift at first but I didnt have any options left as I couldnt clear nid and thought that at least nift is a gov college and that its reputation is good. As design was a career that I initially wanted from my highschool years, I thought to give it a try and do my best BUT it all changed after I joined nift. I actually didnt really have high expectations as I wanted NID. Reality is this that even after being a gov college its fees are way too much for a middle class person. If you re from middle class its a failure to go for it, this is what I got to know latter.

I WANT TO REALLY KNOW YOUR OPINIONS IF WHAT I DID WAS RIGHT OR WAS THERE SOMETHING I MISSING? Of course I dont regret my choice of dropping but when I see my batch mates doing a lot of things , I just thought to ask other graduates opinions.

qualifications - currently pursuing ba hons from DU (didnt wanted to waste an year, will give entrance In may 2025 for pursuing double degrees)

I am 20, studying in a good design college in my 3rd year, after I graduate my qualifications would be B.Des but want to switch careers to become a teacher in a school in Delhi NCR. Need the job to be at least paying 40-50k PM. I want to teach only up to class 5. Let me know how to proceed with clear information on next steps, course, recommendations, schools etc.

My qualifications bachelors in Triple major Chemistry, botany, zoo and masters in food science. Need help with colleges who provide B.Ed M.Ed integrated programs how can I get admission into those universities..

“myquals” is CSE graduate @2023 and i want to understand the opportunity in govt sector.

I am currently in 10th (qualifications) and the year is about to end, forms and admissions have to be filled but I still don't know what to do. I asked my father about the same and he said that if you don't know what to take, then take science (PCMC). I have been a student more inclined towards socials and tbh I have never liked science but I do like Math and Coding. I have no clue what to do next and pressure is building up so I just wanted to seek some advice...
