Is anyone else here taking bachelor's in radiologic technology? 🙋‍♀️

myquals: 12th

As the topic suggests, is there anyone taking this course too?

The course name may be different, like in some other institute it's called BMIT (Bachelor's in medical imaging technology)

In my case, it's used to be called (Bachelor's in radiologic and imaging technology) but changed into BMRIT (Bachelor's in medical radiology and imaging technology)

for someone who easily scores full in 11th, 12th biology; is there even a career with good pay

myquals: 93% in 10th, PCB 12th but will add Maths through nios.

First of all, I'm talking about pay because I would like to start earning in the next 7-8 years, and with a good pay. As a middle-class whose father is retiring in 6 years, I'm quite concerned about salary, so I mentioned money.

Coming to the main point, I love biology. It is a subject I have no trouble studying or understanding or memorising. So Is it possible for me to achieve a career in the field, considering my circumstances? I'm willing to put in the hardwork.

My interests: Human behavior, working of brain, literature, writing and reading. I have also been considering maybe trying learning graphic designing.

Please advice anything that you can think of regarding my interests and strengths. I'm average at problem-solving subjects like maths and physics. I score above 80 easily in those subjects, so I'm not too bad in them.

Is doing bsc Economics worth it and what kind of jobs can one get after completing the degree

My qualifications - 93% in 10th. I am currently in 11th commerce+ maths I am pretty good at maths and consistently score high marks in it. That's why I'm looking to do a degree related to it. I actually am really interested in economics as well so I am thinking about doing bsc economics. My main question is that what are the job opportunities after completing a degree in bsc economics. Like can I go into finance or research or do I need to do masters. Cause I for sure don't want to appear for government exams. If anyone here has done bsc economics I would love to hear your opinion/ advice.

Is pursuing a Master's Degree after B.Tech worth it?

Background: The placement season at my university is about to start, and one of the violation is that I must not be aiming for a master's degree, if so I must only sit for service type jobs offering a package of 6- LPA. I have completed several projects related to ML/NLP/CV, but I don't have any Internship experience that I can mention in my resume as the ones I had applied all turned out to cash grab scams. Despite that, I still have some industrial training in this field which was provided by a third-party organisation associated with my university. Along with that, I have professional certification in DS from IBM and I am currently working on 2 research projects in Healthcare and Astronomy.

I have been planning to do Masters from the very beginning of my UG and now that the time has come to finally work on it, I have started to see online forums stating that Master's degree won't land me a better job and it is only a waste of time and money. I would like to know other's opinion on this.

Additionally, I would also like to know what International and Domestic University options I have for pursuing a Master's degree in DS/AI or any other related field (if so, please comment it so that I can go through its course path).

Current qualifications: 6th Sem - B.Tech in CSE Core @ 2-Tier University, focusing majorly on Data Science & AI

Looking for replacement of YouTube as educational platform

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about how studying on platforms like YouTube can be really distracting. Even though there are tons of great educational videos, it's easy to get sidetracked by random recommendations, ads, and non-academic content.

It made me wonder — why isn't there a dedicated platform that simply aggregates educational videos without distractions? Like a place where creators can upload academic content for subjects (like CBSE , competitive exam, and other learning topics) — but without YouTube's distractions.

Do you guys think there's a need for such a platform? Have you found any alternatives that work better? Would love to hear your thoughts! myquals 12 th grader

I want to change streams at the end of class 11. Should i repeat an year? Will it harm me in the future?

My_qualifications 10th pass out with 80%

So i took Humanities in class 11 as i had initially planned on a creative arts career path however i decided to change my plans as its not compatible with my future career goals.

Should i follow through with this? How much damage will this do to my resume?

Depressed af (Not a rant but a plea for help).

23F this side. Myquals - BSc in Microbiology (4 yrs course) CGPA 10 in 10th 78% in 12th 8.6 GPA in grad

After graduating from a Tier 3 college in BSc Microbiology hons I took a drop for a year for preparing for management exams such as CAT & XAT but unfortunately scored way too poorly. Also, I've lost interest in MSc so won't be going down the path. My parents want me to prep for a govt job esp babking ones since I have prepped for CAT.

But tbh Idk what to do. If I take a drop of one more year for CAT, I'll be decreasing my chances of getting into a good B school plus my parents are kind of against doing an MBA given the high fees and abysmal job market rn. They want me to prep for a govt job instead but the competition is insane there. Also if I were to somehow score well I'm CAT'25 too then I'll be having a gap of 2 years.

Please don't suggest me to take up a job since I come from a small town and we don't really have any jobs here and I can't relocate to a different state for a meagre job. Please help me out, if you can. Thank you for reading.

Kinda trapped in preparing for SSC CGL. Now thinking about a different path preferrably something to do with data and statistics

Hey, so this is my situation. I graduated (“myquals”);

~ BSC MATHEMATICS (2022)

~ w/ STATISTICS AND COMPUTER APPLICATION as complementary subjects.

After graduating, initially I thought about pursuing DATA ANALYST/SCIENCE courses but I thought maybe CGL was a safer option (owing to job security). But with competition rising and with subpar level question papers I happen to be in a conundrum. (CGL 2024 mains—312 marks, which was a safe option to land a job till last year but now hanging by a thread).

Is it a safe option for me to go for data analyst/science. I have low coding/programming knowledge (I had 2 semester of programming classes with 1 practicals which was basic).

And most of the youtube videos that I watched have refrenced about SQL, PYTHON, libraries etc. I am very enthusiastic when it comes to computer and stuff and have confidence that I will be able to do a good job while preparing. So it is possible for a DEGREE GRADUATE to try DATA SCIENCE?

Also, please feel free to advise on some good PGDM course (1 year), if any, related to DATA SCIENCE.

What do peeps in 7th - 10th standard watch on YouTube? Asking for my academic research project?

As the title suggests. I've been tasked with reseaching what 7-10th Standard peeps watch on YouTube for a project we're working on.

For anyone interested about the project:

My professor wanted us to find out how the content space has changed from 2010 to 2025 based on what people tend to watch on the Internet. We're a team of 10 peeps working together to tie the knots between peeps who are currently pursuing their doctorate degree to peeps who passed their 6th academic year and specifically, I've been tasked with the youngsters of this generation!

The main objective of this project is to study how content shapes our future behaviors, personalities and hobbies based on the content/ creators that we watch on the internet.

It'll be much appreciated if you could help me out with this bois :D

ps. if you can suggest me similar subreddits as well to ask this question, it'll be more than appreciated as well! Thanks a ton for reading through this :D

Want to do master in machine learning and AI from abroad.

I have been a good student throughout my life. My qualifications are 94 percent in my 10 and 12 and cleared my Jee mains with 99 percentile jee advanced with 8000 ranks and got a chance to study at IIT BHU(Chemical Engineering). There I explored many things, including chemical core and pretty soon I realized that it was not for me. But I had a deep interest in the area of machine learning and AI. I scored 200 rank in GATE DA. I am going to graduate with 8 cgpa and 2 research paper in the field of machine learning. I want to do a master from foreign in the field of machine learning and AI. Is there a chance for me to get a scholarship in any of the top universities of the world?

Lost in UPSC Prep, No Job, Thinking of CUET PG – Need Advice on the Right Master's

Hey everyone,

I [F25] need some advice on my next steps. Here’s my situation:

  • myquals - B Tech in CSE (2022).
  • did a 1-year internship in my final year and was offered a PPO, but I rejected it for UPSC.
  • was in Delhi, now studying at home.
  • attempted UPSC in 2023 & 2024, but couldn’t clear mains.
  • now, unsure about 2025 attempt, feeling stuck, monotonous, and low on motivation.
  • lost my coding skills and not sure if I can land a tech job now.
  • I want something peaceful but not low-paying. I can handle a high-pay, hectic job, but my skillset is weak at this point.
  • thought about MBA, but I don’t have the time or money to prepare and pursue it.

Now, I’ve seen that CUET PG forms are open and I’m considering doing a Master’s.

Since I have an engineering background, I’m unsure which humanities subject would be a good fit.

I don’t want to quit UPSC, but I feel like going to college will bring back structure and motivation. I’ll treat it like a full-time job and study alongside it.

My optional is Anthropology, but I feel in Masters it involves too many projects, so I don’t want to continue with it. I need a subject with less pressure that can still help me in my career.

What master’s program would you suggest?
Or Should I drop the Idea?

My confidence and self-esteem is so low, how would I motivate myself?

Myquals: 12th

Wasting my precious 3 years on NEET and not even attending any college led me to the deepest regret I'll ever bore. Now I want to retry for the sake of my futute and luckily could get into a dream college not the course though. Here I met so many of my juniors back in 10th, some are my classmate and some are my seniors and feel so ashamed of myself since then. If I would have join any college when I pass my board, I would have already finish my bachelor's like my peers or might be in my internship already on my course.

My classmate are only around 18-20, all young people and very bright, and moreover, looking back on my old classmate who are pursuing their dreams like nursing, mbbs, or other course made me so incredibly jealous and hateful on myself because I have no dream for myself, I would probably never became as successful as them nor can never really let go of my past.

I do tried to motivate by telling myself that the past is the past but it's still put a huge scar in my mental health and I don't think I'll ever overcome it.

I'm hating myself so much over this, why am I such a stupid being.

what is up with TISS being so secretive online

i am a preparing for psychology cuet pg 25 currently and one of my top choices is ofc TISS. myquals ba hons appl psych

However, i feel like there is little to no information abt the ma applied psychology (counselling anf clinical) program online! i couldn’t even find a subred for tiss!!??

this seems very weird to me considering it is a top school for psychology. i have not seen a single post about what students are doing after their degrees in psych from tiss.

i am really curious about their placements and prospective careers of students considering TISS claims 100% placements.

also im curious to know what the research environment is like for the psych course particularly

TL,DR: TISS alumni pls respond!

Please help me choose between Msc CS and MCA.

My qualifications - I'm a second year Bsc CS student. I regret not studying harder for my entrance exams, I don't want to repeat this mistake. My college doesn't offer any great placements either so it's about damn time I start searching for colleges for my masters but I'm unsure if l should go for MCS or MCA. Which degree do these corporate companies prefer? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
