I'm planning to study in DU.. my qualifications is 12th pass n currently in my drop year.. what can be the precise n accurate living cost in Delhi.. also how can i survive on my own without any investments from my family?

My qualifications are 94% in 10th, 98% in 12th, 6.5 CGPA in undergrad in English Literature from LSR.

I have a ton of extracurricular experience; President of Quiz Society, part of photography society, college magazine, student council, department OC, annual festival OC, designer for a bunch of annual college publications.

I also ran my own freelance design business for 1.5 years while in college + have done 3 internships. I also volunteered with 5 different organisations. I will also have 2 years of work experience by the time I apply to IIMA from either Zomato or WPP Global.

myquals: 10th-94.4% , 12th: Expecting around 85-90%

Here are some colleges I am considering, along with their pros and cons:

1. St. Xavier's College (BMS)

Pros:

• Great placements
• Good brand value
• Pretty big campus
• Clubs and Committees like HCAP, Fin Cell, Econundrum, Malhar, and Zephyrus Fest, etc.

[Considering SXC just to leverage it's placements and brand value for BMS and other aspects look good too, but it's too difficult to get in for general category student :( ]

Cons:

• Strict attendance policy
• Limited participation in intercollegiate fests and events in Mumbai (from what I've heard)

2. HR College (BFM/BAF)

Pros:

• Lenient attendance policy
• Considered one of the best in Mumbai for commerce
• Slightly better placement statistics compared to Jai Hind, KC (Possibly because many HR students pursue professional courses like CA, ACCA, CMA, CFA during their degree, which could skew the stats)
• Wide variety of clubs, including Accountancy Association, BFM Committee, BMS Committee, Investment Club, 180 Degrees Consulting, and 52 others
• Good exposure

Cons:

• Very small campus, sharing facilities with KC
• Outdated infra
• Literally no one attends classes , leading to a somewhat dull college experience compared to Jai Hind/SXC
• Fees is almost 50-60% higher than Jai Hind. The college has experienced significant fee hikes in the past few years, and it seems that the college is under renovation forever

3. Jai Hind College (BFM/BAF)

Pros:

• Campus location is better than HR/KC, very close to Marine Drive and Churchgate station
• Has a canteen, unlike HR
• Hosts numerous fests but offers fewer clubs/committees like E-Cell, Business Conclave, etc.
• Infrastructure is decent, especially considering the fees. Classes are held in the Sheila Gopal Raheja building, which has. air-conditioned rooms and is well-maintained.

Cons:

• Year-on-year, median placement and other statistics show a decline, as per their NIRF report (Possibly due to recession like situation and hiring freezes). There's conflicting information regarding placement numbers and brand value compared to HR.
• Though there is a sizable amount of outstation students, the presence of wannabe "sobo cool kids" crowd,is concerning me.

Please help me in picking a good degree college

Additional information: I am from Sindhi minority,

Qualifications: BTech (CSE) So I want to do MBA from a top college. Is it Possible? 10th :89% 12th: 77% BTech CGPA: 7.99 Current: Working as a UX designer for last 3 yrs.

Do I stand a chance?

I want to redo my schooling, because, back when I was in 10th - 12th class, I used to get bullied a lot and I was not able to focus on studies, this resulted in my grades plummeting.

I didn't get to choose my desired stream so I want to give the schooling an another shot. Is it possible in India to go back to 10th class through open schooling after completing 12th class from regular C.B.S.E.?

Myquals - 10th, 12th, B.B.A., L.L.B.

Let me start off by saying this situation is different than all the other situations of other students not being free to choose what they want.

My dad wants me to choose science while I prefer commerce.

I want to choose commerce because :-

I have an innate interest in business. Deeply empathising with a customer to the point of completely understanding them and finding the best way to sell stuff to them. Its all very interesting to me and actually makes me thrilled.

I actually have some real experience with business and marketing. Back in 8th grade I joined two 12th grade seniors that travelled with me in the bus in their endeavour to make a school discord hub. I was in charge of marketing the server. In just one year I got almost 90% of the people from class 6-12 in my entire school to join. It was incredible and I had fun the entire time. It was a calculated marketing strategy that got me to that point. I got people had never even heard of discord to actively using the server.

Since marketing that discord server I have been very interested in business, and I'm rather good at it as well. Even if I don't do well in business you must be able to tell that I enjoy business itself so atleast I'll be happy and that's all I want in the end. But still, I am confident in my abilities so I'll probably do well.

But the biggest reason I wanna go the business route is ambition. My parents have always been rich and I want to continue living like that or potentially even more luxuriously. I will not be satisfied with the 1-2 lakh per month or even less engineers in India earn. Some people may call me spoiled but I'd rather die than earn only a lakh or two. I'm not into engineering as well.

Now my parents' arguments.

Both of them grew up lower middle class, went into science stream and got really good marks and so they got into IITs and became engineers. My dad and mom started a coaching business and were very well off when I was born. They probably had enough to retire and live luxuriously for the rest of their life.

They believe I should choose science because I can become a software engineer if I go down that path (I'm also into computers). They think it'll be safe for my future and they also have a superiority complex as science students.

My parents are not opposed to the idea of me getting into business itself, but the idea of going commerce because of their ego and paranoia. My dad said I could get an MBA after I get a degree in software engineering 💀🤡. What is the point of that software degree then?

I have explained that it's totally safe because I'm smart. Also by the way, the seniors that I mentioned skipped getting a degree and started a business together and are now earning crores of rupees per aunumn at the age of fkin 20 or something 🙃. Any more info would doxx them. I also told my parents about them but they still don't agree. How can I explain that they are don't have the qualifications necessary to decide my future?

How do I persuade them into letting me do what I want? Or should I listen to them?

Edit : Also, there's really no issue if I fail in business tbh. Even if because of extreme misfortune I fail in everything then I can just take over my dad's business. There's nothing to do in the business to be honest. His business has plateaued. Students keep coming in, money keeps coming in. Everything is handled by managers and other staff. My dad doesn't even go to his office anymore. Parents are retired in all but name. I can live luxuriously forever 😂. Even if somehow, miraculously, my dad's business goes down I can maintain an upper class lifestyle with my inheritance.

TLDR : No stakes for not succeeding.

But that doesn't mean I'll do nothing with my life though. I'm pretty ambitious and I want to be more than my parents. The idea of just inheriting a bunch of money and living off it sounds sad to me. Also my parents are exclusively new money so they're rich but not billionaires 😂.

basically my moms sister and her husband,both are usa citizens....can they sponsor for nri quota in nit

myquals: 10th: 94.4% stream: Commerce HSC MH board 12th: 85-90% ( Expected)

Just gave my 12th HSC boards and filled out the CET form, but I am still confused about what to do next. My interest lies primarily in finance/economics and business. Although I liked Bookkeeping/Accounting during my junior college, I am not as passionate about it as I am about finance. From what I've researched so far, the three most popular courses in Mumbai University are BAF (Bachelor's of Accounting and Finance), BMS (Bachelor's of Managerial Studies), and BFM (Bachelor's of Financial Markets).

But this is where things get confusing. Some people say that I should choose BAF because of the specialized Accounting + finance knowledge I would get from it. Additionally, one of the seniors I know got placed in Deloitte through BAF, and the general trend I have observed is that BAF really does have a good placement rate. However, 70% of it is accounting, and the rest is about finance.

The second option is BFM; though the course content seems quite interesting and it would really help me if I pursue CFA/MBA in finance/FRM further, the major con is that it's a bit theoretical.

Lastly, BMS is the most popular one and you generally get an option of finance specialization in the 2nd year (one of the reasons why I am considering this), but in the first year, it is full of management theories, and I had a hard time with it because I had to rote learn that in 12th OCM. However, the pros of BMS are a good peer group (since now admission will be through CET and BMS is generally chosen by people from other streams as well). It's the course where you learn a bit of everything, basically 'Jack of all trades, Master of none.' Also, if I pursue BMS from St. Xavier's, the placement stats are one of the best in Bombay.

currently my college preferences are:

1)St Xavier's (for BMS) 2)HR (BFM/BAF) 3)Jai Hind (BFM/BAF) 4)KC 5)RA Podar

Please help me through this and bear with my limited knowledge

myquals 77/92/76 Commerce in 12th and BBA from a tier 1 college

I'm reaching out on behalf of my sister, who is pursuing her BCA from a private university. As her third sem will start in July, we want to secure scholarships that can provide vital financial support throughout her undergraduate studies.
Any insights, tips, or resources you can share would be immensely appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping me and my sister.
Qualifications: 12th passed (71%) general female

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice right now. Here's a little background about myself along with my qualifications: I scored 94% in 10th grade and 68.6% in 12th grade (PCM), both completed from UBSE (Uttarakhand State Board). However, after completing 12th, I couldn't afford to enroll in college due to my family's financial struggles, and I had to start working to support them. Unfortunately, we couldn't secure an education loan either, as we didn't have any collateral to offer. I am going to be 18 this may
So here I am, already having taken one gap year, and it looks like I might have to take another one. Our financial situation hasn't improved much, and I still need to work to help pay off debts. Coming from a rural area, I feel somewhat isolated and disconnected from the opportunities out there.
My dream is to pursue a BBA and eventually an MBA. But with the possibility of another gap year looming over me, I'm torn between different options. Should I opt for distance learning for BBA to balance work and education? Or should I take another gap year to pursue a regular BBA program? Or perhaps I should just leave everything behind and try to go to college this year, despite the challenges?

I would only go for some reputed colleges after giving cuet. And I have been told that top private colleges give scholarship and loans are sanctioned easily too. I have heard that a Gap year can hinder many possibilities from getting into a good college to getting placed and everything. Even being older than your classmates can be an issue .
I'm worried that if I wait another two years before starting my BBA, it might impact my job prospects in the future. The stress of not knowing the best path forward is weighing heavily on me.
I apologize for the lengthy description, but I'm feeling lost and could really use some guidance. If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice to offer, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Okay so myquals are i am pursuing CA along with my ug degree and i have cleared foundation and the intermediate exams , i just want to know where should i add the same in my application, whether in the certifications area or the additional eductaion (as part time education area)?

Hey! I am currently an undergrad and want to pursue a Ph.D. at a top institute in theoretical physics mainly focused on cosmology or condensed matter after my master's. From what I have heard publications in a good journal increase the chances a lot which I am working on with one of my profs. However, I am not sure how things will turn out.
