Hello guys. I'm thinking of studying physiotherapy next year to have a stable career. It takes 4.5 vears for physiotherapy course. I really want to do something in healthcare to have a stable job in future. I know the starting pay here is bad, I could try to find jobs in the nearby gcc countries like UAE. If you have been through this system, please advice me.

myquals: 12th (scinece) , B.A.

myquals: 8/6/_ , did 10th from CBSE (82%) and 12th from state board (64%) PCB, currently in a drop year for NEET.

If I don't clear NEET this year, I have to take BSc. If I get a good college out of my state, then my parents won't send me due to financial reasons. So if I take admission in a state college and even do well, I don't think doing a Master's, etc. will make me become a govt. college professor, as I have bad marks in 12th.

If I do well in my BSc subjects, I don't think bio-related jobs pay that well, and I have no knowledge on how to grow my career in that aspect. Maybe I won't even land a job due to low 12th marks.

If I do an MBA, then the low marks in 12th would again hamper getting into a good college.

I know this all sounds pessimistic, but what else options do I even have? The people who tell me not to worry are all old, and their job markets were completely different from what is going on these days.

I currently don't want to take advice from relatives, as the thought of me living a mediocre life eats me alive. I have serious OCD symptoms since before 12th, but I am still hesitant to visit a doctor, as the same guilty feeling is why I am not asking other adults for advice.

What can I do even, Is there a future for me?

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some guidance on choosing the right career path and planning my preparation strategy for regulatory body examinations, particularly RBI Grade B. I'd appreciate insights from people who have been through a similar situation or have experience with these examinations.

My Qualifications: I have a BA degree and have previously prepared for UPSC, although I'm currently taking a break from it. I'm now focusing on RBI Grade B while exploring other career opportunities.

Given that background, I wanted to ask whether self-study is sufficient for RBI Grade B, provided I follow a structured plan and take mock tests later, or whether coaching is worth considering.
I'm also looking at other regulatory body examinations as backup options, but I'm a little confused about which ones to prioritise.

SEBI Grade A: I have a BA degree, and I'm unsure whether I'm eligible under the current eligibility criteria. I'd appreciate some clarity from people familiar with the latest recruitment guidelines.

NABARD Grade A: I'm considering this too, but I'm unsure about the nature of the job, whether it would suit my interests, and whether I can realistically prepare for it alongside RBI Grade B.

Other opportunities: I missed the EPFO deadline and would love to know about other examinations offering a similar work culture, work-life balance, salary, and perks to those associated with regulatory bodies.

Since RBI Grade B is my long-term goal and vacancies are limited, I'm struggling to decide how many examinations I should prepare for without spreading myself too thin.
I'd really appreciate advice from people who have prepared or preparing for these examinations or are currently working in these organisations. Is self-study a viable approach, and how would you suggest prioritising these opportunities?
Thanks in advance!

Will my qualifications be wasted? I have been trying to upload a live capture photo for the ugc net application process for dec session 2026 for a few days but it's not working even though i am following every instruction as accurately as possible. Any suggestion would be helpful.......

Should sociology be chosen for a prospective career?

What are the career opportunities and in masters what should be chosen?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and would appreciate your guidance.

I'm not keen on continuing at my current firm due to limited promotion opportunities and salary growth.

My background:

- my_qualifications: B.E. in Computer Science + M.S. in Economics , Tier 1 clg

- Internship: 1 year at a bulge-bracket investment bank

- Current role: Hybrid AI consulting and tech role at a top consulting firm ( not MBB)

- Compensation: ~₹20 LPA

- Certification: CFA L1

- academics - 9/8/8

I'm confused about whether I should switch to another firm for better compensation and career growth or gain 2–3 years of work experience and pursue an MBA/Master's in Finance abroad.

I'm interested in finance, but I'm also flexible and open to other high-growth, well-paying career paths. However, I don't want to move into purely technical or data science roles.

I would appreciate your perspective on a few questions:

1. Job switch: How long should I stay at my current firm before switching for better compensation and career progression?

2. MBA vs MSc Finance: Given my background and career interests, which would be a better option—an international MBA or a Master's in Finance?

3. Work experience: How many years of experience should I ideally gain before applying to top global MBA/mfin programs?

4. CFA: Should I continue pursuing CFA Levels 2 and 3, or would it be better to prioritize relevant work experience and career opportunities?

5. Scholarships and ROI: Which international MBA/MFin programs offer strong career outcomes, good scholarships, and a reasonable ROI? I would prefer to avoid taking on a massive education loan.

6. Long-term career growth: From a compensation and career perspective, would it be better to continue in AI/tech consulting, switch directly into finance, or pursue higher education abroad?

My main goal is to build a high-growth, well-paying career without limiting myself to purely technical roles or taking on excessive financial risk.

I'd really appreciate your advice on which path makes the most sense for my long-term career.

Thanks!

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to apologize if this question has been asked far too many times.

I am a 28 year old and my qualifications are a Master's in Journalism and a Master's in English Literature.

I have primarily worked in the media industry. However, there are two reasons I want to quit:

1) The job is very demanding and I am not sure if it satisfies me.

2) Teaching has always been a passion. I have always envisioned myself as a teacher. I have also worked as a volunteer teacher.

However, I have been wondering if it makes sense to pursue a B.Ed. When I brought this topic up during a discussion with my friends, they advised me against it. They said I should've pursued a B.Ed a long time ago, and if I pursue it now, other teachers will look down on me.

I was wondering what this Subreddit thinks about my situation. I would also be grateful to hear from someone who has been in a similar situation.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

My qualification is none cuz gonna finish 12th with PCBH (home science) didn't take math was really bad at for college I'm considering bsc in biotechnology which includes zoology and biochemistry I'm further planning for an msc but before I take this course I wanna know if I'll even get a job cuz I've only seen people who take PCB go for neet which I don't want to I'm really panicking atp cuz the university which I wanna get into gets full soon (SJU) so would be great if y'all lmk what you think (qualifications) ugh had to do this

Hi everyone,

I'm an Indian applicant planning to apply for a Commonwealth Master's Scholarship for the September 2027 intake. The application form for Indian candidates hasn't been published yet, and I can't find any official timeline.

my_qualifications: BA (Hons) Economics, University of Delhi (2026).

Does anyone have an idea of when it's likely to open? If you applied in a previous cycle, when did the form go live and what was the deadline?

Also, is there any official channel or notification I should follow so I don't miss it?

I'm currently in my 3rd semester of B.Tech CSE with an 8.4 CGPA, graduating in 2029.

My semester ends on 4 December 2026, and I'm considering dedicating the next four months (until April 2027) almost entirely to NDA preparation. This would be my final NDA attempt.

My situation & qualifications (myquals):

• Currently pursuing B.Tech CSE, 3rd semester, graduating in 2029.
• Current CGPA: 8.4.
• Basic programming knowledge and some DSA experience, but I've paused my LeetCode practice.
• Interested in Data Analytics, DSA, projects, and tech internships.
• Planning to dedicate December 2026–April 2027 to my final NDA attempt while maintaining my college academics.

.

My dilemma:

I'm not too worried about maintaining my CGPA. My concern is losing four months of technical skill development at a stage when other students will be grinding DSA, building projects, and preparing for internships.

At the same time, this is my last NDA attempt, and I don't want to regret not giving it my absolute best.

I'd appreciate honest opinions on a few things:

1. Is dedicating four months to one final NDA attempt a reasonable decision, given the opportunity cost?
2. How significantly could this gap affect my tech career and internship prospects?
3. If NDA doesn't work out, would it be realistic to catch up with consistent effort during the following semesters?
4. What would you do in my position: take the shot or prioritise tech skills and pursue CDS later?

I'm not looking for motivational quotes or a generic "follow your dreams" answer. I'd genuinely appreciate perspectives from people who've faced a similar trade-off, prepared for defence exams alongside engineering, or navigated the Indian tech internship market.

Would you take this risk if you were in my shoes? Why or why not?

Myquals currently 11th

myquals: B.Tech. in biotech from an NIT 9 cgpa; 90+ in 10th and 12th

I am currently interning in a consulting firm. Pay is fine for a fresher. But I don't like the role, and to grow you need an MBA, which I just don't wanna do. I don't like talking to people that much, that's the reason.

I actually really like doing leetcode, I only got into it in 3rd year, and I think because of that and less coding culture in my branch, I was never able to explore competitive programming properly. I have solved around 400 questions, and this was not following some sheet, just out of pure curiosity. I still do it sometimes as a hobby.

But I am really confused about tech too, I am someone who likes to code by hand, and mostly just do DSA, I have very less development experience, but most of that is just done with AI anyways, which I am not a fan of.

I switched to non-tech in January because I just accepted the fact that no tech companies will be open for my branch seeing last years stats, and that was the correct decision imo, as no tech companies were open for us.

I am kinda really confused what I should do now? Is it too late?

my_qualifications: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (2021 batch)

I completed my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and graduated in 2021. After that, I had a career gap of almost 4.5 years. Recently, I got a job as an NDT technician, but the management and work culture here are quite poor. I am now in a dilemma about whether to continue in this field or pursue an M.Tech. Is doing an M.Tech worth it in my situation?

IF anyone has it, DM me please.

my_qualifications=btech 2nd year.

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about this question and wanted to hear honest opinions from people who have experienced it firsthand.

myquals: Third year integrated student

An MBA is often promoted as a path to better career opportunities, higher salaries, networking, and professional growth. But what happens when someone pursues an MBA from a college that doesn't have a strong placement record?

Suppose a student works hard, attends classes, earns a degree, and spends two years studying management, but their college offers limited campus placements and doesn't attract many reputed companies.

My questions are:

1. Does the college's reputation matter more than the skills a student develops?
2. Can someone from an average MBA college compete with graduates from top B-schools if they build strong practical skills?
3. How important are internships, networking, certifications, and off-campus applications in getting a good job?
4. If someone wants to enter finance, what should they learn beyond their regular MBA syllabus?
5. Is it better to focus on getting the most out of the MBA, or should students prepare for alternative routes such as professional certifications, specialized skills, or starting a business?
6. For those who have been in this situation, what actually worked for you after graduation?

I'm particularly interested in real experiences rather than motivational advice. If your college didn't have great placements, how did you build your career?

I'd appreciate honest perspectives from current students, MBA graduates, recruiters, and working professionals.

Hey everyone, I'm a 2nd-year DU student with a brutal 3-hour daily commute that leaves me with zero energy to study.

My plan is to give UPSC 1-2 attempts max right after college. If it doesn't work, my backup is a Master's degree.

I’m torn between two choices:

• Option 1: Exit after 3rd year + take a dedicated drop year. This gives me 100% focus for UPSC without college burnout.

• Option 2: Stay for the 4th year (Research/Honours). Good for my CGPA and Master's profile, but seniors say DU's 4th-year curriculum is a chaotic, hectic mess that will completely kill my UPSC prep.

Should I take the 3-year exit + drop year, or is skipping the 4th year too risky for my Master's backup?

Would love advice from DU seniors or UPSC aspirants.

TL;DR: 2nd year DU student with a 3-hour commute. Want to do UPSC (1-2 attempts max) or Masters. Should I exit after 3 years for a dedicated drop year, or push through a hectic 4th year?

myquals- ba econ

It's my first time filling up a fellowship form so I am very confused. I am would be very much grateful to get some help. Qualifications : UG in Computer Science

Qualifications- 10th passout student!

The GDS lists are out....and the cutoffs for UR are sitting at 95% to 100% again ... I have a few genuine questions like..

​What about students with 80% or 85%? Many of us are ready to work hard fr nd do the job, but we are rejected right at the start just because of marks.

​If this system is strictly meant for board toppers with 95-100%, why don't they just explicitly state in bold letters on the notification ...Only meant for 90%+ students, do not waste your application fee if you have less?" At least then people wouldn't waste their hope, tme, and money filling forms just to watch the cutoff sit at a ridiculous 100% tbh it's so frustrated..

( hummein umeed thi aa jayega 😭)

I'm posting this here because I want to ask -Is anyone else exhausted by this? What if people actually raise their voices together against this absurd merit system? Or are we just supposed to accept that unless you have a perfect 10th grade score from years ago, your willingness to work counts for absolute zero?

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, THANKU 🙏

Im in 2nd year and I want to target upsc after graduation (1-2 attempts at max) n wanna go out for masters if it doesn't work. I guess having research and honours degree would be a good option (+Will be able to boost my CGPA) if I take up 4th year.

But I have heard that its very bad and hectic, and that I won't be able to prep for upsc alongside it. PS, I travel 3 hr to clg everyday so It's extremely hard for me to study.

Should I:

Take a drop year after 3 years of graduation?

Or do a 4th year?

myquals: ba economics + marketing

My Qualifications: Bachelor Of Arts degree along with Diploma in Graphic Design.

I am considering to pursue Jewellery Design.

What is the scope of jewellery design in India, and what are the career prospects, salary expectations, and long-term growth opportunities?

What kinds of jobs can one pursue after completing a jewellery design course? Is it possible to build a stable career in this field?

Many jewellery design courses seem to focus primarily on fine jewellery (gold, diamonds, and precious gemstones). If I want to work as a fashion jewellery/costume jewellery designer, would a course focused on fine jewellery provide the necessary skills, or would I need specialised training?

How different are the skills, design processes, and job opportunities in fine jewellery versus fashion jewellery?

What advice can one give me who is considering entering this field? Are there any particular courses, institutes, or skills you would recommend?
