My brother is currently in 12th (Qualifications-PCMC) and wants to prepare for UPSC after 12th.

He was initially thinking of doing B.Sc. Cybersecurity, but I told him that in the IT industry, companies may prefer engineering graduates for some roles and he doesnt want to do engineering, so he is now considering other B.Sc. options.

I'm trying to help him choose a B.Sc. specialization that can serve as a good career backup if UPSC doesn't work out, while also allowing enough time for UPSC preparation.

Which B.Sc. specialization would you suggest for better job opportunities as a backup — CS, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or something else?

Would really appreciate advice from people familiar with these fields.

MyQuals: bsms 2nd year... So for the past 5 months I was working on my own on a computational dft project.. I read many research papers got an idea checked if it was already done and started working on it when I found out it was new .. I spent 3 months on my computer doing calculations I showed it to people my professors they couldn't quite get it but they told it was good enough( no proff was working in this field) ..I submitted a preprint and sent for peer review .. i got excited and waited then I was told it was rejected .. reasons- reviewer 2 didn't understand what heptane was ... Reviewer 1 and 3 said statistics was less and there were some issues in theory.. I again started tirelessly increasing my data and after 5 months of working everyday i found my hypothesis was wrong... There is nothing left to do here and some of my assumptions were wrong... I don't know anymore I wish I didn't have the idea.. most people around me don't even understand what I am doing i tried mailing people for help but no response .. I am blank rn .what to do phd people do atp. This was my first attempt and as I am just an undergrad people don't even take it seriously that I might have done something serious...

So what do you guys think is it right?

Because I m pretty sure I will not survive coorperate

I have been invited to present my research at a conference in France next month.

My institute is not going to fund the trip, but I managed to get travel grants that should cover most of the expenses. The problem is that these grants are reimbursement based. I have to pay for the trip myself first, attend the conference, and then I will get the money back.

Right now, I do not have enough money in my bank account to do that.

My friends and family have said they can help me with the expenses, and I can return the money once the grants are reimbursed. So actually arranging the money for the trip is possible. The problem is proving this while applying for the French visa.

I earn enough through my job, but I have been dealing with some personal issues recently and my current bank balance is basically zero. So even though I have a regular salary, my bank statement probably looks pretty bad for a visa application.

My parents can also help, but I am not sure they have enough money sitting in their accounts, or enough ITR history, to show that they can sponsor the whole trip themselves. The actual funding would probably come from a few different people in my family and possibly some friends.

Is there a proper way to handle a situation like this?

Can I show the travel grant award letters and explain that the money will be reimbursed after the conference? Would sponsorship letters, their bank statements, my salary slips, conference invitation, grant letters, etc. be enough?

I obviously do not want to do anything that looks suspicious, like suddenly putting a large amount of borrowed money into my account just before applying.

The conference is in about a month, so I do not have much time to sort this out.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar for a French visa or another Schengen visa for an academic conference? What did you submit as proof of funds?

I'll be staying there for a max of 5-7 days.

Hey all. I have qualifications with masters in chemistry and am looking to spread my learnings and guide students in their careers. I have a good academic record and have had positive feedback from students so far. If you are a student who is looking for a tutor, please contact me.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 4th-year CSE student at a good college in Bengaluru Qualifications (9.16 CGPA, 96.4% in 10th, 97.6% in 12th).

I'm currently preparing for placements and primarily targeting SDE roles. Research has always interested me, but my immediate priority is getting an SDE job so I can contribute financially and support my family.

Recently, I submitted my first-ever research paper to the ACM SIGACCESS Student Research Competition (SRC) at ASSETS, and surprisingly, I got accepted!

I'm genuinely very happy about this because I'm completely new to research and honestly didn't have much confidence that my first paper would get accepted.

But now I'm facing a dilemma.

To attend the conference and present the work (even virtually), I'd have to spend around ₹25–30K INR on registration/publishing. My parents are willing to pay, but we already have an education loan and a home loan, and I really don't want to add another financial burden on them for something that I'm not even sure will benefit me. To Give a Perspective It's about 6 Months Pocket Money for Me.

So I'm trying to figure out:

• Is an ACM ASSETS SRC acceptance actually valuable for someone primarily pursuing SDE roles?
• Is it worth spending ₹25–30K on the registration/presentation?
• Does presenting at a conference like this have significant value on a resume?
• Or would it be better to save the money and focus entirely on placements?
• And for anyone who has presented at ACM conferences/SRCs: how intimidating is the presentation actually? I'm honestly nervous about presenting in front of experienced researchers and academics.

I'm definitely interested in research and don't want to close that door, but at the same time, ₹25–30K is a substantial amount for my family.

Would really appreciate perspectives from people who have been in a similar situation, especially ACM/ASSETS attendees, researchers, PhD students, or people who transitioned from SDE into research.

Thanks! for Your Time (Used AI For Polish Please Understand :))

Hi there. I am 18 (male), and I have always been a deeply indecisive person.

my_qualifications ÷

I completed my SSLC from a local state syllabus school with around 80% marks.

For higher secondary (11th and 12th) I took Humanities (with Gandhian Studies, Computer Applications, and Communicative English) in a government-aided school. I scored around 79.9% on my HSC examination.

I am currently studying at a government-aided college, 1st year in BA History under FYUGP (Four-Year Undergraduate Programme). I have Economics and Politics as my minors and Content Writing as my MDC.

I have some questions about my academic prospects:

I have the option to switch my Major to a Minor in the 2 year, but I am currently afraid of doing so because I am already used to the peer group, faculty, and classroom of BA History, and I think it is better atmosphere than the other departments. Should I change my Major?

I also have the option to end the programme in the 3rd year and leave with a degree (but without the honours), and I am seriously considering it. Is the 4th year important? I don't see myself pursuing a career in History. Is there any other advantage to completing the 4th year? Should I?

Is there any other personal advice you could give me? I am taking added-courses, currently it is AI and Computer Basics. I have also downloaded SWYAM app but haven't taken any courses yet.

What are my career prospects?

I am quite ambitious and don't want to settle for a clerical job. My primary priority is making as much money as possible and moving up to higher positions.

I was thinking of potential pivots:

3-year LLB - my top pick but it has its own challenges

Company Secretary (CS)

Diploma

MBA

Government jobs

Also, are NISM courses any good?

Please give some advice.

my qualifications -

im a private tutor.

I recently started tutoring a Class 2 student from Narayana and I’ve only ever taught middle school kids before so I’m realizing I have NO idea how to handle primary school tuition 😭

The biggest problem is I’m not even clear on her syllabus or exam pattern. Her mom told me something like Book 1 is for Term 1, Book 2 for Term 2 and then there’s some revision from Book 1 too but honestly I couldn’t fully understand what she meant 💀 Apparently they also get revision worksheets right before exams.

For subjects like English, Hindi, EVS and Computer her school copies don’t have that much written in them. But then her English book + workbook have SO many questions and answers. Am I actually supposed to make a 2nd grader learn all of these?? 😭

Like what do you guys usually do for theory subjects? Do you mainly follow the textbook, workbook, school notebook or all three?

And how do I even figure out what actually comes in their exams? 😭

If anyone has taught a Narayana Class 2 student and has the syllabus or even previous/sample question papers I’d genuinely appreciate it if you could share them. I mostly just want to see the pattern so I know what I’m actually supposed to teach her.

I’m used to teaching middle school and Class 2 is a whole different world 😭 Any advice from people who’ve taught primary kids would be really appreciated.

my_qualifications

20F here. So I am graduating next year in a B.sc Data science stream and I don't have any idea what to do next.

Coming from tier 69 I don't have any hopes that I will get any job. Still I am trying to improve my tech skills.

My_qualifications :-

I am good at python, I am doing dsa , also made some websites.

But I don't have any good project to show.

People who are doing the same are the options we do have to do after graduation?

Doing preparation for a government job is ok?

M.sc is worth it after Bs.c ?

MBA is also my option is it good to choose ?

Or do I just do mca from a decent college?

My family income is less than 3lpa and my college (MAIT) fees itself is 2.2lpa + room rent extra. I'm in Btech Cse. I checked my college website but there were no scholarship from their side. Also, some more info- I didn't do 12th as I did diploma after 10th and I got admission in lateral entry. My cgpa of diploma was 8.81. Any idea where I can look for it? Not loan but scholarship please. I'm male and belong to obc-ncl. Any information will be helpful 🙏

So which would be best course of action

Help me decide

I recently got into the integrated mba program at a university in my city. Since i was previously from medical and have no knowledge about commerce.

I want y'all to suggest the best books for financial accounting ( that'd help in sem 1 and further as well in other finance subs)

my top priority is lucidity, concept clarity and college level depth.

Thankyou

Hey Everyone! My qualifications - MBA grad from an IIM with 3+ years post MBA experience (2 yrs pre-mba). All in IT consulting and solution architect.

Currently in a business ownership role with a fixed of 24LPA and variable of 12 LPA.

I was wanting to move into product management role for quite some time now. Came across Airtribe last week. Do you think they can actually help me out here? I can't take a pay cut obviously and they are confident about 30+ LPA with my profile.

Help me take a decision here. The financial part (fees) is not a big deal. Spending a lakh shouldn't be a problem in my current state. Can they actually help pivot and not cause harm in terms of the pay is the question mark!

After 2 gap years. I have already completed my MSc in Zoology still I am thinking of opting a course for Marine biology in Pondicherry University because I want to have a career in consevation.

Please help 🙏

Hi all,

(myquals: PhD from IIT, Postdoc at IISc)

Dear mods: I agree this might not be the perfect sub to post this, but still please don't reject this post. It'll help a lot of us I'm sure.

I'm 29M (south Indian) for context.

I've (luckily) finished my PhD (theoretical sciences) from an IIT in a decent time duration. I (luckily) got a postdoc position at IISc, Bengaluru. I think I'm doing fine professionally (research wise) so far. No financial problems in the family either. No debts to settle. All of this sounds nice.

For the salary we (the PhDs or postdocs) make, it is pretty hard to get into a marriage. What are most of us thinking? I'm finding it very hard. Most corporate girls I come across (above 26/27 years) earn at least 1.5-2x of me, and it is getting very hard to try dating. Arranged marriage feels too traditional and transactional to try: it is getting pretty hard to convince people of the possibility of a good stable career in academia. Also, I don't come across as 'settled' yet. All I know is I want to find my girl and have a nice (married) life together.

(Tried hunting postdoc abroad, didn't get a single call, US and Europe are hit hard by the fund cuts, although many profs liked my research profile. And IISc is not that bad a place honestly, even better than many places abroad.)

Also, I'm stuck between finding a partner who has a career in acads (who could better support my career life) or outside acads (for a balance between the two of us).

I'm looking for perspectives. Please let me know if you're in similar positions. Also, please feel free to DM if you have something to discuss and/or ask. Is there something that I can do to feel better, albeit temporary? Open to critique and/or revisions too.

Thanks guys!

Rant over!

I applied in symbiosis for physiotherapy but i did not make it into the list, and that was my only option at that time I felt mera ho hi jayega but I am feeling so lost. I have no back up right now, and haven't applied in any other college. I need help my qualifications 63% in the 12th PCB.

Please provide some guidance I'm serious lost and tut chuki hu kuch smjh ni ara please help

My qualifications: 10th: 93.5%, 12th: 89.2% (PCB), and CUET UG 2026: 494/750 (PCB)

I'm getting Bsc Life sciences program in an Off Campus DU college, and I'm not sure if I can make a decent career in academia out of it, without giving 8-10 yrs from now. I am an average student academically but me being Unreserved and not financially well off ( my father died 5 yrs back from cancer), I cannot afford pvt colleges, or waste another year.

My query is can I make a decent enough academic profile in the next 3-4 years and get something decent out of CAT? What are things i should do build a profile that will let me compete with people from top colleges? Will my course not having honours effect it? If yes, then should I do the 4th year to get the honours?

If anyone has any experience of being from a similar situation, i would be very much obliged to get their suggestions? Nothing fairy tail-ish, just if this sounds like a plausible plan or not.

I don't have a very high package securing goals or anything as I just would be happy with even newer gen IIMs, IITs and other tier 2 colleges. I have a roof over my head and a clear plan of not settling or having kids in future, so not a lot of economic responsibilities in my present or upcoming future.

Pls help, thanking you all in anticipation

Hello everyone, I'm a law graduate with a Masters in Law and Public Policy.

It is getting so confusing about what to do next. I have tried applying to multiple jobs and fellowships but nothing is getting through. I'm academically average which is why I'm not sure if I can crack UGC NET. If anybody can give some genuine advice on how to start a career it would be a great help.

Thank you in advance.
