Sir I m doing my graduation in computer science engineering, now I found it very difficult choice to takle and I had eye related issues. I wanted to switch it. So there will be three years gap after 12th. Would it be right decision or not?
Ans: Deeksha, A 3-year gap after 12th due to health issues or academic realignment is manageable if framed strategically. While some companies (e.g., TCS) enforce a 2-year gap limit, others prioritize skills and transparency. Highlight your eye-related challenges as a valid reason for switching fields, emphasizing proactive steps like certifications (Python, data science) or internships to stay relevant. Opt for careers with lower screen dependency, such as project management, technical writing, or optometry (if feasible with eye conditions), leveraging institutions like Nandadeep School of Optometry or Amrita Coimbatore for specialized training. Affordable options like SASTRA University (BCA/MCA) or GLA University (B.Tech lateral entry) offer placements (~75–85%) with moderate fees. Use the gap to upskill via platforms like Coursera/edX and document health management as resilience. Prioritize colleges with NAAC/NBA accreditation and explore scholarships to mitigate financial strain. While core tech roles may pose challenges, sectors like healthcare tech, education, or government jobs (via SSC/UPSC) are viable alternatives. Balance honesty about your gap with evidence of growth to transform perceived weaknesses into strengths during placements. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!
