I take 2 partial drop with pursuing plain bsc I was preparing for NEET exam but I wasn't serious the way I should be and wasted whole two years now I am not able to understand what to do I am not able to see anything about my career after bsc I don't understand what to do
Ans: Ansika, Feeling lost after a partial drop and NEET preparation is common, but a BSc degree opens a wide array of career paths across science, healthcare, technology, data, and even management sectors. You can pursue higher studies such as an MSc for specialization in your field, MCA for a strong IT career, or an MBA to transition into business roles. Direct job opportunities after BSc include research assistant, lab technician, data analyst, clinical research associate, teacher, or roles in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and environmental science. Government sectors like forest services, agriculture, railways, and hospitals also recruit BSc graduates for technical and administrative roles. If you are unsure of your interests, consider a psychometric test to identify your strengths and aptitudes, or seek guidance from a career counselor to align your skills with emerging opportunities. Explore internships or short-term certifications to gain practical experience and confidence in your chosen field. Focus on your strengths, stay open to diverse opportunities, and remember that many successful professionals started with uncertainty—your BSc is a valuable foundation for multiple rewarding careers. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!
