I completed my 22 years in august and completed 12th last year (2024) . Now i will join college for btech in2025. My question is that i am getting bothered by the thought of being too old for my education. I mean at this age i should have to completed my graduation but am here join the college at this age so this thing make me feel too much stressed . And one thing i want to clear u that this happened because my parents send me school lately

Ans: First thing you are no way responsible. Next thing is that the students who are young and pursuing their studies in correct time, many of them will die by 50, whereas you may survive upto 90-95. At the starting you lost 04 years. In place of 18, it is completed at 22. But at the end you may get 20+ extra than your batchmates. So no worries. Just start. Better late than never. Love and best wishes. Just follow me. Best of luck. I am always there for you. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor..............................:)

Good morning sir....i am currently studying btech computer science engineering in vadodara , gujarat....i am in first year...my concern is my age as i have a big career gap after doing my 12th science.... currently i am 28 years old....pls suggest me...that , whether the btech cse is good to continue for me...or whether there are other options considering my age.....because ....i will be completing my btech cse when i will be 32 years old....as it is a 4 years program

Ans: Don't be disheartened by the fact that you started late. Take the time to reflect on what you did, learnt, read in the last 10 years. Having taken the admission, complete the program because you will have additional maturity of years to your degree to set yourself apart.

Ans: Hello Sai, Good to learn about your motivation to puruse a career in software after obtaining a BTech degree. I hope you have brushed up your school leaving level mathematics. For me to get you speciific details do sahre the name of the city where you are located. Many States will permit you to enrol for an engineering degree program as an exception even though you may not be eligible for a Joint Engineering Entrance Exam. Looking forward to hearing for you soon.
