Question by Sidhartha on May 16, 2023Hindi

Career

My daughter has scored 85.6% in commerce stream in class 12th and is wanting to drop the year to pursue CLAT preparation. Is it a wise decision please and how can I otherwise ensure that in the event of she being unsucessful, she atleaset does not waste one year of college...Regards

Ans: First of all, one year of gap after high school, in the grand scheme of things does not matter at all. And in fact, it is the most fruitful time in adolescence. I would suggest you support her for CLAT so that she cracks the best college. In any case, if she does not get a high rank in CLAT, she can always come back to other top universities for commerce. In the mean time, I would strongly recommend that she upskills herself in accounting tools, reading and other co- curricular areas. These will help her crack interviews in the top universities in India and abroad.

Career

My Daughter is in 12th currently and has completed her 1st Jee attempt and has scored 78.82 she will be attending the 2nd attempt in April. I want her to do well in her CBSE boards and join a good college in Bangalore where we reside taking the subject of her choice. However she is bent upon taking a drop this year which we feel is not a good idea considering her 1st attempt scores. She says she is willing to join any college even after taking a drop and if she is not able to score well which I feel is wasting 1 years of her academics. Kindly advise or suggest what is right for her please.

Ans: Namaste
First of all I must appreciate your thought of not wasting 1 years through Gap/Drop. Its absolutely meaningless and even creates future bad consequences for abroad education or opportunity. We are not in a position to justify our gap. Anyhow you have mentioned her JEE 1st attempt result. It shows that either her study is moderate in PCM subjects or she can make her career in remaining 16 career clusters. If it was 95 and above in her 1st attempt, she could make more good in her 2nd JEE attempt.
It will be better if she thinks twice about her passion and abilities. It’s high time to think and take decision. She can take admission in other than IIT/NIT institutes. There are many good colleges in Banglore too.
Not every one become engineer. But everyone can see his/her inner strength, passion for something better required by world. We can work for betterment of the world, throgh what we have good amount with us. Please find that"Good One"
