Hello Sir, I have a gap year between my 10th and 11th class due to some health issues , means I passed 10th in 2020 and 12th in 2023, WILL IT CREATE ANY PROBLEM IN MY CAREER, PLACEMENTS AND LIFE?.....Currently I am BTech CSE student at NIT Surathkal

Ans: The answer is NO because you had a good reason to take a break from studying. You will have to show proof, though, that you really did have health problems in 2020-21. NIT-Suratkal is one of the best NITs, and you got into it in CSE too. Don't worry. Keep your CGPA high until last year. Involve in co/extra-curricular activities. Improve your Soft Skills too. Keep upgrading your skills from NPTEL, Internshala, and other resources, or do what your institute's CS departments tell you to do till your 4th year. Get ready for Campus Recruitment well. You'll get through this for sure. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hi AYUSH,

Yes, when applying for a job, they may inquire about your health. Sometimes they may accept your application, but other times they may not. This largely depends on the type of condition you have. Asthma and jaundice generally do not impact your studies.

For jaundice, recovery may take about 15 to 20 days, while asthma is a lifelong condition. The important thing is to take your medication consistently and without any gaps. Therefore, having asthma or jaundice shouldn't be a dealbreaker for your application.

Sometimes, revealing the truth about your condition, rather than fabricating reasons, can improve your chances of getting hired.

Always avoid fraudulent activities, as they can lead to lost job opportunities and damage your trustworthiness.

So, be honest.

BEST WISHES.
