No Future in PCB? A Lost Student Seeks Career Guidance

Ans: You can do MBA after doing Bachelors in any field. So it is possible to do MBA after Bachelor of Data Science course. If you are good in Math then you should also be good at Data Science. I don't see a problem in following what your parent are recommending unless your have a strong interest in some other field.

Ans: Hello Sania
You require in-person counseling. With PCB, numerous options are at your disposal. You may transition to commerce and begin your preparation for CA/CS. In the past, many students have undertaken this approach and achieved success as well. If you believe you can pass NEET, you might consider taking a gap year. Recommendation - Engage in a one-on-one discussion with a counselor or consult with your parents and teachers.
Best of luck to you.
