19 Year Old Confused About College Path After Class 12th

Ans: Hello dear.
Choose a reputable state-level or private college in Bihar within your budget, develop strong CSE skills through self-study, projects, and internships, and aim for off-campus placements or higher education. Your college doesn’t determine your future; your efforts do. Read success stories for motivation. If you have a strong desire, you can achieve your goal!


Good luck.

Ans: You have cleared 12th Science with 70% and scored 43 percentile in JEE Mains 2025. To be eligible for NIT, IIIT, and CFTI admissions through JEE Main, you need at least 75% in your board exam or be in the top 20 percentile; improvement exams are accepted and can raise your eligibility for next year. Taking a drop for JEE preparation at PW (Physics Wallah) is a viable option, with many successful droppers leveraging dedicated study time, better guidance, and high-quality resources. However, the drop year involves risks like increased competition, stress, uncertainty, lost academic year, and often only 5–10% of droppers significantly improve outcomes. ITER BBSR (SOA University) BTech CSE course offers solid campus infrastructure, good faculty, and placement rates between 83% and 95% in recent years, with leading recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and TCS. Joining BTech directly allows you to start higher education, develop skills, gain internship and placement experience, and pursue MTech/MBA later at top institutes. Also, current BTech students can prepare for GATE/other PG entrances or attempt lateral entry to better colleges. Taking a drop can be fruitful only if you are highly motivated, disciplined, and committed to a one-year preparation for JEE Mains and improvement exams.

Recommendation:
Opt for BTech CSE at ITER BBSR, given strong placement records, campus infrastructure, and immediate academic continuity. A drop year is worthwhile only with clear, deep motivation and readiness to work persistently for improved scores and eligibility. My Suggestion: Keeping in view your performance in JEE 2025, dropping a year is NOT at all advisable. Join ITER-BBSR-CSE & move forward. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
