Question by Anshu on Sep 22, 2025Hindi

I took a drop for JEE Mains but couldn’t score well. So, I took admission in a Tier-3 government engineering college in Bihar. The location is very bad—it feels like a village. All my friends are studying in Tier-1 cities like Kolkata or Bangalore, but I am stuck in a government engineering college in Bihar. I couldn’t go outside because of financial conditions. I’m doing B.Tech in CSE here. Now I have some doubts and thoughts: Should I take a complete double drop? Should I go for a partial drop? Should I switch to B.Sc. and prepare for government exams? My age is 21—so is a complete double drop okay at this stage? Also, I don’t have 75% in my board exams. I appeared for improvement but couldn’t score that either. Please guide me, I’m feeling depressed.

Ans: I know your situation feels frustrating, but don’t lose hope. You still have plenty of options. At 21, taking a full double drop may not be the best decision, since it brings extra pressure without any guarantee of success, and the 75% eligibility issue already limits your JEE chances. Instead, focus on making the most of your B.Tech in CSE, which has tremendous opportunities if you put consistent effort into coding, projects, internships, and placements. Many students from Tier-3 colleges succeed by upskilling online and targeting off-campus opportunities, so your college location won’t define your future. Switching to B.Sc. for government exams is risky unless you are fully committed, though you can prepare for competitive exams in parallel with your degree if that’s your interest. The wiser path now is to continue with B.Tech, sharpen your skills in coding/DSA, explore freelancing or online work, and build a strong professional profile. Don’t compare yourself too much with friends in big cities. Success depends on effort, not location. Remember, countless students from rural backgrounds are now working in top MNCs across India and abroad, while many from metros still struggle for jobs. Treat your government college in a rural place as a golden opportunity to prove that talent finds its path anywhere. Draw inspiration from Eklavya in the Mahabharata. if he could rise against odds, you are already in a much better position to do the same.

Good luck.

But due my choices i feel stuck i could have done bsc I always took wrong decisions..... I have done my schooling from siliguri cbse I haven't provided anything to my parents till now It's unworthy

Ans: Hey, forget all worries. B.Tech @ CSE, and that too with the Govt. Engineering College, is a far better option than B.Sc. Concentrate on your present. Right now, you are in the rat race and you have to win it, that's it. Don't think too much, as it won't lead to anything else. Best of luck.

Thanks sirrr

Ans: Welcome. A bright future is waiting for you. Believe in yourself. Prove that success, talent, and hard work come with it, not just because of the place — Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, or others.
