Question by Leena on Mar 20, 2025Hindi

Hi! Just now i got my semester 1 result for Msc. In botany. I got an F in one subject of theory but B+ in practical. I think i need to retake it for theory. Also in all other subjects i scored an average. I asked earlier facing difficulty in my msc because im not interested in this subject and to withdraw but I got ur answer to keep doing complete it by all means then opt for anything else. So i did continue. What should i do now? I'm losing all hope seeing i failed for first time in my life in a subject. I'm a bright student but idk how it happpened. I can't help but cry. Please help me. I just feel to drop out. What should I do?

Ans: Welcome back.
Thanks for listening to my advice. But you failed. As you said earlier, you don't have any interest in it, but you have decided to go for M.Sc. Hence I suggest that you first complete it by any means. If all you do not interest in it, it would be better to study and complete your PG in any way. But if are frustrated with the subject and do not have an interest in it then you have to walk on your other liking path. You failed 1st time because you are thinking it negatively every time. If you are a bright student, then how you failed is a surprise for me also. When a candidate enters in a PG mode, then he is well acquainted with the examination system, papers, and techniques of scoring minimum marks required for passing. There are many cases where a candidate is doing either UG or PG only to get the degree certificate even though he/she does not have any interest in it. Your main goal is to prepare for UPSC or in Geography as you said earlier. But you did not mention about your preparation in the follow-up. If you feel like dropping out, then that will be your sole decision. But again the question, what next?
Before taking a dropout decision, here are some points especially for you: M.Sc. Botany candidates can work as botanists, ecologists, environmental consultants, or agricultural scientists in government and private sectors. Teaching positions in schools and colleges, research roles in botanical institutes, and jobs in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural companies. Additionally, opportunities in forestry, horticulture, and plant breeding offer stable career paths. Competitive exams like NET, SET, and UPSC open doors to government jobs.
Create the interest and get the success the only path in front of you. Thanks
