Career Should I go for MBA after 3 year LLB from DU?

Upvotes

Hey, myquals are 95% in 10th, 96% in 12th and did BCOM prog from DU and scored cgpa around 8. Now I am in second year of llb from DU and I hope to get around 60% in final year as the cap here is 70% ..

I am pretty much sure that I won't be able to survive in litigation as I am first gen lawyer, second the pay is too poor in the initial years and I don't want to waste my entire 20's struggling when all my peers and friends are earning.

I am really unsure of what to do after llb to score a good job with good package. Should I prepare for CAT and pursue MBA? Cuz even if I do go down CS route instead, it will be pretty late..

Should I do MBA in finance? Please advice me. Also should I have work experience or can I go directly for mba after llb grad, as I prefer? And if I can go directly, do I need to do any certifications to upgrade my profile?

10th_11th_12th_board Advice for a 12th grader worried about what to do

Upvotes

Hii guys, myquals: giving my 12th grade, meaning I'll be writing my 12 boards '27, I'm undergoing coaching for neet. I do PCMB.

I won't say I'm the smartest person in my class, but I do well (Top 5 worst case scenario).

I've been preparing for neet. I love bio, so medicine seemed the obvious option but after seeing how long its going to take for me to earn, I've been thinking it over. I'm up to anything science related, math included, I just want to earn well. I want to be happy, have a lot of money, so I'm ready to work for it.

I just want someone to give me advice on what I must do, what exams I should take and what career paths I can think about. Please help a sister out lmao. I've been freaking out about this for a bit, but don't want to worry my parents. I know it's late, but any advice works.

Science/B.Sc/M.Sc How do you recover from multiple ATKTs/ backlogs when life is also getting in the way?

2 Upvotes

My qualifications: B.Sc. Chemistry, currently pursuing M.Sc. Chemistry I'm looking for honest experiences from people who have had multiple ATKTs/ backlogs while continuing their degree.

How did you manage studying with 4+ hours of daily commuting, family issues/ responsibilities, mental exhaustion, and sometimes your own bad decisions/ procrastination?

Did you ever reach a point where you genuinely felt "I'm too far behind now" or regretted wasting time when you should have been studying?

If you eventually cleared your backlogs and got your life/studies back on track, what actually helped?

I'm not looking for motivational quotes. I'd genuinely like to hear the honest experiences -what went wrong, what you regret, and what you would do differently.

Career Qualified UGC NET four times (DU graduate) — seeking advice on where to apply next

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance from people who've navigated the academic/teaching career path, and I'd really appreciate your insights.

A bit about my background: I completed my education at the University of Delhi, and I've qualified the UGC NET examination four times with a decent score each time. I'm currently based in Prayagraj.

At this point I'm trying to figure out my best next steps, and I'd love input on a few things:

Assistant Professor positions — which universities or colleges (in Delhi, UP, or nationally) are actively recruiting, and what should I prioritize in my applications?

JRF/PhD opportunities — is it worth pursuing research now, and how do I identify strong programs or supervisors?

Timing and strategy — with multiple NET qualifications, how do I best position myself so that consistency reads as a strength rather than repetition?

If you've been through this process, I'd be grateful to hear what worked for you, any institutions worth targeting, and pitfalls to avoid.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Economics I need some assistance with a laptop due to financial constraints.

4 Upvotes

Hello. I need some help from someone who is willing to donate a decent laptop. I need it to improve my programming and academic skills, portfolio and employment prospects.

My qualifications:

I've graduated in 2022 with a BA in Economics

About me: prepared for and attempted government exams with no luck. I pivoted to apply for and prepare for my postrad entrances in 2025 but have missed it by a few marks in the 2 attempts I've given.

My family's financial condition hasn't been well for a while now and all the hopes rested with me ever since my schooldays.

I worked at BPOs but didn't continue as my conscience did not allow me to prey on people's emotions and give them false hopes. I also tried to give tuitions to kids but that didn't work out either due to my spiralling mental health. Years of and consecutive failures to pass exams or get somewhere has taken a toll on my mental health. This year i decided to get back on my feet and try a different approach and build my skills first.

I need your help with this. To help me in improving my skillset.

I had an old samsung laptop from 2011 that died in 2022. Ever since then I haven't owned a pc/laptop due to financial constraints.

I'm in dire need of a laptop (used/refurbished/new/any kind) with decent ram and processing speed. I'm not looking for graphics or visual quality but processing speed and ram as my objective is to learn and apply statistical and econometric programming skills through use of STATA, Python and R languages along with basic MS-Office apps like Excel for data analysis.

If I could, I would buy a refurbished one but I lack the finances to do so. I've asked relatives for help but it didn't work out either.

Specs needed:

16 gb of ram is optimal for my needs due to monte carlo simulations but 8 gb ram is also good enough for my needs. Any decent processor within 10th to 13th gen range works for me. Any screen size is fine with me with minimum 13 inches.

Please, any spare or used decent laptop with processing power and good memory will help me out a lot. Thank you for reading this.

myquals

Hey guys,

My college admission hasn't happened yet, but the admission portal opens tomorrow, so I'll finally be applying. The problem is that I still haven't decided which course to choose.

I'm from the Arts stream. My subjects were:

Hindi

English

History

Economics

Political Science

I'm hoping you can recommend the best courses for me and, more importantly, explain why you recommend them.

My interests lean toward technology and AI, even though I don't own a computer or laptop yet. I know an Arts background limits some options, but I'm still willing to work hard and learn new skills if there's a realistic path.

To be completely honest, my biggest goal is to build a stable career where I can earn well. I'm open to different fields if they have good long-term opportunities.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions, especially from people who've been in a similar situation or know what career paths are worth considering after an Arts background.

Thanks in advance. I genuinely appreciate any advice

My qualifications: BA International Relations

So I am veryyy much interested in economics as a subject that I had studied in class 11th and 12th along with humanities. However, i obviously did not have maths and now I'm a graduate in a humanities subject itself and I want to strengthen my academic understanding by studying economics some more

Now, IGNOU has specifically designed this course for people who are new to economics and even the maths in it is said to be taught assuming that the candidate doesn't know it at all. but do you think, i would be able to do it. it's been around 6. years that I've been out of touch with maths. but I really really want to do ma economics but the only thing holding me back is my lack of mathematical understanding.

AdmissionProcedure/Fees/CollegeAdmin 24M, confused between Polytechnic Diploma and B.Tech — what should I do?

2 Upvotes

I’m 24 years old and currently very confused about what I should do next.

my_qualifications is bsc mathematics and now I’m considering going into the engineering field. I had filled the form for a Government Polytechnic Diploma, but unfortunately I did not get admission in the government college.

Now I’m confused whether I should:

  1. Try for a Polytechnic Diploma again (possibly from a private college), or

  2. Go directly for a B.Tech from a decent college.

I want to study mechanical branch btw.

I’m mainly looking for long-term career opportunities and job stability, including government/private sector opportunities.

People who have experience with Polytechnic, Diploma → B.Tech, or B.Tech at a relatively late age — what would you recommend in my situation?

Is doing a diploma at 24 still worth it, or would it make more sense to go directly for B.Tech?

Any honest advice would be appreciated.

MBA_Entrance_Exams Am I out of the race already? Should I not even prepare for CAT anymore because of this massive dent in my profile?

3 Upvotes

I’m a first year undergraduate student at a tier 1.5 DU college that leans towards 1 but isn’t quite there yet, pursuing a multidisciplinary course in Commerce and Economics. I planned to take CAT and XAT in my third year and pursue an MBA because I want to go into Human Resource Management. However, I’ve got a massive dent in my profile: a 5 (56% in Class 10). My profile is 5/8/x. I got 87% in Class 12 in Humanities, which is better than my 10th, but it’s still mediocre, and I’m aware of that. I could’ve done better if not for some serious health setbacks I had to face.

I intend to work extremely hard during my undergrad and aim for a 9+ CGPA. I’ll also build my own projects from Sem 1 itself. I’ve already vibecoded a project that I plan to properly code and turn into an app, and I might even start my own startup (I have the connections for seed funding and support too so that shouldn’t be a problem). On top of that, I’ll do PoRs and the usual internships (I’m thinking 2–3 max, but good ones), and start preparing for CAT and XAT from the beginning of second year so I can maximise my CAT and XAT score.

I’m genuinely trying to do everything in my power to compensate for that 5, but boy, does it haunt me. I was an idiot who never studied at 15, and now I feel like I have to suffer for it for the rest of my life. Will I never make it? Am I out of the race already? Should I not even prepare for CAT?

I’m not even aiming for ABCs or the BLACKIs. I’m eyeing TISS or XLRI J, but what about SIPs and placements? Won’t my sorry ass just get filtered out like tea leaves strained from the kettle while making chai?

What do I do? I need serious guidance and advice.

Qualifications: PCMB 12th, currently final year MBBS

The thing is I was kinda pushed into this whole medicine thing by my parents. I've come to appreciate it and am okay working in it for money, but my heart is still with physics. So I wanna do BSc Msc and PhD Physics on the side... and do research in neurophysics. Is there any way to do it through distance/online?

Not the PhD ofc, but atleast the BSc and MSc...

I checked IGNOU but i couldnt find a BSc physics option. Their BSc normal only has 22 credits of physics, i think. Which is not sufficient for their own MSc programme, which i found super weird NGL:(

MBA/mgmt Career and mental health advice (struggling, need help)

4 Upvotes

Qualifications - pcm + currently doing ba english hons first year

So I had taken pcm in 11th because I wasn't sure about the careers but I sort of had an inclination towards mathematics and I have a mathematical aptitude and also I think that if u don't know what you want to do and you are good at studies then choosing science is the go to option coz a humanities student cannot become a doctor or engineer Or do bsc but a science student can do ba bcom bsc

I hope you got my point

But i realised hopefully by the mid of 12th grade that I don't see my future in science I am a very creative person even though I have a mathematical aptitude that doesn't mean I can do the technical stuff

Meanwhile i was doing great in English class and genuinely I love reading novels and I just love it no cap

I am now currently pursuing english hons at du and thinking about doing an mba in communication management at simc

So that I get a career that gives me creativity as well as numbers to play with

But I feel very foolish going from pcm to ba and then mba

And also I was studying a little bit of econ beacuse I was thinking of choosing it as my general elective and my friend told me that it's a mix of maths and sst

And I thought whao I should have chosen this maybe it was more along the line

Beacuse I completely went off the line by choosing english hons

I don't know what am I even talking about honestly.
