Which college to choose after school?

What exactly forms the basis of us choosing what to do after we are done with our Class 12^th boards? Is it wholly marks? Or is it passion? Or is it the persona we carry that is suitable for a particular field? In today’s time, as a student,you’re judged on the basis of your marks. What about extra-curricular activities? Why aren’t they given equal importance as studies? A girl interested in music is told by her parents to concentrate only on studies, a boy having his interest in cricket is denied of coaching so as to concentrate on studies. Scored less than 80% In your 12^th? And you’re shunned. The added pressure of scoring well and getting wished in the society only worsens the pressure. Does the world, just drops off if someone is unable to score 90% or let’s say 80%? What exactly is the life after?

Career options aren’t just confined to those who are brainy. Fields such as photography, fashion, sports, hospitality all recruit on the basis of personality or passion. There are many top colleges in India that offer multiple career options to students to choose from. It is the desire of performing that takes the credits here. If you haven’t scored well, don’t let that get on to you so much that you lose the zest and enthusiasm to perform anything further in life, life just doesn’t stop here, it has only begun..

Performing well in the chosen field is all that matters in life. Working hard and with passion for what we do. Thinking of any field as pressure and with performing with strain will only make it even more difficult for us. Fields that haven’t been explored should be considered. So many offbeat courses are provided by many institutions. Some of the common, offbeat courses include Photography, Fashion, HR, Acting, Journalism, Event management, Aviation, Dancing, and Entrepreneurship. 

There is no dearth of options available. For instance, IIT Delhi, one of the premier educational institute in India, offers a plethora of courses to choose from. It is the zeal of performance that takes us forward in life. Only three things are required for pursuing them

v  Passion & Interest

v  Skill

v  Confidence

Not in the knowledge of many, but there are universities and colleges that take up on the basis of entrance examinations and your then your rank as per the result. Little R&D is all that it takes, after all it is about our own future's sake. Many known celebrities are school dropouts, dyslexic or not even graduates. Engineering, doctorate, law is what all our doing. One shouldn’t always be in the crowd. Till 12^th we are taught subjects not of our choice. But after 12^th it is the time to choose what we aspire to be, what we really want to study, what excites us, what catches our eye and mind. It is the time to make the correct choice, our whole career depends on this choice. One must not choose just because they are told so or wanted to, it is us who has to pursue. Well, there’s and always will be some room for discussion with parents.
