Anyone who is reading this i really need your guidance. I prepared for JEE for 3 years with the dream of getting into an IIT/NIT. Last year I scored 96.59 percentile but took a drop for IIT. This year I got 92.31 percentile, and now I'm confused about my future.
My family wants me to do B.Sc. along with government exam preparation, but I want to pursue B.Tech in CSE from a college I can get through my JEE score. At the same time, I'm scared because of AI and the layoffs happening in tech companies.
I'm confused between these options:
• B.Sc. + Government exam preparation
• B.Tech in CSE
• One more drop for NIT
I also lost both of my parents 8 years ago, so I don't really have anyone to guide me. That's why I'm asking for your honest advice.
One last question: Does age matter in campus placements? I'm 20 years old, and I'm worried whether my age or drop years will affect my opportunities.
Please guide me. It would mean a lot.
Thank you.
