Dear Kritika, you are not alone in this dilemma. most students your age do not really know what they want. They take up courses recommended by their parents, freinds, teachers etc or go by what is the best and popular career choice. What you can do is list out what you like - do you like science, arts, fine arts like drawing/ painting, maybe photography? Or do you like designing, travel, writing? you want to become a teacher, pilot, go into the defence forces, work in banking, be a scientist, engineer, doctor, civil servant - see so many choices. First list out areas which you like best and then check out options in those. A career is for a lifetime so it should be thought out carefully because you should like what you are doing since you will doing that for a long time. So there is no harm in taking a bit of time to consider. Once you decide the areas, write back to us and we shall explore all the options that are available to you. You can then check them out, choose and get going.

Well mam I love travelling dancing.
I am courageous enough to go in the army.
I have good managerial skills.
I have want to serve people go out for civil services.
This the three fourth of me...
But the one Fourth of me is what my dream is, it is not something unattainable but it's a very complicated.
And that one Fourth is my passion.
That I just cannot disclose for people will mock at me.

Dear Kritika, nothing is impossible or unattainable unless you make it so. If you give people too much of such importance, they will rule every choice of yours. However that will require a lot of courage and you are just so young not to be affected. Now let us see some of your choices - Dancing is an art full of grace. So you could pursue a course in dancing if you like to make that a career but that also requires a lot of dedication, constant practice. there are so many courses. How about enrolling in one short term course and see what it feels like? You could always choose a bit later. Army - Thats great. They are looking for people you know. One that suits you can be this - http://joinindianarmy.nic.in/alpha/graduate-upsc-women.htm. However for this you require graduation. So first you will have to complete that. I see that you are a commerce student so commerce has plenty of opportunities. You could try and do a management course after graduation, do a cost accountancy course.

You could be a chartered accountant or a company secretary. You could even prepare for civil services starting now but all of this requires you to take the decision. I can just guide or point out. It is you who needs to decide and work towards that. I was checking out that you are even interested in managerial position. Well for that, you will need to complete your graduation, take up a management course. Now MBAs also come in all kinds - the regular kind (finance, marketing rtc) and then there are media courses too with MBA in communication, PG diplomas journalism, advertising, radio, TV etc. You could also check out hotel management, there is tourism management. Again so many choices. Now again you choose and we plan further:)

Hi!

It's really brave of you to accept what u have gone through rather than just joining some course that doesn't attract u ! .....For a career u really need to find your interests , Ur strengths and weekness ...if you are really good in academics then medical is still a great option for u now that upper limit of age on NEET is scraped ... advantages of a competitive exam is that it keeps u engaged with constant pressure that u wud often forget most stuff and just commit ....there are several other options too ....if anything interests u keep Ur mind fixed on it n work ...

ALL THE BEST!
