Twelfth grade is one of the most crucial stage in any teenager's life. What you become or what you make of life depends, to a large extent, on how much you score for the final Board exam or the entrance for that matter. But mostly, children nowadays decide their future much before their senior secondary studies and they dedicate their youthful days to various entrance coaching institutes that have mottos "eat, study, repeat". And yet even after such gruesome trainings, not all who attempt the entrance exams are lucky enough to clear it. Now here are some suggestions on what you can do If you attempted an engineering entrance exam bu couldn't score as expected.
In this context, the first thing you need to understand is that just because you have a science background, engineering or medicine is not what you must do. The job that you take up should give you satisfaction and happiness. Follow your passion and not what others tell you to do. Only If you're sure that being an engineer is exactly what you want, need you read the rest this article. Otherwise there are countless other options that you could choose according to your aptitude.
Now presuming that engineering is indeed your genre and you really want nothing but this, don't loose heart If you don't manage to come out in flying colours in the entrance exam. Here are some of the things you can do-
1.REPEAT THE EXAM: Since the time of its inception, the Central Entrance Exam Board allows multiple attempts at the exam. Repeating the entrance, they call it. I would personally suggest you to join any good coaching institute when you repeat, because the one year you would want to be focused, kept apace on the right track and determined. Self-study might not give you enough momentum nor will you know how well your performance is compared to other repeaters. And when you repeat, then go for it with your heart and soul. Don't let any negatives deter you from reaching our goal. Work hard the second time so that success cannot escape from your gasp.
2.JOIN PRIVATE COLLEGES: If you do not wish to lose one year of your life corresponding to your friends, there are numerous private funded colleges that offer seats at not so high fee rates. However in most private colleges, there are more seats available than there are students willing to join, so before you join, try to get in touch with any acquaintances who'd studied there or is currently studying and a thorough enquiry should be made into the college's past placement statistics, which gives you a first hand idea about the quality of education provided. Searching and connecting with the alumni of the college will also help in deciding. If you have any relatives or friends working in prospectus companies that hire engineers, it could give you a hold onto being recruited to the same company when internship or job offers are at stake.
3.OTHER STATE ENTRANCES: The Entrance exams of other states offer a marginal quota for non-native students. For example, you can apply for the states of Maharashtra or Karnataka easily, though the syllabus for the former has been found to be harder than Kerala syllabus. However, Karnataka conducts an entrance exam called ComedK (for both Medical and Engineering degrees including Architecture). In ComedK, all you need to do is get your name enlisted on the rank-list( even If it is low). That assures a seat in one of Karnataka's colleges with affordable fees.
4.OTHER BRANCHES AND OPTIONS: Another suggestion I will make is that you should be aware of all the different streams or trades that are being offered by various colleges. Don't be blindfolded by the misconception that only the 3 basic branches of Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering are worthwhile. Newer trends have emerged in technology which has given rise to several less obvious branches that are slowly gaining popularity. Some such recent innovative branches are
5.NON-PROFESSIONAL DEGREES: Another way you can achieve the long term goal of being an engineer is by doing a Bachelors in your suitable fields like Software design, Computer science, Biotechnology or even Physics and later applying for a Masters using GRE (Graduate Record Examination) to study MS/M.Tech in foreign countries that offer ample oppurtunites for research and exposure to global education standards. Cracking the GRE with Adequate scores can win you scholarships from the world acclaimed universities in UK, US and Europe. In India, you can also do integrated BS-MS or dual degree programs which gets you a Bachelors-cum-Masters degree in 5 years. Lately there is an unprecedented trend visible in the IT companies like Wipro hiring graduates of such tech-related non-professional degrees each year in mass numbers.
6.BACHELORS DEGREE ABROAD: Instead of waiting to complete the undergraduate programs in India, to move abroad for further studies, some countries like Singapore and France offer scholarship to meritorious students who've scored well in their AISSE or equivalent twelfth grade board exam to pursue the course of their preference in those countries. Scholarships like ASEAN or SIA provide full financial assistance in order to cover the expenses of college, accommodation and food. You must keep track of the websites of these foreign universities and also the government websites of those countries. For such courses you can avail educational loans from banks with subsidized rates.
How so ever, I wish you all good luck in your life. With one last advice on not to make any hasty decisions as these are milestones of life you wouldn't want to regret later, I cap my pen. For any further queries, feel free to comment. After all, clearing an entrance or securing a high rank is not the end of life.
