- Plan a career based on academic performance, interest, and aptitude.
- If you are planning to sit for entrance examinations, remain clam and carry on the preparations as before.
- For those planning to apply for undergraduate courses in colleges, please remember the number of students exceed the number of seats available. Therefore, choose the colleges you wish to apply carefully.
- Keep in mind your career goal while choosing a course to study. Evaluate the relevance of the course to your career plan and how it can benefit.
- Decide whether you wish to pursue a Masters degree, after graduation. If so, check whether your institution offers the program. If not, consider best options available based on location and cost, before deciding on your undergraduate course.
- Don’t rush to apply in the best colleges, since excess applications minimize your chances. Keep in mind, the reputation of a college does not guarantee success in a career. It’s your hard work that guarantees it. Some of the most successful people that you consider as role models have studied in less popular institutions and yet were very successful.
- For those who prefer to study overseas, please check the institution reputation and ranking for the specific course you plan to study. Do not go by the overall reputation of the college only. For instance, one of the top colleges overall may offer you admission in say, Economics, but its possible a college with an overall lower rank may have a higher rank and reputation in the Economics program. Therefore, it would always be better to study in the latter. It is true for many Indian institutions as well. So choose carefully.
