Since it is admissions time, The Quint has roped in educational counsellors from CollegeDekho to answer all your college and career-related queries. Send in your sawaal for some expert advice on eduqueries@thequint.com.
Here are the answers to some of them:
Dear Nehali,
It is difficult for us to ascertain if this course is fake or not. Before you join, you must read about the course online and try and get in touch with people who have trained from there. Or get in touch with those who will start training with you. Just a suggestion, you should try and apply for popular radio channels (such as All India Radio) so that there is no possibility of any fraud.
Dear Student,

Dear Sir,
First of all, congratulations on your child’s fabulous result. In my opinion, if there is a financial constraint at this point of time, the better option is to go for undergraduate studies – BCom (Hons) from University of Delhi, and then later go abroad for an MBA or Master’s course. As you said, there are bright chances of landing into a top BCom college at DU on the basis of the Class XII marks. If your son maintains his academic record in college too, he will also have the option to apply for scholarships in India as well abroad.
Hi,
BCom Computer is not a course. If you wish to pursue a degree in computers, you can consider a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering or BTech in Information Technology. These are four-year courses that require you to take the JEE Main exam in order to take admission in central affiliated colleges. Click here to read about the difference between BTech and BCA.
If you have not appeared for the JEE Mains, you can register for Bachelors of Computer Application (BCA). This is also a degree course that is three years long. You can get job opportunities in the software development, website designing, data entry, technical support and other such fields. You will get better job opportunities if you pursue BCA followed by Masters of Computer Applications (MCA). Click here to know more about job opportunities after BCA.
Hi Khalid,
116 is a decent score in MHT CET and your brother can try his luck at an engineering college affiliated to the state government. Since he is interested in biology, BTech in Biotechnology or Biochemical is something that will add value to his career. A government college will offer courses that are relatively more affordable than private colleges. Click here to learn more about the scope of biotechnology and job opportunities in this field.
Pharmacy is another bright career option. This link contains all details regarding courses in pharmacy.
Although it is not directly related to the medical field, maybe your brother would be interested in degrees like BSc in Botany, Zoology and Agriculture. They are courses that have good scope if he wants to become a lecturer. He can apply for government jobs and also foray into the research field after pursuing MSc.

Dear Rajni,
See, you have two options, and what you are interested in shall determine your choice. If you have a keen interest in the field of Mass Communication, then it is a better option to pursue it right from the graduation level. It is not that students from a Science background cannot shift to an Arts stream.
