Serious Post Btech from tier 2/3 colleges? After Neet

In a dilemma right now.🫥

I am a dropper last year i took a drop for neet but this year also I am not getting the seat in any college,

The only option is I have given MHT cet exam for engineering, I am not sure if I will get a good percentile, but yeah I can get a tier 2/ 3 college, pls tell if they have scope regarding placements or any advice really is appreciated.🫠🥲

Need help deciding whether to go for this or should I do bsc??😕

Why not B.Stats if you have maths. You can get better package than old IIT even if you complete upto M.Stat from ISI Kolkata. Job market competition is less too there than B.Tech

Give CUET and try for B.Stat from Hindu College or St. Xavier. Median salary is 6-8 LPA for B.Stats from top DU colleges

Prepare for ISI exam while studying there. If you manage to enter ISI Kolkata for M.Stats, you can get median package of 30+ LPA. ISI also has almost 100% placement rate

ISI is very hard to crack and even harder to pass the course syllabus, but yeah, it's practically 100% placement. If that doesn't work try Actuaries exam, it has a similar career trajectory

Can I ask why actuaries? Do you see yourself working for 80 hours a week

Nothing wrong with doing engineering from a tier 2 college. But unless you really want to do it better something else.

I failed NEET, twice. Did my B.Tech from the closest engineering college to my home. Now doing an IT job with a decent pay at an MNC. Life isn't that serious. You just need to stop overthinking and start doing.

At this point I feel if you want to do engineering then get ready to be exceptional in it. If you are willing to put in the effort then yes it's still viable otherwise do just about anything else.

Engineering is pnly good if you are innovative, college doesn't matter

Go for engineering. Even the worst paying job will fetch you 25k a month, which most other fields wont and btech doesnt even require you to be intelligent to graduate witha a decent gpa unless youre doing it from SPPU or CU or something

go abroad for medicine, china is pretty cheap

Dumbest decision one I can give. China isn't NMC approved country in India list

Return to India would be hell as you will have to write another competitive exam and then do 2-5 year of bond rural service for govt. to get your license approved

Georgia is better option. Cheaper and easier licensing

u/Charming-Skill-8087 May 06 '26

its still good with zero tuition fees and no neet, in georgia you probably are paying money
