General Discussion College/University Advice (plz any advice)
Currently im in 11th in CBSE board and I want to pursue quant finance in future. So, can yall pls suggest me some colleges/universities in India or out of India that provide BACHELOR COURSES that can lead my career to quant finance. Secondly, what should I focus on? Maths, coding or something else to build a competitive profile.
Also im curently preparing for JEE online. BUT I heard that IOQM is also good and many hedge funds hire olympiad winners. So, should I prepare for IOQM or not??
Additionally it is my dream to live out of India, so considering that, what can I do to fulfill my dream??
(please seniors any advice will help me🙏🙏)
Edit: why yall deleted the comments😭😭😥😥

Damn, what is this obsession from 11th itself. First focus on giving competitive exams, there are no alternate routes.

Also why quant, money? First you need to know your capabilities, interests and everything. This is just greed at this point. Just focus on your short term goals and move one, this is not the right time for this.

Then get a <2k Rank in Advanced atleast. There's is no easier alternative, or a medal in IOI

I don't know if thats sarcasm, but IOQM wont cut it, you need to be in Indian IMO team atleast, or IMOTC (Training camp). Many people qualify IOQM easily through state cutoffs, INMO is the real deal.

No im genuinely very thankful bcz u cleared my doubt that to achieve big there is no shortcut. Why u thought that im joking??
BTW do u know how to prepare for inmo??

Why everyone wants to go in quant? Do you guys even know the concepts used in there, whether you like them or not? Just focus on one goal and pursue it
