Beyond research, students should take out the time to talk to people who know more about the fields they wish to explore – college students pursuing the course, professionals in that field, even career counselors. If the students don’t have any contacts in those particular circles then also they can use social platforms like Youtube, Quora, Linked In, etc.

Drop a year if the Reason is Valid:

Before considering this option the students should:

  • Check their margins by which they missed their cut-offs 
  • the time and dedication that they have to give the next year's attempt.
  • They should also be sure of their ability and patience for the second attempt.
  • The main reason for their failure and can they overcome it.
  • Dropping a year is a very bad thing in the students’ academic profile, this may hamper the future of the student if he does not qualify with good ranks in the next attempt thereby wasting the most precious time of his/her life.

Summary:

Countless students end up discovering they do not wish to be Engineers after/during their course. A student should always evaluate the dreams and aspirations of himself/herself before taking the big step.

India is home to many Engineers and IIT’s but that does not mean everyone can be the same. Students should not follow others just because they are doing it rather they should be the time and evaluate if engineering is valid for them or not.
