I’m in 11th grade rn
and I live in india
and I did not want to do MPC(maths, physics, chemistry)and I tried to tell my dad that I did not wanna do it.
I told him that I wasn’t interested in engineering or any science
I told him that I’d do CEC(civics, economics, commerce) or MEC (maths, economics, commerce)
and he told me that I will have more options in the future if I take MPC
I really don’t know what I wanna do
but I’m thinking abt BBA after inter
and my dad told me that ppl who are bad at studies take commerce or arts
and I told him that maybe I am bad at it but im just not interested
and he told me that I wouldn’t know what to do cuz I’m too young
and I was too scared to go against my family and mess up
so I just took MPC, that too in a jr.college i did not like
I wanted to go to another college but my mom did not like it cuz she did not know much abt it and she said that it was not known and that the faculty is young like in their 20s and 30s and they do not hv much patience
but the college I wanted to go to had music club, drama club, sports, and other mental health stuff too so it won’t be stressful for the student
but I had to join in this college
which isn’t completely bad but I just don’t like it
and I joined here on June 15th
and I haven’t even been listening to any of my classes
I just regret choosing this so much
and I have to stay here for 2 years
I’m also scared that they’ll force me to choose engineering next year
I told my dad that I wanted to do bba
and I just know he’s not gonna let me do that
I cannot live a single day without regretting taking MPC
I even got a dream recently where my dad joined me in CEC
and the thing is I think I wanted to take CEC bcoz it is easy
maybe I’m just too lazy and I don’t wanna work hard
and now i don’t know how to get any motivation to listen to my classes and pay attention and get good grades
and I also thought of going to the college I wanted to go to next year atleast
This year it’s mostly going to be online
so next year, hopefully I can just take physical classes in that college
and I’m sorry, this is too long

Heyy! I wanted to take Humanities too but ended up taking Science because that had my friends instead. So, my parents also wanted me to do engineering bc of that but I didn’t want that. I was even in a coaching institute but guess what by then I knew I will not survive a day being in an engineering background.

I did some research, collected information on what I wanted to do. Made a list of why the career I choose for myself is better for me.

FYI at least your option is BBA, mine was B.DES that is Bachelor in Design, which any Indian parent will quickly frown upon. But I made them believe why it is good for me. What are the advantages of being in the design course.

I showed them my potential, gave them information about several entrance exams and colleges in India. In the end, they were impressed by my confidence in myself, my passion for it, and my scope in design, because it is something at which I am really good.

So make your parents believe in you that yes what you have chosen for yourself is good.

Because here I am in my second year of design college and enjoying my studies and life.

Sorry this is too long lmao.

So there is your answer! You don’t know what you want to do how can your parents be convinced then? For engineering, everybody knows it ins and outs, we know what exams to give, what colleges are the best what courses are there, etc… and therefore they think that it would be easier for them to assist you in your engineering background.

If you are not able to find much about BBA them maybe you aren’t searching much. Start with simple things like best colleges, academic success, fees, placement percentage, Their reviews, What can you do after BBA, job application, average salary etc… These are the basic and kind of not that hard to find and also very convincing.

You need to be passionate, show that to your parents. They just want what’s best for you!

Sometimes just try to listen to your parents. I’m telling this in my experience.
Yes, most of the Indian parents think Medicine, Engineering and Law are the only professions that get you well settled in life. That’s not true. But just try to understand one thing. Engineering is difficult, it is really stressful, but if you get through those 4 years, you can do anything in life. You can’t talk against your parents and you want to do what you like. So finish those 4 years for your parents and then live life in your own terms. Work for what you want to become.

I too joined Engineering because my parents wanted to. They only want you to have a better life. Just look around, most of the people like CA, Administrative jobs that requires you to pass Govt. Exams, Designers, Bank Jobs, are all Engineers. Because when you study Engineering, nothing will be difficult in your life, seriously. Most of the successful startups and businesses are owned by Engineers. Just take these examples. So when you become an engineer, you can choose any profession you like and work for it. Because, it is not limited to a particular Niche.

Instead of BBA, study Engineering and do some basic courses on Business available online and study with determination. Once you graduate apply for IIMs or some big Business School or if you can afford try some foreign universities. Complete your MBA and then your life will be just you wanted it to be.

Hope it helps.

All the best. Study well.

yeah I understand that I might have a better future if I do engineering
but I already regret taking mpc
and I cannot do this
and like I have 0 interest in that
and I also do not have the capability for that
atleast if I had capability and no interest also, I would do that and then do mba or smtg
but I need good scores right?
I suck at this stuff and atleast if i had some interest I would hv some motivation to study
so idk
and thanks
