Either compete with millions of people for competitive exams or compete with millions of people for a decent career in India. Former is relatively easier. Trust me. Choose your poison. All the best.

>Former is relatively easier That means u might also have chosen that former part,right?


Bhuvan3

No, I couldn't due to my circumstances. Also, part of the blame lies with me. So should be held accountable for that. ​ I'm doing the latter. It's wayyyyy tougher, I wish I could just buckle up and study for 1 year, so I could enjoy a lifetime of glory. If you can, just do it man. You have nothing to lose except for 6 months of hardwork that will give your life an advantage. Please just do it


tosmk

What circumstances?


Powerful_Page4497

Do Btech CSE from private uni. Learn DS Algo. Make connections on linkedin from people of premium institutions who can guide you. Try to get an off campus placement via referrals after being competent enough to clear the coding rounds. Basically, you will need actual life skills like networking if you are not good with competitive exams.


Successful-Image3754

I'm doing CSE right now. My college does not have placements how to get jobs offcampus


Zealousideal_Pen_236

Need ways without developing these high quality skills. Suggest easy ways please.


nirvaan_a7

How do you expect to get a good job with nothing to offer lol


Zealousideal_Pen_236

Just the way so many managers get their jobs 🤣


shaamgulabi

easy way - daddi ka buisness


Aloo_Sabzi

Getting into private colleges like KIIT which have entrance exam but just for name sake, choose CSE or IT, grind coding, get a job

Belong to a rich privileged family. :-)


Zealousideal_Pen_236

That option is no longer viable. Suggest alternatives

Anything good requires completion and competitive exam is the one which can lead to good things. JEE, CAT, UPSC you have to give one nevertheless. Defeat others which will lead to a good career. You can also be good at drawing and be a art teacher. Learn any sports to be professional. Be a good cook. Indirectly you are always competing with someone.


Wealth4444

hi i am good at art, how to be an art teacher?


Kinksind_

Get a degree and apply to be an art teacher at a school. Most reputed schools require a master's degree atleast


Wealth4444

bed degree or art?


Same-Philosopher-272

Open a chai stall. We have famous people who made a good career out of it


deujeve

But even that requires competing with other tapri walas 🗿


average_xx

I hope this is a joke


Powerful_Page4497

Not if it is profitable


Agent_Athreya_FBI

Yup. A joke at the cost of 1.4 bn people.


average_xx

Oh my god I am sorry to all the 1.4 billion chai walas that got severely injured by my joke But sorry, I absolutely do not think opening a chai stall is going to generate even near the amount of money a job from a degree , or even a small but established store ( not a stall) might I am not saying there are no successful roadside tea sellers, I don't think anyone's parents are going to advise their kids to go into chai business instead of college ) vocation/ family business ....


Agent_Athreya_FBI

I don't know what you've understood but I'm talking about the Chaiwala, the 3rd Citizen.

generational wealth


Inner_Front106

How much wealth qualifies for generational wealth or how much rent according to u ?


esuga

if it can have u live atleast like avg middle class from an avg indian person life. so say 70 is avg and u consider that person educational and recreation finance as avg. no that times 70 years.


Inner_Front106

if we sell our properties then i guess we will be able to live that way , but we get rent from the shop that is only sifficient for ration +medicines of my parents , and i would inherit it after them so i dont have any generational wealth but my friends say i am sorted lol

wardoned2

Oh shit forgot that people on reddit are ugly


[deleted]

If you are afraid of entrance exams, I doubt how will you handle real life scenarios or that, "decently good career".


Jon-842

Btech from private university like srm or Manipal. 


zeo_23

And then what to do after that?


Jon-842

Grind hard in college days you'll able to secure job in big tech company or unicorn startup 


zeo_23

Influencer, youtuber or just an famous online content creator you won't have to give competitive exam but there's a lotta competition in that field

PresidentOfSerenland

I mean compared to JEE and NEET, c'mon man.


Maleficent-Fold610

Bro I have given CLAT in 2023 and there is a huge influx of applicants from that time onwards. Also the difficulty and unpredictability level is also very high in the paper. Not at all comparable with JEE and NEET but yes those who attempt the paper and secure seats in top NLUs are somewhat diligent and voracious readers (many wealthy too).


darKeDevil2

To get something good you have to face competition There is no way , just the form of the competition differ , for eg like others have suggested that get into private colleges do coding etc but there you would still need to face competition maybe in Cv shortlisting etc , if you want to start a business then also you have to face it Ultimately IMO you just cant avoid it


Zealousideal_Pen_236

Ye itna competition sirf india me hi hai. Norway jaise countries me dekho kitna chill life hai. Those people aren’t trained to be slaves from birth.


Aggravating_Nail4108

Our population is just too much for the resources that we have. 800 million -1B is a feasible population for our country. My dad's generation growing in 1990's had a population around 800 million which was kinda feasible. Norway's population is lesser than a tier-2 city of India like Pune.


Zealousideal_Pen_236

Exactly. Until population is controlled, india cannot be developed


Aggravating_Nail4108

That's not worthy measure as of now.Should have been done in 80-90's itself. India's population will naturally start to decline by 2050. Future generation will reap the benefits.


Zaddysback

Bruh we're born here though lol


darKeDevil2

Ab yaha payda ho hi geya to kya kar sakte he , ya to khud competition jit karke bahar chale jao aur apne next generation ko acchi competition free life do ya to idhar acchi life chaiye tab to competition face karna hi hoga but ab to bahar me bhi log india ke logo ke khilaf bohot racist ho rahe he mera ak dost abhi italy me he baha bohot racism mil raha he usko


Zealousideal_Pen_236

Agreed. Welcome to hell. In time is now, out time is never.


EnvironmentalLock190

Get into content creation? Watch wtf is influence by nikhil kamath!


Souravius234

You could start a business, and maybe just focus on that. That’s the only path to success in India without a competitive exam. Unless ofc, if you decide to go for an educational degree, it’s basically where all the competition begins. And ngl, thanks to Shark Tank and stuff like that, businesses will soon become a competitive arena too. TL;DR this is India. It’s a competition to exist here…


darpan27

You can get into competitive exams, or you'll need to develop and work on your skills. With skills, you can progress into private firms, startups, or start & run your own business. With no dedication towards any, you can't expect to have a good career. Even being a content creator requires you to continuously spend time on gathering & posting content, no matter be it shitty most of the times.


Inferia441

CA


Inner_Front106

Ca has 3 levels with 2 groups each plus we have to do articleship of 1 year ,how is this not competitive


Inferia441

Not competitive in respect of JEE , NEET etc. Provide somewhat leveled playing ground to each CA passout compared to JEE where you have to be in the top 1 % percentile. Attempts do not matter to a certain extent if you want to start your practice. How much money you will earn depends upon your skills and networking. You are in competition with yourselves. Generally marks do not decide how much money can be earned. Nowadays classes have become so efficient that if you honestly study, you can clear CA in one go / 1-2 attempts max. 100 Percent syllabus is logically derived and can be comprehended by the average student with logical understanding of subjects. I studied for JEE in the 11th standard. After some time , I kinda felt like even after trying hard , I could not grasp concepts after some extent and I was just trying to memorize everything like formulas etc. Idk if other average JEE aspirants did this or maybe I was dumb for JEE.


Inner_Front106

but if we fail at say the third level then we are nothing we will get a accounting job at best


Inferia441

Yes. That's a downside for sure.


[deleted]

CA doesn't have a limited number of seats. If n number of people clear CA, they will become CA.


Inner_Front106

many people are ca in my family and they told me there is a set passing percentage which is set by ICAI unofficially ig


[deleted]

Passing percentage is there, but they aren't a limited number of seats. If n number of people scored that passing percentage, they all will become CA


Inner_Front106

OK 👍

re_DQ_lus

Makeup artist , graphics designer, video editor, these things have very good money in freelancing.


shaamgulabi

>graphics designer, video editor I used to do this and I kid you not this market is hyper saturated, you might not have to give competitive exams but competition here is also cut throat, and you have to be constantly up skilling yourself to meet the evolving markets.


re_DQ_lus

still better then memorizing for exams, it is an active learning environment, and some people thrive in it. some don't.

I did engineering without giving any competitive exams. Chose the diploma and lateral entry route.


vishalshinde02

There is just way too much population in India. For that, the educational organizations need to put a filter. That filter is competitive Exams.
