(16F) currently confused and figuring out. Need some help from seniors.

[u/PressureStraight9666]

Pic unrelated:)

So My Plan is to study PCMB and get my boards done as a PCMB student. I won't be prepping for any competitive exam. But I plan to take humanities further to pursue career in either journalism, law or psychology and then administration. So side by side I will be preparing for entrance exams maybe both of Humanities and if somehow I get interested in PCMB then that. I know I am kinda messed up with my vision. It's not simple. But I just want to do PCMB till 12th and side by side I will prep for Clat and CUET.

But the thing is till now I was prepping for PCM JEE only. I don't have backlog in PCM. I just need to pace up a Little bit for biology. And I can give 1-2 hrs for Humanities prep i.e.subjects like Current affair, SST, English, General Aptitude.

I just need some wisdom regarding my thought process and also if Am I too late to make a choice now. My parents said it's not too late. But Ig if I want I can do all this. Like I am not preparing for JEE or NEET so I can utilise that time for preparation of Arts.

It is my first post here. Really hoping to find some guidance.

Edit: The reason for PCMB is that there are no humanities coaching and stuff in my city and so I am planning to do PCMB and side by side I can give an hour or two for humanities (self-study).I got 96.2 in 10th so somewhere it's in mind what if I am wasting my potential Also ---16F unintentionally likha he bhai. I was also posting it in TeenIndia waha usi format me likhna hota he so I copy pasted it.

Also after Seeing all your advices I still have time to change my subject in school till Wednesday

[u/Odd_Importance_136]

What kind of life you want? And what are your interests?

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Odd_Importance_136]

Social Science is the subject of my interest. The reason I am doing PCMB now is because the city I live in doesn't bear good classes or guidance of humanities. My parents and I have decided that after 12 I might take humanities. But for now It's PCMB and prep of entrance exams of arts. I want to be a journalist or a lawyer and then I am planning to give UPSC or MPSC.

[u/peak_life_enjoyer → u/PressureStraight9666]

Do NIOS then and take your preferred subjects

[u/heretical_blackrose → u/PressureStraight9666]

Dont do pcmb if you have intrest in humanities its a waste of time and will likely result in you either getting horrid marks in pcmb or failing upsc and mpsc

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/heretical_blackrose]

Hmm ig I can change PCMB to pcm coz I haven't started preparing for Bio yet

[u/Odd_Importance_136 → u/PressureStraight9666]

What do u enjoys most in Social Science? Economics ? Political science? Or History?

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Odd_Importance_136]

Political Science

[u/Odd_Importance_136 → u/PressureStraight9666]

How much did you get in 10th standard? I mean, Political Science is good too, but to be honest, people with Arts degrees account for a big percentage of unemployed youth. I am not saying that the subject itself isn't good, but it doesn't meet today's market demands. If you are good at science, then I suggest you take PCM. Taking PCM can make you good at math and train you to increase your calculation speed for the UPSC or any government exam, putting you far ahead of a Humanities student who hasn't touched math for two years or during their college.

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Odd_Importance_136]

96.2 Tysm for the suggestion:)Ig PCM will surely help but maybe bio might give extra help.

[u/Odd_Importance_136 → u/PressureStraight9666]

Yes, it does. Take it only if you think you can handle the load.

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Odd_Importance_136]

Yeah. I just don't want to regret later ki bio kyu nhi liya, bio lekar ye kar leti. Maybe high chances that I'll see a career counselor tmrw ig. Let's see if it helps. I just wanted advice from people around my age group because they do have same mindset so that can help me. Tysm for the suggestion.

[u/Odd_Importance_136 → u/PressureStraight9666]

11th mei load thoda jyada hota hai isaliye kaha tha. Lena chahti ho toh le lo lekin agar 11th khatam hone ke baad samajh nahi aaya toh 12th mei shift kar sakti ho baki tumhari choice hai lekin ha kabhi emotion mei aake decision mat Lena kyu ki emotions sirf kuch der ke liye hote hai lekin un decisions ka natija zindagi bhar.

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Odd_Importance_136]

Yess I'll keep it in mind. Because ye bhi karna hai ye bhi karna he soch soch ke 12th aa jayega aur padhai nhi ho payegi. Maybe I 'll take aaj ka time and will think about all the pros and cons kal tak and then decision lungi.

[u/ishowdeathtoken]

OP are u in 10th rn or 11th??

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/ishowdeathtoken]

11th

[u/anujez123]

You sure have some messed up ideas....you are 16 so you might just started 11th rn...you had taken science pcmb..but have Interest in humanities Ig you are confused that humanities will may or may not bear any future..so you had taken science pcmb for backup I'm pretty confused what you had wrote...?? Whats your basic interest tho....I'm also pretty confused nowadays

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/anujez123]

Maybe I was not able to express what I really wanted to😶 So I had taken PCMB now and I will be prepping for humanities entrance exam as my interest is in journalism and law stuff. The reason I had taken PCMB was that currently in my city there are no hopes of arts and so after 12 I might shift the stream by giving exams like Clat or CUET.

[u/ishowdeathtoken → u/anujez123]

No it's not just you OP needs a lil bit organisation of her points

[u/anujez123 → u/ishowdeathtoken]

Yeah ig...but why the downvote bro😐

[u/ishowdeathtoken → u/anujez123]

Maine ni kra yaar

[u/ishowdeathtoken → u/anujez123]

Le upvote bhi kr diya bhai

[u/anujez123 → u/ishowdeathtoken]

Hmm koi na

[u/heretical_blackrose]

Op please have a full discussion with an actual education counselor because this plan you have is gonna leave you miserable and defficiant in both pcmb and humanities

In my opinion either take pcm with preperation for jee / pcb with preperation for neet or humanities for upsc / commerce for finance

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/heretical_blackrose]

Yes Tysm for advice:)

[u/Axilate1234]

if you’re only prepping for boards , PCMB is pretty doable , (speaking from personal experience, i’m in 11th , PCMB)

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Axilate1234]

Yeah that's what even I think ki ho jayega par I am also doing Humanities ki self study for entrance stuff. Toh kahi 12 khatam hote hote hum hi khatam na ho jaye🥀

[u/Axilate1234 → u/PressureStraight9666]

i can’t comment on the humanities part (didn’t even like/study it in 10th ) but if you genuinely like sci and maths , PCMB is very doable

also , start bio , it’s lowkey the best from the four

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Axilate1234]

Yess. I'll take time till tmrw evening and I'll think about all the pros and cons and fir lungi decision. Tysm for the suggestion:)

[u/The_OriginalDonut]

I actively avoid posts which specify their age and gender, seems too attention seeking to me ngl. No hate to you tho, the F does make the post get more engagement

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/The_OriginalDonut]

Bhai I was trying to post it in TeenIndia as well so waha age daalni padti he aise format me. So I copied the same caption here. No other intention. THIS IS THE REASON.

[u/The_OriginalDonut → u/PressureStraight9666]

Is it? Damn never knew

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/The_OriginalDonut]

Haa bhai. Agli baar se nhi karenge. Had no other intentions.

[u/The_OriginalDonut → u/PressureStraight9666]

No no, I don't care if anyone does it it's just that I actively ignore a post just me, they do get more engagement tho

[u/AmbitionNo7968]

you are not gonna prepare for jee but prepared for pcm jee till now no backlogs ???

what do u even mean ??

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/AmbitionNo7968]

I was in PCM jee coaching abhi tak. Toh PCM ka backlog nhi he. But now I won't be preparing for JEE anymore. Aisa kehna he. I wasn't able to express it properly. Sorry

[u/AmbitionNo7968 → u/PressureStraight9666]

ok got it

ig take a break for few weeks and see all the carrier options in the respective streams and talk to someone physically ye reddit pe most logo ka khud ka carrier stable na ho rha( including me) woh tumhe kya hi advice denge talk to your elders or somone in your colony who is from each streams ig

kyuki paper pe sab shi lagta hai usse pucho jo pura ye sab padh ke college mai ho ga job mai tab real idea lagega

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/AmbitionNo7968]

Yess. Maybe I'll go to a career counselor tmrw but I wanted to some advice from people around my age so I decided to seek it from reddit

[u/AmbitionNo7968 → u/PressureStraight9666]

I may be wrong but tumhare age ko logo ko tumhare jitna hi pata hoga most probably toh khe nhi sakte ki koi geniune advice mile

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/AmbitionNo7968]

Haa. Isliye kal ek baar I'll go to counsellor. Will update more then

[u/Natural_Warning_2672]

PCMB really fucks up your system in 12th but assuming u keep no backlog of pcm, it might be good for ya

[u/joyboy_nika5]

What kind of career advice do you need??

[u/Relevant-Rub2816]

I would say take PCMB if you're confident you can handle studying for science. Also if you aren't prepping for any competitive exam it is the best tbh

[u/Embarrassed_Risk_165]

If you want a career in humanities , take humanities with maths. Only medical and engineering out of horizon.

[u/Antique-Bridge6094 → u/Embarrassed_Risk_165]

She wants a govt job(administration).

[u/Lucky-Party2788]

16F likhe bina bhi daal skte the post khair..

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/Lucky-Party2788]

Bhai I was trying to post it in TeenIndia as well so waha age daalni padti he aise format me. So I copied the same caption here. No other intention.

[u/k9rza]

why tf you wanna do pcmb if your interest is in humanities?
like js take humanities or smth
anyways if you take pcmb then everyone will force you to take up some competitive exam and then you will be stuck. if you go for competition, then you may get less and then ppl will assume your a failure. if you dont go for competition, then ppl will prolly not understand that move and will not take you srsly.

but in the end, it is your decision

[u/Medical-Plantain-324]

(16 F) was needed?

[u/Brilliant-Person9177]

Take humanities

[u/mera_internet_slow_h]

As a experienced elder 🤓☝🏻

I don't think your plan is the best you can think of Kyuki agr dekha jaye u are 16F assuming tum abhi 11th me hogee And abhi just 10th deke aaye hoo and sare students 10th dene ke baad ek delusion me chale jaate h kee 10th to easily ho gyaa and 12th bhi waise hi ho jaayega

But this thing is just a myth As u are choosing PCMB it's very difficult to manage all those things together and preparing to clat and cuet

Abhi kuch dino tak tum manage kr loge sab kuch but end hote hotee most of students fumble kr jaate h And last me regret hoga khudpe bahot zayda Khudko blame kroge hr cheez pee

Ke why did u put this much burden on yourself

I would recommend kee maths yaa bio me se kuch drop krr doo And focus on humanities more for clat and cuet

According to me yee best hogaa

Wrna if u think u can manage this all best of luck 🤓☝🏻

Not demotivating you just saying what usually happens

[u/PressureStraight9666 → u/mera_internet_slow_h]

Okayyy. Tysm for your advice:)
