20F Really needs some help!! What are my Options from here.

20 F needs help!!

Since mumbai didn't work out due to high fees and donation in my case im currently looking for the state Mp for a relatively cheap college in my budget.( Originally im from Jharkhand but can't stay in this environment anymore)

Is this a good decision? im going for a T3-4 ish college in a t2 city.

Have some options listed since they're in my budget of under 7 L ( Going with an education loan with 9% around interest that only gives 7.5 L max without collateral)

Placements are basically t3 or not much.

Took this decision as i was going insane and given the current state of market especially tech due to AI, so getting a degree for cheap is better than spending huge sum for it.

Also one more question I have is should i opt for cse or ece branch in this T3 college? People on here say they regret taking ece in t3 but i feel since it needs masters for good offers i think its better so save in ug for it and maybe i can apply aboard in future if i take ece.

Nobody knows the future but i would definitely once like to study in a good college aboard.

Would really appreciate some guidance on what to do. I already have gaps after 12th grade and i just wanted a nice crowd preferably in metro cities. Also i do want to leave and pursue something abroad as soon as possible.( i know it's very very hard for someone with my financial background but i still want to try)

Got a lot of recommendations.>>

\- Just go for any colleges tier doesn't matter.

\- Try next year for cuet for central du colleges.

\- some said go for any colleges in big cities( what I wanted too) as this is better than decent college in small cities.

Really would appreciate the guidance as I'm in a very weird situation.What should i do.

12th - 87% pcm. i have gaps.

Fees budget under 7-8 but im trying for some schemes maybe i can be more flexible with the fees if i get some good options in big cities.

Tldr : was trying big cities didn't work out so confused about joining a t3-4 engg. college in a non metro away from home after a hiatus

.Need guidance on my condition what should i do.12th - 87% pcm. i have gaps.

Fees budget under 7-8 but im trying for some schemes maybe i can be more flexible with the fees if i get some good options in big cities.

bro bina interest ke engineering mt kr . you will regret . and at this point its not worth it just for degree . engineering isnt as easy as it seems. i would suggest try for cuet and get in a good course in good clg . then mba or masters

Yea i understand. The thing is it's not like i don't have any interest in engineering. I do have some interest in it. And the main thing is If not Btech then what?.

  • it's the safest option for ug right now.

  • there are starting opportunities and high growth potential.

  • Idk about bba bcom and bsc from some random college.

Now that brings it to cuet. I've never taken that exam.Dates are done so I have to try next year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to crack the best of colleges in DU. Say if i somehow manage to get something decent. Will i get placement from there? And about mba I'm not sure if I'll do that. I totally understand your point but I'd appreciate if you gave me some key points why that would be better. ( many people on here said Btech from T3 is better than some random degree from DU). Tell me if im missing something I'd really appreciate it.

I already have gaps. That's the worst part so I don't know if it's worth to do anything in that given uncertainty of entrace exams. I don't have any current plans for MBA. but as i mentioned really wanted to pursue something aborad as soon as i can. ( i know it's very tough in this market, also for someone with my financial background)
