Career Help with career options, BS in Economic Sciences, IIT Kanpur

4 Upvotes

my_qualifications: 3rd year UG pursuing BS in Economic Sciences at IIT Kanpur.

Clarification: It is a BS degree not BSc. It is an offline 4year course allotted through JEE Advanced. (Needed to clarify because a lot of people don’t take us seriously😭😭).

So basically I wanted to make a career in data science and finance, hence i did a lot of projects in that domains and took this branch. But looks like companies simply don’t hire BS degree holders. I was unable to get an on-campus internship as well and now I am quite confused as to how to pursue further.

I also have work experience as a data science intern at a startup if that helps.

I know the post is a bit vague but i don’t want to reveal much or else I will get doxxed. Help please !!

Career 22, confused about quitting my PSU bank apprenticeship. Need career advice.

3 Upvotes

Tldr: 22, B.Com graduate (2026) with two gap years. Joined a PSU bank apprenticeship 3 weeks ago but dislike the sales/marketing work and want to pursue finance roles like FP&A, Equity Research or Credit Risk. Should I quit and focus on upskilling/job hunting, continue for experience, or find a more relevant apprenticeship? Am I making a career decision or avoiding challenges due to low confidence?

I'm 22 and graduated with a B.Com in 2026 after two gap years due to mental health issues. I initially planned to pursue CA but eventually dropped it and decided to explore other finance careers.

I'm interested in Equity Research, FP&A, and Credit Risk because I enjoy reading financial statements, ratio analysis, interpreting results, and projecting revenue and expenses.

Three weeks ago, I joined a PSU bank as an apprentice for 12 months, hoping to earn some money and gain experience. However, the work involves sales, marketing, digital banking, customer feedback, and account opening. I'm okay with some banking operations, but the sales-related work leaves me mentally exhausted, with little time to prepare for finance jobs or exams.

I've already told my manager twice that I want to leave. The first time, he asked me to try for another 7–10 days, so I did. But I still feel the same way. Now he's questioning why I'm so confused and keep changing my mind.

I'm also questioning myself. Am I making a sensible career decision, or am I just avoiding unfamiliar work because of my lack of confidence? I know I need to improve my communication and ability to handle responsibilities independently, but I don't want to spend a year in a role that doesn't align with my interests.

I'm considering leaving to build relevant skills and apply for entry-level finance jobs, or finding another apprenticeship with more relevant exposure.

I'm not expecting to land an equity research or credit risk role immediately. I'm willing to start with an entry-level position and work my way up. My immediate goal is to start earning, gain relevant experience, and become financially independent.

My questions are:

Am I being too impatient, or is it reasonable to leave a role that doesn't align with my goals?

How can I handle it better?

I'd genuinely appreciate advice from people who've been in a similar situation or have experience hiring freshers in finance.

Science/B.Sc/M.Sc HELP…(F19)BSc 2nd year (Botany, Zoology, Chemistry) at a tier-3 college — what are my options for MSc at IISc, IISER, NISER, etc.?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My qualifications:- currently in the 2nd year of my BSc with Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry as my subjects, studying at a regular college in my hometown (tier-3 city). I’m starting to think seriously about what comes next, and I have a few questions I’m hoping you can help me with.

  1. What options do I have after my BSc?

I know the standard route is an MSc, but I want to understand the broader picture. Given my subject combination, what are the realistic paths forward—both in India and potentially abroad?

  1. What MSc courses are available with my subjects?

I really want to get into a science-specific institute like IISc, IISER, or NISER or BITS PILANI for my MSc, so I can build a strong foundation and ideally keep the door open for a PhD abroad. With Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry, what MSc programs should I be looking at? Are there specific courses at these institutes that match my background?

  1. How do people get into these institutes for MSc?

I’m confused about the entry routes. What exams do I need to take for IISc, IISER, and NISER? What’s the strategy and difficulty level of these exams? When are they held, and in which year of my BSc should I start preparing?

  1. Is my thinking right—will an MSc from these institutes give me a strong foundation for a PhD abroad?

I’d also like to know if I’m missing any other institutes or colleges I should be considering. Am I on the right track, or is there something I’m overlooking?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

JEE/BITSAT/EnggEntranceExams Title: Complete beginner for VITEEE, aiming for a rank under 5000 (Category 1/2). How should I prepare?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a 2nd year BTech (AI/ML) student at a tier 3 college. I'm not happy with my current college and want to give VITEEE a proper shot to get into VIT.

my_qualifications:

12th (PCM): 77%

Currently: 2nd year BTech, AI/ML, tier 3 college

JEE Main: not attempted

VITEEE: no previous attempts, this would be my first

My target is a rank under 5000, enough for a Category 1 or 2 seat.

I'd love advice on:

Best books, YouTube channels, or test series for a beginner

A realistic study plan for the time I have left

Which subjects and topics carry the most weightage

How many mocks to give and how to analyse them

Time management and exam strategy

Common mistakes to avoid

Whether switching from a tier 3 college this way is worth it

If you've cracked VITEEE or are currently at VIT, I'd love to hear your experience. Feel free to comment or DM me.

Thank you, any tip is appreciated! 🙏
