I'm a PCB student and I'm currently giving my board exams, those are my qualifications, and I don't want to take NEET, I'm really unsure about other career options, so what are the best secure career paths I could choose in India?

Hardik

you could do a bba from a good college, and just do some extra stuff on the side while you're in college

Malini

to be honest, there aren't many options, I know there are a few like bds, bams, and veterinary, but you still have to work really hard for a decent salary, and you would need to take NEET for that, you can still get into other courses, but those are usually in private universities which charge a lot of fees

Chitra

I'm a PCB student myself, I didn't take NEET, and I'm going to do a bca course this year

Yatin

you could do a BBA and MBA integrated course through IPMAT, or a BTech in Biotechnology

Chandni

any undergraduate degree from at least a tier 2 college, and then you can do an MBA

Rahul

how about a BSc from a good college, and then you could do an MSc later on


Ritvik

I'm literally in the same position as you, I've shortlisted a few options, but I'm still doing some more research, I hope you applied for CUET, some options are law, psychology, or you could take NEET and try to get into veterinary, or you could just do some bsc science course, I'm still really confused

I did a BPharm when NEET didn't work out for me four years ago, I kind of regret it, but it's an option

if you don't want to take NEET after PCB, there are still many good career options in India, some popular ones are BPharm, biotechnology, or microbiology, if you're interested in medicines or research, or BSc nursing or allied health sciences, which have good job opportunities, or a BSc in biology or life sciences, and then you could do an MSc or go into research or teaching, or psychology, which is a growing field, or a BBA in healthcare or hospital management, if you want to move into the management side of healthcare, many private universities in India offer these courses with decent facilities and placements, the best option depends on your interest, budget, and career goals, if you want, you can DM me and I can help you understand different colleges and admission options
