Is a 57 in 12th Class Enough for a in Computer Science?
Dear aspiring professionals, don't worry if your 12th-grade marks were just 57. While it's true that your past achievements cannot be changed, you now have the opportunity to focus on yourself to build a strong career.
Reflecting on my own journey, I had a similar challenge. In 2017, I too failed my 12th-class exams, and my score in 2018 was just 58. Yet, I can assure you that you can transcend your past struggles by focusing on your future academic and professional goals. When you enter college in your final year, you can demonstrate to your employer how you have grown and improved, transforming weaknesses into strengths.
Exploring Admission Options
If you're considering an admission to IITs or NITs, you'll need to score at least 75 or fulfill the 20 criteria set by the state board. Alternatively, with a score of 60, you can seek admission to private colleges that have a 75% cut-off.
My situation is similar. After two attempts, I passed Physics with a score of 38 (PCB) and Chemistry with 60%. For those with a 57 in 12th class, a diploma or polytechnic in computer science might be a viable option. A 3-year polytechnic course can serve as a stepping stone, and you can then pursue lateral entry into a program. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those who need to strengthen their foundational knowledge before embarking on a full degree.
Professional University Opportunities
Many professional universities like LPU offer a range of specialized programs. For a in Computer Science at LPU, the eligibility criteria typically require a 60% in PCM subjects with English, Physics, and Mathematics. Additionally, candidates need to score 60% in the LPUNEST/ CUET Section-IA (Languages - English) and Section-II (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry).
For students with just 50% in 12th class, options like BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration), BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications), and other similar programs may be more suitable. However, there are exemptions for students from 5 North East states, Sikkim, and for candidates and their dependents of Kashmiri migrants, who may be eligible despite their lower scores.
Focus on Your Future
Ultimately, the key is to focus on your future goals and prepare for them thoroughly. While your 12th-grade performance doesn't define your future potential, it does provide an opportunity to demonstrate your growth and dedication. When you enter college, you can showcase how you've overcome challenges and improved your skills, making you an attractive candidate for placements and future job opportunities.
Remember, your journey ahead is filled with numerous opportunities to rectify past mistakes and build a successful career. Whether you pursue a , diploma, or any other professional course, the important thing is to take proactive steps towards your goals.
