It’s that time of the year again!
With the board examinations
having concluded, and the results just about pouring in from state and national
boards alike, the one question on the mind of everybody who took these
examinations is invariably about which college he or she should choose, and what
streams he or she should continue further studies on.
Having been a victim of this
dilemma only a year back, I can fully understand what all these fresh school
passouts must be going through. To help ease the process, I asked quite a few
college students across various disciplines, what they kept in mind when they
selected their colleges. I also asked a few school students what subjects they
would choose in college, which colleges they would prefer and why. Some of the students I asked are still in school, and some have just passed
their boards this year, a mix which helped me to gauge which way they were generally leaning.
I hope the little experience
I have, and what I’ve gotten to know from interacting with others who have also
gone through the college dilemma, comes in handy.
