help me please!

[evilwit]

hey guys i just passed out 10th class with 76%Now i am confused what to take?should i take science or commerce with computers ?i am more interested in computers.particularly more in cyber security and hacking.if take science,then should i take maths or bio..i am little weak at maths...but will taking bio affect my computer field?and i am also thinking to sit in iit exams...but will it help me?is there any kind of engineering for cyber security?will going for cyber security area help me in earning more?and what do they teach in computer engineering?help please.thanks

Let me give you a slight hint of the situation.

During class XI-XII:
science students have to work hard, really work hard.
commerce students can party hard, enjoy these 2years

After XII, during graduation:
science students can relax (but have to study nevertheless),
commerce students have to study seriously and work hard.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

To sit in IIT, and other JEE exams you need to have PCM, if you take bio it's over.

This is only for if you want to go for engineering.

Otherwise you can take commerce, and then BCA.

But as you are interested in Comp. Engg. I'd suggest go for PCM, study hard, go for Engg.

You can also opt for PCMB, because it's better to have options open if you are not sure about maths. Many students do take the wrong decision at 10th so if you are not sure about it, my advice is to opt for PCMB just in case.

 

[MatchBoxx]

PCM-statistics, is an excellent combination!

 

[mohityadavx]

You can also opt for PCMB

Looks like we have radically different views again.


evilwit don't go 4 maths and bio at the same time as it will not only require double hardwork but also i have seen several students taking PCMB and failing to achieve something good in both the fields

One more thing plz tell r u frm CBSE if yes but plz don't mind and don't ake it to heart 76% in CBSE with CCE is not good enough u will have 2 work atleast 3-4 hours daily only if u wanna take PCM and do engg frm good place and if PCMB it will increase to more.

Choice is urs.

I can give u another option u may like it :-

Take commerece with computers . Get good marks in boards do BCA frm good college do some computer certification in feild u r interested i.e. in hacking if u r not satisied with ur package a LLB in Cyber Law would suffice u.


One more thing:- IIT is not the end of the world ( If don't beleive me ask sone1 intelligent nims11 his AIEEE rank is 6k but didn't made it to IITJEE but doesn't diminishes what he is in actual)

 

[mitraark]

Do not take Bio , as you are somewhat certain you have interests in COmputer , Bio will let you have more options in future is a misnomer , hardly much people [ not particualarly keen on going on in Medicince etc.. ] get in any of the fields of medical.

Take PCM , Computer Applications , if you do good in 11 -12 , try hard for Engineering like AIEEE , State JEE even IIT maybe , then you can study CSE IT in college , or maybe take up BCA if that does not turn out as expected..

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Agree with this.(EDIT:mitraark's post)

Bio will take away a lot of precious time from your JEE/AIEEE preparations. Get C.Sc or IP.

And enroll in a coaching institute if you can work hard.

 

[Kniwor]

Simply put, mathematics opens up may more fields for you than any other subject does. Unless you are exceptional in Biology and are determined to be a good expert, that might not be a good choice. Keep in mind, taking biology will not spare you of mathematics. To be able to do anything useful in life, you will have to learn a fair bit of mathematics, it is better you do it now. I don't suggest taking PCMB as some others here have.

 

[evilwit]

what are the other options in computer field after taking commerce?what is the scope of llb in cyber laws?thanks

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Nothing, you can go for BCA after taking commerce, but I'd not suggest that.

I mean you can do BCA and MCA and can really expect a great position. But if you are really interested in Security, I'd say go for Science(PCM), or PCMB as other members suggested, get into B.Tech. And do CCNA, CCNP, CISSE, RHCE, RHCSS etc.

You can also achieve these certifications after BCA or MCA but then companies prefer B.Tech than BCA. And MCA is equivalent to B.Tech. So After B.Tech, if you go for M.Tech too that would add a real value with those certifications.

As i told earlier u need to go for BCA and do some certification courses though u would be eligible for doing BSc in Computer Science also but that would be very difficult 4 u to cop up with as its syllabus include extensive Physics and Chemistry.

LLB in cyber law has very much scope in India due to lack of good quality lawyers in India

See the fact that approx 10 lakh ppl become engineer each year and not even 1 lakh lawyers come out in a year and even among them only top 2000 lawyers are considered good ( Those who did law from any NLU, ILS PUNE ,Symbiosis Pune, GLC Mumbai, NIRMA) rest are considered s-so lawyer (Though some may become gem after coming in litigation)

Nowadays NLU also offer Integrated courses like BCom LLB or BA LLB.

Law is a promising career

Infact i would be pursuing law as a career from this year as i managed to crack CLAT somehow and would do my specialization in either Cyber Law or Civil Law.

If your parent tell that law is not well paying show some of these links :-

Link1 ( This is 6th best law college in India )

Link2 ( This is best law college in India )

i want to take science with PCM but some of my friends told me that it would be very difficult for me to handle both science and computers.is this true?is it possible to do computer engineering without taking computers in class 11th-12th?and what is the procedure of doing computer engineering?and what do they teach at computer engineering?

Its not difficult to do so but still it will waste ur precious time which should be devoted to PCM.

It is not compulsory to take computer in class 11-12 for taking computer engg.

What do u mean by procedure???

Computer engg syllabus changes frm institute to institute check institute's official website 4 more details.

Just take care u don't make any decision in haste trust me consult some counselor if u r not sure about anything.

Give ur peace of mind to Law atleast 1ce i not more before deciding anything.


Best Of Luck!!!

its not that difficult. I took Informatics Practices and PCM in 12th. I didn't face too many problems because I had already studied Visual Basic earlier. In boards I got 90 in IP and 91.33% in PCM with IIT-JEE qualified and much more. Also CBSE Xth marks doesn't make a difference, they are not important. Just study these 2 years in a coaching centre and good luck.

It is not so difficult to be honest. You do NOT require to have the computer science subject in your 11th and 12th in order to do computer engineering.

The choice of science vs. commerce is yours alone. However, if you're thinking money I'd say commerce is a better choice. For computer education, it is possible to do BCA and MCA after pursuing commerce in 12th. You can also do B.Sc and M.Sc in Computer Science or IT, but that seems to be unpopular these days in comparison to BCA/MCA

One way or another mathematics is required in computer related fields. Not extensive maths but still it will be there. So, if this is your goal, take something mathematically oriented.

Nothing is difficult if you like it and put appropriate effort. I studied PCMB and never had any problem, and I was pretty good at both maths and bio, mainly because I liked biology a lot. Similarly, if you like computer science, you will do well.

@krishnandu.sarkar: M.Tech is not a job requirement anywhere. B.Tech/MCA + some external certifications is enough. As a recruiting manager from a major software services firm once told me, B.Tech is all that is needed - the remaining knowledge can easily be imparted to candidates via training. Especially in the software field, an M.Tech will net you minimal benefits over a BE/B.Tech/MCA (a slight salary raise at best). It is better that you simply work hard those two years instead, or pursue an MBA.

I ALSO HAVE THE SAME QUESTION. FOUND IT USELESS TO MAKE A NEW THREAD...
HAVE 94 % IN SCIENCE GROUP IN MADHYAMIK (WAS LIKE THIS : )

OVERALL 77.625 % WITHOUT ADDITIONAL
HAHA


HAVE CHOSEN SCIENCE STREAM WITH PHYSICS CHEM MATHS AND CMP SCIENCE.
YOU SPELL THE TRIO AS PCM?


SO WHAT ARE THE CAREER PROSPECTS . WHAT CAN I DO?
I HAVE A GREAT INTEREST IN COMPUTERS..

AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO GET FROM AN EMPLOYER AFTER I DO WHAT YOU HHAVE SUGGESTED..

 

[evilwit]

i have decided to take science with pcm and computer science.i will try to sit in competitive exams.but the question is should i take admission in fiitjee o join different coaching for different subjects?and i like computers(hacking,cyber security)and i dont like chips and all that stuff.so please tell me that engineering that includes only computers and software.thanks

 

[mastercool8695]

i'hv alreadyy joined one maths tution..
but it would be better if you consult your seniors (they will tell you which teacher teaches how good..)/ your teachers/ may be some guys here may help you out.

atm, separate tutions will b more helpful.

but dont go after me.. maybe you learn better in whole day long classes in fiitjee (i heard about this from a friend)

If you don't like chips and the like, it would be better if your tried BCA/B.Sc instead of engineering, as engineering will involve you with microprocessors to a fairly deep extent. However, if you deeply desire engineering, I think information technology (IT) is the branch that suits your interests the most.

Regarding coaching, it's really up to you. Think about the timing, duration of the class, time taken to complete syllabus, etc.

Generally speaking, excluding IIT-JEE coaching centres, individual classes for separate subjects seem better for most people. But this is mostly a personal decision.

(Heck, the whole coaching thing is now getting so common I sometimes wonder how the hell I passed through all these years without any coaching....)
