If you're in Class 12 or just graduated, you're probably inundated with questions: What course should I choose? Is that college even worth it? Is this course going to help me in the future or will I be back guessing after 3 years?

You're not alone. The options are plentiful, whether you are from a Commerce or Science background, but just because there are plenty of options does not mean it has to be confusing. It simply requires using the right lens to look through.

At MBS College Dwarka, we work with students who are in this exact situation - lacking direction but completely capable. Here we offer a simple, practical toolkit to help guide you through your next big decision.

Step 1: Start With What You Are Curious About

This may sound like common sense, but we are always shocked at how many students select their course based on marks, trends, or peer pressure. What is Key is to consider what subjects you enjoy, or at a minimum are curious about.

  • If you are from a Commerce background and interested in areas such as leadership, marketing, or entrepreneurship, studying a degree akin BBA could provide a pathway to business-based roles or enhance MBA potential.

For someone coming from a Science background and who is fascinated by the functioning of the technologies, a practical course like BCA, an application-based course, can lead to careers in software, cybersecurity or technology startups.

For creative students who have design and structure within them, Architecture (B.Arch) could be an enjoyable and life-rewarding experience, especially if you want to merge logic, creativity, and impact.

All three programs are future-ready programs at MBS and were established to facilitate a degree, and turn a students interest to a real, employable skill.

Choosing a College That Offers More than a Certificate

A good college helps you achieve more than a piece of paper - a good college gives you the confidence to use it! This is what it means:

  • Faculty that are providing more than just textbook theory - mentoring, support, and assistance with both academic and real-world challenges.
  • Internships, workshops, and skills development sessions that support practice rather than theory.
  • Career guidance and campus placement services to help you decide what's next after completing a degree.

All courses offered at MBS College Dwarka were established to include all of the above. Be it BBA, BCA or B. Arch, the programs provide the same solid scaffolding, which is essential to help future students' success beyond the classroom.

Think About Your Daily Life Too

You will be a student at your college of choice for the next three to five years, so the environment matters.

Is it safe? Is it accessible? Are there modern tools in the classrooms? Can you envision feeling engaged, inspired, and enenergisedMBS College is located in Dwarka, within walking distance of the metro, which will make your daily commute safe and stress-free.

Takeaway: It's Okay Not to Have Everything Figured Out

You are not expected to know the overall career path you want to take at the age of 17 or 18. What you need to do is choose a program and a college that will help you explore, build and grow.

This could be in business (BBA), technology (BCA), or creative design (B.Arch). The main point is that you have to choose a course that interests you, and a college that inspires you to take that interest seriously.
