Picking a College: The Next Step in the Lives of Students

Posted On: 2024-05-24 10:49:12

With the results of SSC just around the corner, many students have probably drawn up their plans for their college and higher studies. But there might be quite a few or a huge number of students, who are stuck and confused about what to do next. 

To help them to choose the right path, we are going to talk about picking the right college, and what the right college means. We are not going to recommend career paths, because that completely depends on your talent, skills and interests.

So, with the farewell parties over and school desks kissed goodbye. Let us look at what you must look for in an ideal college.

The first thing that you must check is whether the college you are looking to get admission to has the subjects and courses you want. While most colleges do offer the standard Arts, Commerce and Science, they don’t necessarily have subjects that you might want to study. Some colleges might not have a department for philosophy, history or economics, and non-state languages are generally not included in many colleges. So you might need to take a look into that before signing up for a college.

In India, most colleges are funded by the government which means fees are always within the budget. But there are some colleges that are private and require a huge chunk of money. Please take a look at the fees chart before you enrol in a college. 

Education is not everything as college is also a place for all-round development. Due to the rigid structure and rules of schools, many children leave school without having the necessary skills to succeed in their lives. For example, many schools forbade inter-gender interaction, which leaves many boys completely clueless about how to interact with the opposite sex. 

College is a good opportunity to not only get an education but also gain skills that will help you in your future. Many colleges have annual festivals, seminars and events that will help you gain confidence and communication skills. This scribe over here himself used to travel an hour for college just to get a good campus life.

You can also take the advice of alumni or your friends to know what it is like to be in a certain college. After thorough research, you can narrow down your choices based on academics, fee structure, campus life and other priorities.
