Q. What are your expectations with CUET?
A. Honestly I did not know anything about CUET before being provoked by this question. CUET is just The Entrance Examination for Universities. I believe it is a good initiative by the Ministry of Education and I expect it would help us in finding a good University. Although it is very competitive, if I can clear the basics, CUET shouldn't be too hard.
Q. Are you preparing for CUET? Will you be going for JEE or Neet? What is the reason for choosing higher education in this stream?
A. As of now, I am not preparing for CUET or JEE, NEET is definitely not in my list. I have chosen higher ed. in this stream because I have interest in these subjects and this stream opens up a lot of opportunities, more so in the fields I'm interested in.

A. I am targeting towards Non-Medical as that is what I have opted. I hope to continue with this for higher studies as well and if not, & will pursue English honours. Whatever seems as the better option.
Q. If not CUET are you planning to get into B. Tech or MBBS ? What career are you planning after your higher education?
A. I do consider B.Tech as an option for higher education. Since long, I have and I still do wish to get into the intelligence Bureau. That is the foremost career option I am looking at right now.
Q. Please share some tips for students prepping up to appear in CBSE Board Exams 2024.
A. To all my juniors, I would just like to advise to relax, sit back and focus on NCERT. Your worst enemy is mental strain and pressure so avoid it at all costs. Do not hype the Boards too much, they are just another exam (actually easier than the regular school ones).
