After completing my 12th, I pursued a B.Tech degree. I achieved a score of 70% in both my 10th and 12th grades. However, during my 2nd year, I faced challenges and ended up failing in all 5 subjects, leading to a Year Back. I retook the subjects as a Re-Student and successfully cleared them. Unfortunately, in my 3rd year, I encountered the same situation with backlogs in all 5 subjects. Once again, I re-enrolled as an Ex-Student. Currently, my results remain undisclosed, and I am uncertain if they will be released. A similar experience occurred to a friend of mine; her results were pending for the same semester, and she also had to address backlogs in 4 subjects, ultimately resulting in her departure from UPTU.
At this juncture, I find myself at a loss. Financial constraints prevent me from furthering my studies, and with my 24th birthday approaching, I am still not a graduate. While my current role as an HR trainee at a recruitment firm does not necessitate a degree, I fear that in the future, a lack of graduation certification will hinder my career progression if I seek new opportunities.
I feel overwhelmed by a sense of despair, besieged by negative thoughts. The uncertainty of my academic situation weighs heavily on me, and I am in urgent need of guidance and support. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To face challenges in life, you need to strengthen yourselves. You have to keep nourishing your skills every day, irrespective of your qualification. Qualification is needed at the entry level and throughout your life. You need to build your own image in society where people recognize you by your name and not just your qualification. Good luck.

Greetings,
You have identified the setbacks and what you need to work upon. That's your first win! Congratulations!!!
Your situation is gloomy, hence you are definite to feel down and out. Here's my words:
- Before you judge yourself further, think about those who are equally lost and don't even know what's bothering them!
- Give yourself time. Graduation is a step that will happen to you. You are blessed to have a job and a boss who is supportive. Build your professional competencies.
- Working as an HR is a dream for many, look, you already got it! Now plan one step at a time.
- Groom your management skills from your current job.
- Aim for the technical skills in the long term.
- Train and teach yourself, and then try teaching someone. It doesn't matter what level you teach. It will boost your confidence beyond your imagination. You need to build on that, so plan for it.
- Once you are considerably more confident, plan for your degree. Take the accurate guidance for each paper at a time and clear it.
- The industry doesn't just need young people with a degree. It needs trained professionals with strong work ethics. Do you realize this is exactly what your situations are building you for?
There is no end date to strike the gold. So go for it! We are confident you will make far past, beyond what you are estimating yourself now!

Dear Friend,
I have provided the following story for motivational purposes.
A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him, then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are employed," he said. "Give me your email address, and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start."
The man replied, "But I don't have a computer, neither an email." "I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job."
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes door to door.
In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times and returned home with $80.
The man realized that he could survive this way and started going out every day earlier and returning late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family's future and decided to have life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked for his email.
The man replied, "I don't have an email."
The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet you have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!"
The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"
Moral of the story:
1. Internet is not the solution to your life.
2. If you don't have the internet and work hard, you can become a millionaire.
Education is not a barrier in your life. If you have ideas and tactfulness, you can come up in your life and achieve your goals.
Please bear in mind that no work is inferior unless you do it wholeheartedly. You will not feel bored and tired if you do it with passion.
Once you realize in which area you are lacking, please try to rectify yourself and improve in those areas. Otherwise, you can develop in alternative areas where you have an interest to learn, succeed, and achieve.
All the best, Friend.

Dear All,
Well said, Baskar and other fellow members. Education alone is not the stepping stone for the future. You can build your own castles without proper education. What you need is ATTITUDE. Keep on trying. If you are fed up with Engineering studies, just wash it off and start with some other fascinating studies.

Dear friend,
Welcome to CiteHR.com!
I agree with the inputs from (Cite Contribution) and S. Bhaskar. A life without any adversity or challenges is meaningless and dull. A person faces testing times to the extent of their abilities, and overcoming such drawbacks brings out the best in a person and helps them grow.
Despair and sorrow will only chain you harder to this miserable state of life. Now that you have been able to identify the impediments, start working on them. Take it as a commitment towards yourself and others for whom you can be of service or help. As you keep working at it, you'll discover yourself and your abilities growing to the extent that sooner (and not later) you'll overcome the setbacks in your life and find yourself emerging as a much stronger person.
I am confident that soon you'll be a source of inspiration, strength, and guidance to others who find themselves in a similar situation.
Warm regards.

Tell a person who was born without problems, we have to bravely encounter all the humps/hurdles which are on our way. If you start worrying about the past, you will suffer from insomnia (as you said). Graduation is a certificate of your academic qualification. Not obtaining a certificate does not mean your career is doomed. Failure is the pathway to success. If you study history, you will find that all stories of success are also stories of great failures. But people don't see the failures. Don't lose heart. All the best.

Dear Tanaya,
We all have people ahead of us, all the time. It does not remain limited to our student life and career but extends beyond that. The paradox lies in perception. Whoever we presume is better than us surely envies something about us! Our concept of benchmarking and measuring ourselves is skewed beyond our very own imaginations!

Dear Cite.hr.here and others in similar positions,
At the outset, let me apologize for the long message. I usually ask questions and do not give advice. However, I am making an exception in this case.
People have given good advice. For example, how true is what (Cite Contribution) says. It's all due to our skewed perceptions. I have seen posts in the past about the difference between a pessimist and an optimist: Is the cup half full or half empty? Kindly see Is Your Cup Half Full or Half Empty? - Robert J. Parsons (link updated to site home) (Search On Cite | Search On Google) from where I have taken the following extract. It has more examples too. Please do not be put off by the fact that it is a religious site.
"So how are we looking at our cup? How do we react to our life's challenges? I once heard a parable about a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule braying and, after a careful assessment of the situation, decided that neither the well nor the mule were worth saving. He enlisted his neighbors to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially the old mule was hysterical. But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, he would shake it off and step up. This he did, blow after blow: shake off the dirt and step up, shake it off and step up, shake it off and step up. It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped over the wall and out of the well. If we face our challenges and problems in the same way and respond to them in a positive way, we, too, can realize the benefit of our choice to see the cup as half full."
No doubt a degree gives one an edge for entering employment. Then it is what we do once in that determines if we progress or not.
Let me ask Cite.hr.here a couple of questions. The mere fact that you got 70% in 10th and 12th shows that you are academically sound. Did you want to study engineering, or were you forced/influenced by what your parents wanted or your peers did? I had a friend who wanted to study arts but due to parental pressure, he went to study BSc and could not complete it even after 12 attempts years ago. However, he joined Kirlosker Electric as a quality inspector and had a happy married life with 2 kids.
Those who think a degree is a must for success please see EduVARTA: Using SMS to educate rural youth! - Rediff.com Business. There are many examples such as this if we search the web, where people without qualification or money have, by their sheer determination, succeeded.
Unlike 50 years ago when I graduated, now we have part-time evening and weekend courses and even distance learning facilities, which you can make use of and get a qualification.
If the above message is not motivating, kindly see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OULo1cWEdvA and see if that gives you the motivation to succeed. Also, see and listen to Swami Anubhavananda's discourses on being Happy at http://www.google.co.uk/#q=swami+anu...b2363fffcc0d23

Do not keep brooding! It is always good to have a graduation degree, and you can plan to do graduation through correspondence from IGNOU.
We all fail at some point or the other, but what matters is your will to strike back! Get up, wipe the dust off, and start running. However, make sure you have absolute clarity of the directions!

The great thing I have is a gift that I can see where I’m going and need to be.
Like when I sat down and said, “I want to be Mr. Universe.” I saw myself onstage, holding the trophy, and hundreds of bodybuilders below me.
This is the vision I had. The same when I got into movies or ran for governor. People told me I’d never make it with the accent. But I had no doubt whatsoever. I just calmly moved forward.

All said and done here, which is always nice to have in mind, I am going to share with you something that has helped me till date and will surely help me for life, and beyond. I request you to not discard it as a religious irrational thought, and take it with an open mind.
The thought is this: Everything that happens with each one of us, every single day, happens according to His divine planning for us. It doesn't consider what we think should happen to us, but is in exact alignment with what is the best for us, in the long term. Every event has a purpose to it, every experience is needed to give us the lesson that will shape us to get out the best that lies within. We need to have these lessons in this way only, so as to learn it for life.
Hence, all we can do is do whatever we can, with full-heart efforts, and enjoy the process. What we can control is our internal feeling, and not necessarily what happens outside us. That is because we are in charge of what keeps going on in the world within us, not outside us.
What I am talking about is in an entirely different perspective, and if you can digest it in that way, this feeling will accompany you for life and strengthen you to face any situations with guts.
God Bless us all...

Bro, first thing... No one here is totally dependent on graduation certificates (believe me, you can get them by throwing some money at brokers). Secondly, nowadays, many companies are looking for people who are undergraduates. Thirdly, companies mainly look for talent in candidates, not just certificates, etc. So, don't overreact to your situation and avoid falling into depression.
All the best for your future.

I can understand your situation! Working with a recruitment firm is not your final goal. Moreover, after a few years, you will feel like going deeper into HR. I would suggest some points below:
1. Don't lose hope; have self-belief.
2. Don't worry too much as you have already entered into recruitment, which is the first step to HR. So, sleep tight.
3. Do you have your last semester mark sheet? If yes, that will also suffice to at least get into a company. If your work is remarkable, no company will fire you just for the sake of your credentials.
4. Go to the bookstore and buy a very good HR-related book. Study deeply and become a master so that at the time of the interview, you can have ample theoretical HR knowledge to convince the interviewer.
5. Read CITE HR every day. Here, you will find live case studies, formats, and everything related to HR.
6. Have very deep knowledge of MS Excel, especially VLOOKUP and PIVOT TABLE.
I'm sure that if you follow all these points, you will reach a level of satisfaction and receive a good response from HR.

Hi,
I am here to share my own story.
After passing the 12th standard, I was unable to continue my studies further. I joined a big corporation as an Office Boy with a salary of Rs. 850/- in 2005. Then, after six months, with my salary savings, I enrolled in a B.B.A course in Distance Mode.
I realized that proficiency in M.S. Office was essential for office work. In 2007, I enrolled in a computer center and learned M.S. Office through evening classes. The teachers there did not teach me well, so I took it upon myself to study the M.S. Office material and became proficient in it. I even started teaching my superiors easy shortcuts and solutions. My qualifications in B.B.A and MS Office led to my appointment as an Office Assistant in 2008.
Understanding the importance of network and hardware solutions, I studied network and hardware basics through evening classes. This further advanced my designation to O.A cum EDP.
As I progressed in my career, I decided to pursue an MBA in distance mode with a major in HR, building on my B.B.A background. Some people suggested that learning Tally would be beneficial for payroll and other statutory work, so I enrolled in Tally ERP classes in the evenings.
In 2011, I obtained my MBA degree, with one year of experience in the HR field, along with qualifications in MS Office, Network and Hardware Basics, and Tally ERP. These credentials secured my current position as an Accountant cum HR Assistant in a private company with a salary of Rs. 10,500/-.
In conclusion, "Work hard, do everything with perfection, continue learning, seek advice from elders and superiors, stay focused, and believe in a higher power. Success is achievable."
If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.

Dear Friend,
First and foremost, on behalf of the CiteHR team, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU IN ADVANCE!" Secondly, God has blessed you with a job already even before you could complete your graduation.
As (Cite Contribution) has already mentioned, becoming an HR professional and entering that particular field is a dream for many. Human Resource Management is an ongoing process with a wide scope as it involves managing people who, in turn, manage the machines.
You have a great opportunity in this field. Therefore, I urge you to stop worrying solely about your graduation and focus on other things that lie ahead. My suggestion to you is to consider taking up an advanced course in HRM to pave your way towards the future.
BE POSITIVE, THINK POSITIVE :) You are a wonderful lady, and I am confident that you can excel.
Please understand that not all successful individuals need to be at the top of their class. Each person has a unique talent bestowed upon them by God, so make use of yours and overcome any negative mindset.
Everyone is unique, and I can assure you that no one is like YOU, and there will never be another YOU in this world. Therefore, do not dwell on your friend who may have faced a similar situation to yours. At least you have taken the initiative to seek help, showing a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
NEVER GIVE UP, GIRL! I am certain you are going to shine!

Hi all,
Solutions according to me:
1) You can take small courses that are not very costly and can help you get a job even if you are not a graduate, such as fashion design, beauty parlor, event management, photography, etc.
2) You can start your own business that requires less capital, such as a home-made tiffin service, child daycare center, etc. After earning some money, you can complete your education if you want to pursue a career as an engineer.
3) Continuously motivate yourself; even if you are not a graduate, you are not uneducated.

But, you know, I don't like to work for someone because my attitude doesn't allow me to do it. So, don't regret that you haven't completed your English and all.

Plagiarized!
The following should be an eye-opener for freshers, more to the point, who are frustrated!
At a time when the Indian judicial system is mired in controversy, thanks to the likes of KG Balakrishnan and PD Dinakaran, comes a man with the courage and the integrity to say all is not well with the system.
India's 38th chief justice S H Kapadia began his life as an office assistant who ran errands at a law firm. But deep down, he wanted to study law and be a judge.
Homi Kapadia hailed from a lower-middle-class Parsi family: his father was a clerk and his mother a homemaker. Quality education was a luxury. Which is why, in 1960, he took up a humble job at the law offices of Behramjee Jeejeebhoy.
His colleagues hadn't imagined even in their wildest dreams that he would one day go on to become the chief justice of India.
A co-worker from his early years told The Indian Express, "He was a young boy when he joined us to help senior advocates carry their heavy case briefs. His self-conscious demeanor would force me to wonder at times what he was doing in such a smart law firm."
The young Sarosh first sought to help his father and finance his younger brother's education before embarking on his journey to become a lawyer.
At 27, in 1974, he became counsel for the income tax department. He was appointed additional judge of the Bombay High Court in 1991 and made a permanent judge in 1993. He decided on matters relating to the environment, banking, industries, and taxation. He also presided over the high-profile Ketan Parekh stock scandal case in 1999 and played an important role in the proceedings of the Joint Parliamentary Committee constituted to investigate the scam.
On 5 August 2003, he became the Chief Justice of the Uttaranchal High Court, and in December 2003, was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court.
Here, Kapadia delivered some landmark judgments. In one, he ruled against DNA testing in a property dispute case. He was also part of a three-member bench that heard the income tax case of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. The case went in Lalu's favor.
On 12 May 2010, Kapadia was sworn in as the Chief Justice of India by President Pratibha Patil.
Soon after his appointment, Kapadia wrote to retired Justice V R Krishna Iyer, replying to his congratulatory letter, "I come from a poor family. I started my career as a class IV employee, and the only asset I possess is integrity. Even as a judge of the Supreme Court, I have used my knowledge of accounts and economics for the welfare of the downtrodden, including tribals and workmen. I hope to fulfill my obligation to the Constitution in the matter of achieving the goal of inclusive growth."
His actions, after he took over, clearly show that he is here to set the judicial house in order.
Kapadia has warned against frivolous public interest litigation (PIL). "Huge costs will be imposed against those filing frivolous PILs," Kapadia said during a hearing. But the Indian courts are choked with cases filed by frivolous litigants who, for example, want to teach their political and business rivals a lesson. Citizens hope Kapadia will deal with them as firmly.
Reviving judicial activism
Kapadia was instrumental in asserting the supremacy of the apex court by exposing the irregularities in the telecom sector. He has ordered a thorough probe into the 2G spectrum scam and told the CBI to investigate the process of granting licenses which caused the Indian exchequer huge losses.
In fact, a Supreme Court bench questioned PM Manmohan Singh's inaction and silence on the 2G spectrum scam and asked the center to file an affidavit on the PM's silence on Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy's petition seeking action against A Raja.
Kapadia is a judge who is unafraid of the politically powerful. In the latest case, he has unseated central vigilance commissioner PJ Thomas and rattled the power elites of the nation. In 2010, a bench headed by him had questioned the appointment of Thomas as the CVC when he faced charges of corruption in the palmolein import case. The appointment of Thomas had been challenged in two public interest petitions, one of them filed by former chief election commissioner JM Lyngdoh.
When it comes to PILs with merit, Kapadia has been sympathetic. In another landmark ruling, the Supreme Court said mentally challenged rape victims could have babies.
A bench headed by Kapadia ruled in favor of a 20-year-old woman, raped at Nari Niketan, an institution run by the Chandigarh administration. She wanted to have the baby, but the Chandigarh administration moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, citing it was in the best interest of the mother to undergo an abortion, to which the court gave a go-ahead. The Supreme Court overturned the verdict, saying that human rights for a disabled woman in state custody should be strengthened, not weakened.
When it comes to human rights, the Supreme Court under Kapadia has held that narco-analysis, brain-mapping, and polygraph tests on suspects can only be done if the suspect agrees to undergo such tests.
In another important verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that the governor of a state could not be removed if he/she does not agree with the policies or ideologies of the union government or with the party in power at the center. It also ruled that the state government could not remove a governor on the grounds that it has lost confidence in him/her.
The rigorous intent with which the apex court has pursued a wide range of cases has given new hope to ordinary citizens. Kapadia's efforts could repair the damage that our judicial system has suffered during the tenure of Balakrishnan.

You may replace them with Lord Shree Krishna and Geeta or with any other deity you have faith in. Please do read it and revert back. Wish you all the best.

Hi Friend,
As Mr. Sethupathy said, if you are fed up with the engineering studies, just wash it off and start with some other fascinating studies.
I have 5 years of experience in HR recruitment, specifically in a consultancy. Recently, I got an opportunity as an HR Generalist in an MNC.
I am also 24 years old now. When I started my career, I was in my 2nd year of B.Com. I completed my 1st year in college, but due to financial constraints, I discontinued and completed my 2nd and 3rd years through correspondence. I managed all expenses by doing part-time jobs. My day would start at 5 AM with tutoring for 10th and 12th standard students, followed by a data entry job, college, coaching classes for myself, and then more tutoring in the evenings. I would reach home by 10:30 PM. I also worked as a part-time Front Office Executive, earning a salary of 1025 per month. I then seized an opportunity in a consultancy to work as an HR recruiter, the same consultancy that placed me as a front office executive. Now, even without an MBA, I hold a good position in a reputable company with a salary of 18KPM. Experience and confidence truly matter. If you lack confidence in completing your engineering degree, consider switching to an MBA or any postgraduate course related to HR, especially since you are an HR Trainee now. Pursue an undergraduate degree through correspondence while keeping your current job.
Based on my experience, education is crucial. Regardless of your skills, having basic qualifications is essential. I have encountered many candidates like you. I recommend pursuing an undergraduate degree in any specialization like BA, B.Com, or BBA. However, in B.Com and BBA, you will encounter accounts, which can be challenging if you lack the basics. If you excel in theory, opt for BA. Subsequently, pursue a postgraduate degree or PG Diploma in HR Specialization from a reputable university. This journey will take at least 5 years to complete your undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
Alternatively, if you have an interest in computers, consider pursuing CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) or MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). These certifications can be completed in a few months but are relatively expensive. However, they significantly enhance your employability in good companies with decent pay. I am not well-versed in computers, but if you are interested, I can gather more information and provide details.
Maintain your confidence. Each person possesses the talent to achieve something significant; identify yours and harness it. Wishing you all the success.

Supraja

I would reach home by 10:30 PM. I also worked as a part-time Front Office Executive, earning a salary of 1025 per month. I then seized an opportunity in a consultancy to work as an HR recruiter, the same consultancy that placed me as a front office executive. Now, even without an MBA, I hold a good position in a reputable company with a salary of 18KPM. Experience and confidence truly matter. If you lack confidence in completing your engineering degree, consider switching to an MBA or any postgraduate course related to HR, especially since you are an HR Trainee now. Pursue an undergraduate degree through correspondence while keeping your current job.
Based on my experience, education is crucial. Regardless of your skills, having basic qualifications is essential. I have encountered many candidates like you. I recommend pursuing an undergraduate degree in any specialization like BA, B.Com, or BBA. However, in B.Com and BBA, you will encounter accounts, which can be challenging if you lack the basics. If you excel in theory, opt for BA. Subsequently, pursue a postgraduate degree or PG Diploma in HR Specialization from a reputable university. This journey will take at least 5 years to complete your undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
Alternatively, if you have an interest in computers, consider pursuing CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) or MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). These certifications can be completed in a few months but are relatively expensive. However, they significantly enhance your employability in good companies with decent pay. I am not well-versed in computers, but if you are interested, I can gather more information and provide details.
Maintain your confidence. Each person possesses the talent to achieve something significant; identify yours and harness it. Wishing you all the success.

Thank you, Supraja, and other fellow members for giving tremendous suggestions and advice to Mr. Stephen. I hope he has received enough advice, suggestions, and confidence. Stay positive, think positively, and never lose your confidence. Let me share my experience with you. I failed in 12th grade, and that too in two major subjects. However, I never lost my confidence. I retook the exams the following month, in June, and cleared two papers. I then pursued BBA and later an MBA, where I graduated with distinction. Now, I am working as a Senior HR Executive in a reputed firm. Stephen, I understand your situation, so there is no need to worry. Confidence is a vital aspect of life for everyone. Never lose your confidence. Work on developing your communication skills and let us know your areas of interest so that we can provide more suggestions.

Dear Friend,
I am sorry for the problem you are facing. If you have scored 70% and more in 10th & 12th, then that means you are a good student. Tell me one thing, are only people who study B.Tech qualified, and no other qualification is good enough to get a job? Why don't you explore some good opportunities in other streams and go for private courses while working in another field like BSc, B.Com, BBA, etc.? If you feel you have wasted a lot of time in B.Tech, then just get over it and go for something else. I have many friends who did that and are working well now. You already have experience, all you need is a degree. Go for IGNOU and complete your education through part-time or correspondence courses. But don't ever give up your hopes. Just get a degree and then switch over your job. There is no problem that has no solution.
All the best...!!!

23 years old. Still not able to complete graduation. Will I get a job anywhere?
Dear 23,
Be always positive and analyze yourself. Consider conducting a SWOT analysis:
S - Strengths,
W - Weaknesses,
O - Opportunities, and
T - Threats.
Think carefully; your intuition will guide you towards the right path. Make a thoughtful decision: pursue a job or start your own business based on your financial situation. Remember, self-confidence is your greatest asset.

Don't get depressed. Many people who studied masters and PhDs are working as low-level employees in many small firms.

Thank you all for motivating me. I did not expect such an overwhelming response here. These stories have really motivated me, and I have tears in my eyes now.
As I said, I'm a 23-year-old female, so I can't give another 5 years to my studies. As all of you must know, how important it is for a girl in India to complete her studies on time. So please, if any of you could suggest a University or college from where I can just get a degree while continuing my job.
Also, I heard that IGNOU is difficult to pass. So please suggest any other Open university apart from that.
Can I do a 1 or 2-year diploma from an open university? Will that be enough to get me a job in the future? Or is graduation necessary?

I don't think a 1- or 2-year diploma is equal to graduation.
In some companies, graduation is considered as 10+2+3 (UG/Diploma). However, pursuing a degree is more valuable than completing a 3-year diploma course. No matter what position you hold, all companies typically prefer degree holders. The reason behind this preference is that, envision after 5 or 10 years, if you are in a managerial role in your current company, consider your subordinates. Most of them are likely to be postgraduates as the younger generation today tends to prioritize postgraduate qualifications before employment.
I acknowledge that there are a few individuals who have achieved success in life without being graduates, but it is important to note that these instances are rare. If you happen to be among them, that's great. However, if you are not, it's crucial to recognize that successful individuals without a degree are the exception rather than the rule. Taking risks in life, especially during this valuable time that will not come back, is not advisable. Pursuing a degree is the safer choice. You may consider universities like Bharathithasan University, Annamalai University, or Bharathiyar University.
Please do not interpret my words as demotivation. For instance, my uncle is an accounting expert with 20 years of experience. He can solve any problem swiftly and is adept at auditing. Despite his skills, due to the lack of a degree, he remains in a senior executive position with a CTC of 20K.
Do not take chances. My advice to you is to pursue graduation. The decision ultimately rests with you.

Good that you are upset - you should be. Learn something from this and work hard at getting better at whatever you are good at and getting out of that environment if that is what is holding you back.
I would tell you how many times I've failed - but that doesn't really matter. We are all different and things work out differently for each one of us. The problem is always just one thing - choice - you now have to choose what you are going to do about this and work to make things better.

Dear Anand (If I may address you thus),
CHR has given you some sound advice based on limited information about your course.
Please provide more information about how you performed in your studies before joining the degree course, what subjects interest you, your aspirations in life, and your financial circumstances. Also, kindly inform us if you have analyzed the reasons for your previous academic setbacks.
Let me provide a couple of examples. One of my friends did not complete his degree at all. He, like most of us of that generation, was compelled to pursue a BSc degree with the hope of transitioning to engineering or medicine, fields that offered the most opportunities. However, my friend's strengths lay in the arts subjects. Consequently, he faced failures in the final exams, failing in subjects like Maths in one attempt, Physics in another, and so forth. Fortunately, he managed to secure a job as an inspector in a company.
I am familiar with more cases like these. In another instance, a student failed his exams due to excessive anxiety during the examination period. He sought help from a psychologist who assisted him in managing his nerves before the exams, ultimately enabling him to pass with flying colors.
Please feel free to share more details so that we can offer you more tailored advice.

Dear 
Your post has unearthed a gold mine from the archives of Cite HR. I came across this long lovely compendium thanks to your reviving the post. Times may change but not our positive attitude. If you read all the previous posts in this thread, I am sure you will be positive and energetic. After all, more than one does not get it right in the first instance or for that matter in many trials. DO NOT GIVE UP. Attempt differently. The same environment which you feel is mocking at you will start praising you. Everything is in your hands. Start believing in yourself.
Failure is the chance given to you to begin all over again. This time the task will be done wisely because of the lesson learned in failure. Couple of popular messages for pep up:
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is real: Work on it." No substitute for work, and there is nothing to beat hard work. Make sure that 'Attitude' always remains positive to be the driving force.
Now the second motivator:
"Past brings tears. Thought of the future brings jitters. Present is pleasant." How to make the present pleasant lies in your attitude and work. Cheer up and Good luck.
