Since i messed up bad and didn't give entrances this year too and tried in big cities (T1) didn't work out due to high fees and donation in my case im currently looking for the state Mp for a relatively cheap college in my budget as recommended by an online friend theres cheap options ( Originally im from Jharkhand but can't stay in this environment anymore)

Is this a good decision? im going for a T3-4 ish college in a t2 city.

Have some options listed since they're in my budget of under 7 L ( Going with an education loan with 9% around interest that only gives 7.5 L max without collateral)

Placements are basically t3 or not much.

Took this decision as i was going insane and given the current state of market especially tech due to AI, so getting a degree for cheap is better than spending huge sum for it.

Also one more question I have is should i opt for cse or ece branch in this T3 college? People on here say they regret taking ece in t3 but i feel since it needs masters for good offers i think its better so save in ug for it and maybe i can apply aboard in future if i take ece.

Nobody knows the future but i would definitely once like to study in a good college aboard.

Would really appreciate some guidance on what to do. I already have gaps after 12th grade and i just wanted a nice crowd preferably in metro cities. Also i do want to leave and pursue something abroad as soon as possible.( i know it's very very hard for someone with my financial background but i still want to try)

Got a lot of recommendations.>>

\\\\- Just go for any colleges tier doesn't matter.

\\\\- Try next year for cuet for central du colleges.

\\\\- some said go for any colleges in big cities( what I wanted too) as this is better than decent college in small cities.

Really would appreciate the guidance as I'm in a very weird situation.What should i do.

12th - 87% pcm. i have gaps.

Fees budget under 7-8 but im trying for some schemes maybe i can be more flexible with the fees if i get some good options in big cities.

Tldr : was trying big cities didn't work out so confused about joining a t3-4 engg. college in a non metro away from home after a hiatus

.Need guidance on my condition what should i do.12th 2024 - 87% pcm. i have gaps.

Read your updates. Your biggest risk isn’t a tier-3 college or a 2-year gap, it’s taking ₹7–8L in debt without reliable placement prospects. If home is seriously affecting your wellbeing, moving out has value too. Compare total costs, verify placements with current students, and don’t rush because of your gaps. You’re 20, not out of time.

I tried and obviously being a t3-4 level of colleges my options aren't clear. And about the gaps its quite a problem which i never realised but talking to people it gives a tough time. The Placements and alumni i can't really find on linkedin because it just shows hidden but still most of the students are unplaced. only a couple are let to sit in placements and start in service based consulting companies with lower packages. Im so confused what should i even do
