I’m quite strong in math and so I believe I can make a good engineer in future. If I go for commerce, I’ll be wasting my time because I don’t like finance much. Even my parents want me to do something in the field of science and technology but given my lack of interest in studies last year, I’m stuck with a marksheet that won’t let me get anywhere. I’m thinking of sitting for the SSC exams once again. This means one year will go waste. But I don’t know whether that’s permitted.
