When the result of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG) 2024 was released, many students could not get the marks as expected. In such a situation, many students may feel that there is no way left for them to study further. But the truth is that getting low marks does not mean that all the doors of your career are closed.

You still have many such options available which can give you a good future. If you wish to study abroad, then despite getting low marks in CUET, you can fulfill your dream. Admission is given in many universities abroad based on 12th marks or other examinations.

The Government of India and International Organizations also provide many types of scholarships which can help you financially. Such as the Fulbright-Kalam Climate Fellowship, National Foreign Scholarship Scheme, and Goa Education Trust Scholarship. With the help of these options, you can make your career by studying abroad.

A study from an open university
If going abroad is not possible, then India's open universities are also a great option for you. The biggest feature of an open university is that you can study from home and the fees are also very low. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Delhi University's Open Learning Department, and Dr. BR Ambedkar Open University are some of the prominent names where you can do good courses. Even after getting a degree from these universities, there are many opportunities for jobs.

Direct admission can be found in private universities
Many private universities in the country give direct admission to students even without CUET scores. Institutes like Amity University (Noida) provide professional courses as well as campus placement and internship facilities. If you want to move forward in a particular field, then this can prove to be a good option.

Make a career with vocational courses.
If you want to become an expert in a particular skill, then vocational courses will be right for you. Nowadays, courses like graphic design, fashion design, event management, digital marketing, photography, nursing, painting, yoga, and singing have become very popular. With these courses, you can not only start work early but can also open your own business.

Increase skills with certificate courses
If you are unable to get admission to any institute or do not want to waste a year, then certificate courses can also be a better option for you. Such courses teach a particular skill in a short time. Institutes like Delhi's Directorate of Training and Technical Education offer many courses like dressmaking, cosmetology, food production, and electronic mechanics to 12th-pass students.

Finally, understand this.

Getting low marks in CUET UG does not mean that your future is spoiled. You just need the right information and direction. Whichever of the above-mentioned options seems right according to your interest and situation, you can make your dreams come true by adopting it. The doors are still open, just move forward with courage.
