‘OUTSTANDING SCORES’ surely ensure dream colleges or courses, but can it decide the future? Well, the answer is a straight ‘NO’! In the long run, it’s your talent, skill and intelligence that will shape up your destiny!
While talking about 12th board exams, your grades can take you one step closer to your goals, but surely cannot ensure a flourishing career! If you stay focussed about your career, have strong determination, or know what you want to achieve in life, you can easily outshine others even if your grades were low!
In case, you too have scored 80% or below in CBSE-2017 or are confused about what to do next, here are some of the options that can ensure a better and promising career in the long run:
1. Between 90-99.6%:
The world is yours now! Your efforts, dedication and devotion towards your studies have been rewarded. You can go ahead and pick the college or courses of your choice. However, if you are planning to pursue your graduation in streams like Economics or B. Com with honours, you might need to wait till the colleges issue the second cut-off list.
Most of the reputed colleges for these two streams always ask for more than 95%. However, if you are confident on your skill-sets and career objectives, you can always have a Plan-B on choosing colleges!
2. Between 80-90%:

Considering the fact, a total of around 73,338 students secured above 90% (10,091 above 95% & 63,247 above 90%) in CBSE 2017, it might take time for the colleges to decide the second, third or fourth cut-off list. Keeping this in mind, it would be wise to compromise with your college selection and concentrate mainly on the courses.
3. Between 70-80%:

If luck don’t favour at the first shot, never think of giving it the second chance as options will gradually thicken. Or, if you are confused about which course to opt for, you can always break the ice by considering Mass Communication, Foreign Language and other similar courses. Entrance based courses can also be a rescuer for you!
4. Between 40-70%:
