    1. Every career has a good scope, and you can earn in Lakhs to0, but it generally depends on your hardwork, skill, and knowledge. Computer Sc. is a great field. I suggest you to choose go for some good institution like IIT or NIT or any other reputed private engineering college. It depend upon your interest to choose hardware or software, software engineering has a great scope and ample job opportunities ahead, and this in the only field which can bag you one crore salary after the completion of your course, but you must have the skills and talent to get that.

      1. After clearing 12th with bio, you can’t join computer engineering. However, if you are really interested in computer technology and software engineering, you may join BCA and then do MCA.

    1. The admission to the government engineering college will be based on your rank in JEE Main, so prepare well for the JEE Main exam and also look to score good percentage in 10+2.

    1. to be 12th pass is not important for polytechnic courses. you may appear the polytechnic examination after the completion of your 10th class.

      1. I am probably fail 12th can I want do computer science. But my problem is when I join the course? After 10th or twelve. Please help me.

      2. You can take computer science as a subject in 12th also. Although CS course means B.Tech CS or B.Sc IT. And for that you must have passed 12th and entrance exam with subjects as math chemistry and physics.
