Indian students should follow a structured roadmap to achieve academic and career success. First, identify your interests and strengths early, especially after 8th or 10th class. Choose the right stream in intermediate (Science, Commerce, or Arts) based on your career goals. Develop strong communication skills, basic computer knowledge, and practical skills along with academics. Explore entrance exams, scholarships, internships, and online certifications to improve your profile. Finally, focus on continuous learning, time management, and self-discipline to build a successful and future-ready career.
