2. Job At MNC

Still confused about which masters to go for? Joining a job immediately after graduation is very often suggested when one wants to “explore” his options.

3. Join a Start-Up

Is the normal 9-5 out of the question and boring? Joining a startup immediately puts you in a very demanding role with a really creative environment. You are open to experiment with new ideas and present them directly to your immediate bosses. You actually contribute to some action rather than wasting yourself in some excel sheet or telephone calls.

4. Masters

Certificate /Short-term courses at DU really add to one’s resume. You can also do various diploma courses where eligibility fits.

6. Drop / Gap Year

Can’t make up your mind? A gap year is often the choice of young graduates who can’t lock their mind on one thing or have to prepare for entrance exams. The gap year is usually filled by travelling abroad or by excelling on some hobbies attention to which was long overdue. It is often characterized by the expression “on a break”.

7. Become Self Employed

Hitting the adventure tracks? When neither working under someone nor studying further sound interesting, people usually “start-up”.  All is you need is a good idea and even better funds (or angel investors).  If you have anything that you can sell, right now is the best time to experiment and adventure. After all, what is there to lose?

8. Social Volunteer

Got a calling from conscience? After three years in college, especially DU, except education one becomes well versed with the social issues that our society still faces and often people start to work for the service of mankind. One can join NGOs or clubs like Rotary Club or can even associate with political parties NSUI (Congress), ABVP (BJP) etc. to bring about the changes that we all wish to see.

9. Freelance

Can’t commit? Freelancing is basically working on contract basis. Jobs or internships bind someone to work with them with their hours and deliverables etc. but when freelancing, one is free to choose their boss with each project. For e.g., as a freelance web designer, you can first build a website for one company, then go to another etc.

10. Prepare for Government Exams

IBPS PO, SBI PO, SSC CGL, LIC AOO, and UPSC: – if these resembled some jumbled alphabets, I can assure you that you aren’t considering government jobs as a career choice. Government jobs are probably the most comfortable jobs with less over time and so many perks. Indian Railways and RBI Grade B Examination are also top career gateways masses run after.

11. Clean Up Your Social Media Accounts

Except hurriedly running into jobs, masters, there’s another important thing one should do after graduation: ‘TRANSFORM’.  The college has been amazing and if your Instagram account still has those “I am so drunk” posts, I am sure, privacy settings need to be revisited. This is the best time to clean up your accounts since companies also track them to judge your suitability for a job. Furthermore, this is also the time to say goodbye to negative people and fill your life with things you love.
