Besides doing a B. Tech, what other options are there for a 12th passed guy if I want to get into programming?

firstly i want to tell u that if u want to go into programming by doing something else except B.Tech then u will definately have to leave your science stream,doing that many options will be open to u.\nplz dont go for NIIT coz wht they say they really dont do it.their course of 2yrs always stretch to minimum 2 1/2 yr; saying it by personal experience.\nu can rather go for DOEACC 'O' & 'A' Level; it is government recognised.\nu can do them along with your graduation and after 'A' Level you can go for 'B' Level which is equivalent to M.Tech.\nOtherwise options of different courses in different languages  is provided by any computer institute.If you are confortable in C++ then i suggest you to go for specialised course in Java;Java is in demand and will always remain till the internet is alive.

well if you don't like programming then you should choose some other specialisation like testing or quality assurance.\nBut if you are not interested in computers then you should go for MBA, and remember one thing an MBA from a good institute is far better than MCA form any institute.\nEven if you start you life as a programmer or coder there will be one stage where you feel that i should now manage projects rather than coding them, then you will feel the need of MBA.\nS/W life is really boring and there are not much challenges.

Much depends upon what is your goal and what are your immediate expectations / responsibilities. If you want to have expertise in Computerization and various technicalities thereof better go for M.Tech. and then do MBA for increasing your acceptance in the Managerial Cadre. Best Course is to do M.Tech.; take industrial experience  and then do MBA. But don't forget to keep a track of how many years you will be spending and what will be your age then. Also consider where you are going to acquire further qualifications, here or abroad. There are good chances that you get financial assistance from day one abroad  and acquire excellent qualifications. best wishes.

I would say just get your degree.\n\nI've spent my entire career in the high tech sector - an area for Bachelor of Science degrees.\n\nAnd I have all my degrees in Bachelor of Arts...\n\nWhat really matters is just having a degree - from there, you can do what you want, as long as your dedicated.\n\nJust my .01\n\n-dh

I think u should ask this question from professionals.\nBut I think it doesnt have much value.U should go for B.Tech.U should have also mentioned ur CET rank.

study more, u can not get 35k+ with only 12th, \nif ur father is a industrialist then count urself lucky

As you are still a minor doing business would not be appropriate.\n\nI would advice you to sharpen your skills for the time being and enter into the real thing after you pass 12th standard. By that time you would be mature enough to take your own decisions.

Try Computer Science or Electricals. Biotech is also promising.

since there is a new breed of IT engineers you will not stand a chance against them in any arena unless you pursue higher studies.since you don't seem to have a penchant for programming i'd suggest you to try your hand at data base management or networking.off the two dba would be the best choice as it is the need of the hour.moreover software firms are expecting a shortage of manpower across the nation very soon.

why not go into computer science or something

It depends upon your interest and technologies that you are good at.\nIf u like System Programming:\n               1.Firewall\n               2. Packet Sniffer\n           Application Programming:\n                1. Some Editor\n                2. Source Safe\n           Web Programming:\n               1. Marriage Bureu\n               2. Online Shopping\nEtc.

No you cant. You need to pass the 12th boards to be able to apperar for the IIT-JEE.

Congratulations on picking such an excellent career path at such a young age!\n\nIn order for you to prepare yourself you need to have a very good understanding of math.  In your math classes always ask "how?", "why?" and "prove it for me."\n\nProgramming (what software engineers do all day) is based on describing the world in terms of math and simple commands.  Also, you should develop problem solving skills.  You will need to understand multiple ways of doing the same thing, and which one is the fastest, or which one is the most efficienty, or which one is the most convient.\n\nMy first programming language was Visual Basic.  I have since learned how to program in C++ (pronounce "see plus plus") , Java, C# (pronounce "see sharp") and a few other programming languages.  Any of those languages would be a good starting point for a beginning programmer.\n\nIf you want to start programming as soon as possible, be sure to get a good beginner's book on any of the previously mentioned programming languages.  Even if you can't write your own programs yet, nothing will beat reading a good book on the programming language you're interested in.\n\nCongratulations and good luck!

frankly - you don't need to take either of those. \n\nhowever if you are more focussed on becoming a hacker, then choose the major that has MAXIMUM PROGRAMMING involved. \n\nhere's a useful link that'll get u started\nhttp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#respect1

Focus on a degree in programming........ or networking or security

I think you should just take a few classes at a community college on programming.(thats what I am doing)

yes just find a book for beginners and start reading, u can also find someone to teach u\ntry to leran something at the beggining like basic or pascal since they are simple and they will be able to give the base for more advanced programming \nthen easily by having experience u can move to c/c++ or java\n\nif u want to learn programing dont try html or a script language, cause html is authoring and not programming and the scripting languages will hide from u some of the things that u an gain from a real programming language
