What Your Board Score Doesn't Decide

While a good Class 12 score is important for admission to top colleges, it does not define your entire career or potential for success. Many fields value skills, practical experience, and a strong portfolio more than board percentages. You can always switch fields later in your career or acquire new skills to enter different industries. Your score is a stepping stone, not a final destination.
