Feeling Stuck in My Career Without 10th and 12th Marksheets – What Are My Options?

Hello everyone, I would like to understand, I have completed my B.Com in 2016 from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (Distance Education) without giving the 10th and 12th exams. (To get admission, you have to clear the entrance exam and you can opt for B.Com, B.A, or B.Sc.). So, now I don't have the 10th and 12th Marksheet.

I have 4 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, currently working in an MNC. They hired me and took exceptional approval from the director.

Now I feel like I'm stuck in the same company and can't join any other company.

What should I do now?

Should I go and enroll for the 10th via NIOS?

Why are you feeling stuck?

Is there any reason related to your qualification? I believe that education matters a lot, but many times your core experience in the industry leverages your career growth. Anyhow, completing 10th and 12th grade will be worth it to fill the gap. Education is important, but more important is your knowledge and skills acquired on the ground and their best application in the growth of your career.

Many times, employers ask for formal qualifications as a basis for selection. So, keeping in mind the requirement for qualifications such as degrees or postgraduate credentials, consider joining night classes or correspondence courses from recognized colleges, universities, or institutes to obtain formal degrees. However, what will subsequently help in career progress are your skills and talents, which you have in abundance.

It is just a matter of time to get a qualification. Stick with your current job, and then apply for new jobs once you have the minimum qualifications needed.

The Value of 10th and 12th Certificates After Completing B.Com

After completing a B.Com from a recognized university, is there any point in pursuing 10th or 12th? I believe one should consider enrolling in a postgraduate program or a worthwhile diploma instead. The 10th/12th certificate used to serve as a reference point for date of birth and caste matters. However, now Aadhar has become the primary reference for both. In my opinion, obtaining 10th/12th certificates may not hold much productive value, and the individual seeking advice can opt for further education in a field of interest if desired.

I don't understand how any university can bypass the education system and award a degree to someone who does not meet the basic requirements. Either the university is fake or not approved, or there is certainly some issue with your certificates.
