I'm a victim of the Multi-track Education System. When I was in class IX, I had a lack of interest in classroom education. That is why I was a casual student in school. But my knowledge and interest was about science. I wanted to become an engineer or scientist.

But for the multi-track education system my schoolteachers did not allow me to the science group. So they took me as a student of commerce. Even I didn't know that commerce group is not for the engineers. It's like a forced marriage and I did not know what to do. Moreover, I was not mature enough. After that I scored good results in SSC and HSC level. Despite my good results, my destiny was not as I wanted it to be. Moreover, I didn't have the opportunity to change the track.

That is why my opinion is that under the university level you should treat students as immature and should allow track changes. Only uni-track education system could ensure this.
