Answer: I can understand the situation you are going through but don't get disheartened...life does not end if you don't complete your Engineering course. You can take up an undergraduate course either from a regular college or a correspondence course, which can atleast make you eligible to appear for other entrances. Then follow it with the higher and specialised courses. There are colleges that give admission for a regular seat despite your age. So work towards it, which course would you like to take up-BSc/BCom/BA/BBA and then start hunting for colleges. There are many private institutions also which give quality education...look out for all ossibilities..Believe in yourself.
