The Indian system requires students to choose among the Scinece (Physics, Chemistry, Math with Econ/Computer Science/Biologya), Commerce (Math, Accountancy, Business Studies Econ) or Humanities (any 4 subjects among Math/Econ/History/Political Science/Sociology/a few others). In addition to these, English is compulsory.

I was never a Science person, I wanted to take up the Humanities stream with Econ, Math, Pol Sc and Sociology; but my parents forced me into the Science stream- Physics, Chem, Math and Econ.

My performance was really bad in Chem and Physics, and thus the low aggregate.

Worse, ^ scenario does not even qualify as a ‘special circumstance.’
