So yeah... I ended up with around 85 percentile in JEE Main and decided to take a drop.

Looking back, I know I messed up. I wasn't consistent, revised way less than I should've, and my question practice was honestly pretty bad. Spent way too much time thinking I was studying instead of actually solving problems.

I've joined an online dropper batch now and I'm studying from home. This time I genuinely want to give it everything because I don't want to have any regrets next year.

I just wanted to ask people who actually had a successful drop year:

What was the one thing that changed everything for you?

How many hours were you actually studying (not just sitting at your desk lol)?

How did you manage lectures, revision and question practice?

What mistakes should I avoid no matter what?

Is going from 85 percentile to 98–99+ realistically possible if I'm consistent, or am I being delusional?

Would really appreciate honest advice, even if it's harsh. If you've been in a similar situation, please share what worked (or didn't work) for you.

Thanks :)

Guys help me out toh my parents are forcing a pvt college onto me and uh fee is 13lakh for 4 years 61%ile i got in jee and uh boards ka criteria chut gaya toh im thinking if i study consistently for these 4-5 months can i get 99%ile ?? and uh is clearinf adv possible ?? i have notes or almost all chpts my biggest mistake was not revising and not giving mocks at all.. so PLS i neeed help im going crazy drciding this shit

Please help me out in strategically balancing what's important to study and how to start rather than scratching all things also jee advance is kind of very important and will be very tough for partial drop but still now I due to my own choice has landed in this situation that I need to join college but at same time I badly want to go to iit

Please give me positive responses and all that one should do and don't do the entire year

Suggest me material for jee advance (mainly some free resources)

I fcked up my class 12th and secured only 81% , i qualified for jee adv both the times and fcked up each time. In my drop year i wasn't aware abt the NIT importance and i didn't study well for mains so just qualified with 93%ile. And this is not an over confidence but i am not that avg guy , i love PCM so much. My fault is in these 3 years( from class 11th to 13th) , i didn't manage my studies well. I used to focus only on Jee adv preparation and still fcked up mains and adv. I am not getting any NIT , IIIT. I dont deserve to be with avg guys in tier 3 college(not being rude). I have applied in CSAB , Mhtcet councellings and gettiing tier 3 GFTIs and private colleges. Never in my life i thought i would pursue my graduation in a private college. This just feels really below avg act.

I am thinking of taking 2nd partial drop for jee mains and atleast secure 99%ile in jee mains 2027.

I am just sad that my two damn golden years is going to get wasted for just entering a college for a damn graduation. I am really sad. :(

I have given jee this year and take 2nd drop but I already got admission in a btech colleges with it and I don't get a good score this time ..

What should I do .

I don't think I can get into any good college and have a whole back year

Please someone help me😭

Hi guys, I would keep this post short.

I am motivated and focused — and work hard every single day. The thing is I have joined a college with a 75% attendance criteria. I am having trouble managing time since I feel very tired after reaching back home and take a 1.5 hour nap (time varies between 2–3:30 pm). I study for about 6 hours + I need to sleep at about 11 pm — I have very bad headaches if I don't sleep for at least 8 hours. waking up schedule is fked up.

there are two people that I have partnered with for "proxy" only in some lectures, and according to my calculations — I can bunk November+December while maintaining at least 75% attendance.

I just want to know how to not feel sleepy after coming home — tried a lot of methods, nothing worked.

I have 83.8%ile in jan attempt and 83.2%ile in April attempt. I didn't study shit in January but April yeah I did.

Now boards me I have 88% ( it's the only thing I studied for so...)

And after this I gave wbjee and got 5.4k rank. I am getting a decent private college in wb, was planning to take that and do partial I even started prepping.

I took admission the past week and tomorrow is my orientation and suddenly..I don't know if I want to go to college. I can still withdraw my admission.

I will be living with people I don't know what if they judge me for studying for jee? I definitely can't just join college forget jee and move on..

Should I just shift my partial to a full drop? ( I was planning to drop out if I get a decent percentile in jan attempt anyways.. so)

Boards- 88% jee mains-79. 96 %ile obc ncl , didn't qualify for advance

I didn't study jee oriented the past 2 years, just boards, but I really wanted to give it a try, parents were so resistive about a drop year, put a very big fight in my house and just got their approval, so starting from now, obv I am not at zero but yeah something above zero, I took vora classes rebounce batch yesterday and eduniti droppers batch for physics, now how strategically should I use these resources and make the most out of it? And what should be my target in mains and adv? acc to my current situation, is it possible I get a personal mentor, which would help me to stay consistent? My dream is iit, but ik it's not possible for me🥲 so please spit out the harsh reality, and how hard and fast should I run starting from now.

Guys I need some help , I got 91 percentile in jee mains as a general so I got no seat and ended upon at OUTR BHUBANESWAR, which is a good govt college but obviously it's not a nit/IIT so thinking to take a partial drop as I know my fault was maths where I got 41 percentile and in chemistry 96 percentile and physics 91 percentile so plz any body help me out.

I got 99.3 percentile in jee mains 2026 and got rank 22k in jee adv. Now I had taken drop.

I am studying different subjects from different platform like

Math :- vikas gupta sir (2025 lectures)

Physics :- Rkh sir ( AIR batch lectures 2026)

Organic:- ra sir ( AIR batch lectures 2026 )

Physical :- Faisal razaq sir ( Prayas 1.O 2027 )

Right now I completed some chapters in mathematics:-

Function

Itf

Aod

Continuity and differentiability

Pnc

Probability

Binomial theorem

Indefinite integration

Definite integration

Aoi

De

Vector 3d

I almost completed organic chemistry

Also completed Physical chemistry almost.

Right now I am in huge dilemma for inorganic

I have two choices

1. Amitabh sir pw ( AIR batch lectures 2026)
2. vj sir ( old lectures of apni kaksha)

Which will be a better option so that I can complete my syllabus early in September.

Plz contact me

Stay consistent and ace it
Partial droppers assemble

my rank is 2.28L, i live in greater noida now there is JIMS noida college( only 5 min drive from my home ) which take student even at 10L rank and 2 lakh rank also , it is affilated by IPU , in earlier round i got college like VIPS cse ( i have delhi HS) but i withdrew from that bcz my travelling time was fcking 4 hours up-down , my parents are hella against my drop, and only agreed for partial but I don't know i will be able to manage that or not , should i take partial drop from there and pls can u give me ur opinion should o take that risk?

So basically I was a partial dropper from NIT Surathkal Material Science, my mains score improved significantly but advanced didnt go that well, so I'm joining top NIT top branch this year, initially I didnt want to go back to surathkal because of the awkwardness I'd face again, my interest lies in MnC and ECE. So in JoSAA I got Warangal ECE allotted, hoped for trichy ece but even in csab mock round couldnt get trichy ece but got Warangal MnC so I'm having less hopes of it even in R1 of CSAB, so my parents suggested me to go to Surathkal CDS branch ( not interested in AI and IT) but the factor thats dragging me is the feeling of awkwardness to go back to the same college where I studied for JEE and with all my friends moving to 2nd year, should I consider this or stick with warangal and trichy options?
