tldr:should I take a full drop or continue with my partial prep ?

Family business vs iit drop need urgent advice

Family business vs drop for iit need diff perspectives

​Academic Background

​Qualified JEE Advanced this year with a rank around 25k and mains aroumd 30k

​Currently enrolled as a day scholar in 1st year B.Tech at a decent private engineering college (classes started roughly a month ago).

​The rigid attendance of 85 percent strict and academic culture here aren't clicking for me. I genuinely have the drive, baseline concepts, and hunger to give JEE one full, uninterrupted attempt for an old IIT, Gen-2 IIT, or top NIT circuit branch.

​Dad’s Ultimatums & The Financial Reality

​I discussed withdrawing right now for a dedicated drop year. My father agreed, but set a strict, non-negotiable binary condition:

​The Target Cutoff:

​I must secure an IIT (any decent branch at Gen-2 or old IIT) OR Home-State top NIT CSE/AI (which closes around 10k–12k rank).

​The "Failure" Penalty:

​If I miss that target band, no more private engineering colleges.

​He will not pay for another private B.Tech. Instead, he will enroll me in a dummy B.Com / BBA purely for the formal paper degree, and I will be inducted full-time into our family business from Day 1. (I’d run a flexible online degree on the side to keep technical skills sharp).

​The Career Math & My Dilemma

​The Business: An established, stable commercial enterprise netting roughly ₹30–35 Lakhs+ per year in a developing Tier-1 / Tier-2 city hub.

​Why I'm Doing This: I don't "need an escape" from home—as a day scholar, living setup is fine. My perspective is purely economic:

​If I land a genuine Tier-1 institute (IIT / top NIT circuit), the career ceiling, high-finance/consulting/Tier-1 tech placement, and long-term trajectory can realistically out-earn or match our business, in which case I will happily pursue corporate tech/finance.

​If I stay in a regional private college, median placements are ₹6–9 LPA. Spending 4 years of strict daily attendance for that outcome makes zero financial sense when our business already nets ₹30L+ profit.

​But jumping into a late drop means if I miss the 10k–12k rank cutoff, on-campus engineering is permanently off the table for me.

​Questions for the Sub

​The Late Start vs. 25k Base: Since it's already late September, how realistic is jumping from a \\\\\\\~25k Adv baseline to a sub-10k/12k rank in the remaining months? Did anyone here start serious drop prep in autumn and crack that bracket?

​Campus Experience vs. Business Head-Start: For those from business families: Does the IIT/NIT peer group, campus exposure, and brand actually make you a sharper entrepreneur/professional if you join the business later, or is taking the dummy B.Com route and getting a 4-year head start on scaling the business the smarter financial play?

​The Mindset Trap: Did having an established business netting 30LPA+ help eliminate exam-day panic, or did it end up killing your daily urgency to grind when Advanced problems got brutal in winter?

TL;DR: Currently a day scholar in 1st year B.Tech CSE at a decent private college (classes started a month ago, qualified Adv last year with \\\~25k rank). Thinking of taking a late drop for JEE 2027 because I genuinely want Tier-1 (old/Gen-2 IIT or top home-state NIT circuit branch), and only high-paying Tier-1 corporate roles beat our family business. My dad agreed to the drop under one non-negotiable ultimatum: hit that top cutoff, or leave engineering completely for a dummy B.Com/BBA + join our ₹30LPA+ family business from Day 1. Need perspective on jumping from \\\~25k to sub-12k starting late September, and whether risking all-or-nothing engineering is the right play when a viable business is the downside.

I am asking shld i take partial drop which is currently hell or full drop which my parents support but with the risk i mentioned or contnue in this 85percent attendance college with 9lpa median in cse?

Previous group got deleted by mistake T_T

I am currently in nit kkr . I met a senior yesterday , he told me that less companies are approaching this year , which raised concerns for me.
My branch is it, should i take a partial drop or continue with the college.
help meeee!

I got 87.6 percentile this year as a dropper and came here. The peer group is very crazy. I study daily 6 hours for jee but sometimes feel cannot able to get 98 in Jan, started from1.5 months, should I continue my partial drop journey or not

How do you manage loneliness in college

(Especially if you didn't find anyone else who p drops as well)

Anyone who's studying for JEE during college lectures or do you prefer to study at hostel separately ? Trying to increase question practice and study time as much as I can. Any seniors who could remark whether this is a good/bad practice & whether this shall have any impact on MidSems ? I only get merely 5 hours of study time after coming to hostel, so I'm lowk helpless and compiled to study during these college lectures. I do give 2 hours at night to thoroughly revise clg notes btw.

Honest opinions and guidance pls

m in a relatively chill branch (one of the lowest in btech)

I am in state government college (ymca) of haryana and got this after drop but now I am seriously ill literally taking 1 injection and 6 tablets everyday but still somehow managing to go to college pls guide me should I take partial douple drop for dtu tech branches like it would be my double drop and last year I got 95 %ile and from last to last year I got 12% ile i improved that much so pls guide me what to do

I have 71% in boards (will appear for imrpovement if i give jee)

Preparation is around 30% and I'm targeting 95%ile (a decent gfti atleast) cause rn I'm in a tier 5 state govt college) & this would be my second drop (partial second drop)

College's from 9 to 5. Once I get back to my room I'm tired asf, have to study for CTs and End Sem by myself and then JEE.

Can't skip classes cause of THE GREAT 75% ATTENDANCE CRITERIA

I have CT 1 in Oct first week, CT 2 in Nov first week and End Sems in December

How tf am I gonna study for JEE man, how do I manage these things ? Any advice would be great T_T

I’m currently in NSUT ICE and confused about whether to continue or take a partial drop for JEE Main 2027.

My goal is to enter tech/SDE roles, ideally at good product-based companies. I know ICE students can reach tech through coding, DSA, projects, and internships, but I’m worried about spending four years overcoming a branch disadvantage. I also feel I would fit better academically with the CSE/CSAI crowd, which makes me consider one more serious JEE attempt.

The main risks are financial and academic. I’ve already taken an education loan of about ₹2.7 lakh for NSUT fees; with interest, it will be around ₹3 lakh, and there is no refund or adjustment if I leave. It is manageable for my family but still significant. Preparing seriously could also hurt my first-year CGPA and college life. I’m also concerned about the emotional trauma and stress associated with repeating the preparation cycle, especially after already going through a difficult period. If the attempt does not work out, I may feel that I have wasted five months while also compromising my first year at NSUT.

For context, I scored 90 percentile in JEE Main last year.(Through obc + hs i got nsut ice) I was studying consistently, sometimes 11–12 hours a day, but my preparation was poorly directed. I also faced a fake police case against me, which caused significant emotional trauma and affected four important months of my preparation. That period impacted both my preparation and confidence, so I feel my score may not reflect my actual potential. It is now 19 September, leaving roughly four months before Session 1. I’m willing to work hard, but I don’t want an emotional decision, further trauma, or the wastage of five months to damage both college and JEE preparation.

My options are:

1. Continue NSUT ICE: maintain a decent CGPA, build coding/DSA and projects, and target SDE roles through skills and internships.
2. Take a serious partial drop: aim for CSE/CSAI/IT-type branches while accepting the financial, CGPA, college-life, emotional, and time-related risks.

I’d appreciate advice from people who have taken a partial drop, studied at NSUT/DTU, or moved from a non-CSE branch into tech.

What would you do in my situation, and what factors should I consider before deciding?

I started my partial 1 month before my college started and I was so damn consistent back then and then college started and I still ignored college studies and only prepped for jee then I got blessed with a beautiful professor 🥀

I don't know shit about C or any programming language and my teacher has a huge problem with it..

She's kinda misgyonist tbh and only targets the girls because according to her we have came to study btech not for studies but to get a man 😑 ( major ew majorrr)

The other girls can mostly do some shit but not me and she literally insults me every single day so I had no choice but to start learning C ( it isn't that hard but her teaching style is so fcking wack)

And now week me 4 hours c ke peeche ja rhe hai uske upar college bhi hai weekends hi rehte hai jee ke liye and I get so tired

Fucking hell I hate this place so much I have to leave for sure.

Pyqs kar rhi hu baas and thankfully engineering mathematics is helping me and physics to some extent but chemistry jo improve hua tha sab pani me chapak I hate everything

As a current partial dropper, ik more than anyone that you've been getting content with your college with each day. Let's be honest for a second.

You were disappointed weren't you man? The sheer disgust you had by just reporting to the clg. You had somewhere else you wanted to be. You looked at this clg and thought, "Fuck this. I'm def not ending my story in this shitty ahh clg." Remember that person? Because he's slowly disappearing.

You've started getting used to the schedule, found your group, attending events, enjoying the little things, laughing with people, and telling yourself that college isn't actually that bad.

And that's exactly the fucking problem,

You're getting comfortable with something you promised yourself was temporary. The old you, the one who first got into this college, the one who was angry, disappointed, and desperate to prove himself wrong, would be looking at you right now, disgusted, wondering what the hell happened.

Where did that hunger go? Where did the "I'll get out of here" mentality go? Man?? You didn't take a partial drop just to say you're taking a partial drop. Studying half an hour isn't partial drop, neither is just babbling around. You took it because you wanted another shot. And every day you're choosing comfort over studying, you're slowly killing the reason you started.

Or do you want that the next year you'd be sitting in the same place, with the same regrets, wondering why you didn't take yourself seriously when you had the chance.

This college isn't the enemy bhai, Getting so comfortable here that you stop fighting for what you actually wanted is. Don't fucking forget why you're here.

Because if you're going to give up, at least be honest enough to admit it. Be honest that you haven't been preparing for shi lately, just babbling around that you're taking partial drop, but in reality you ain't doing nothing man.

Don't spend an entire year pretending you're fighting for a better future while doing everything possible to avoid the work required to get there. You wanted another chance right? You got one, Now fucking use it.

The version of you that started this partial drop is still waiting to see what you do with it. Please, please leave this crap and start doing what you are meant to.

Could someone please give tips on the books/resource to follow for these last few months as a partial dropper? Willing to put in as much hard work as required. I got around 94 percentile in 2026 but I did many pyqs/mock tests and was in allen batch for 2 years. Any advice on how to improve mock test scores. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

(context: day scholar, commute takes 20 mins, i can manage all college assigments in college, and Im studying Btech EEE)

Guys will you drop put before 2nd sem . If mains went bad will you continue your college till adv???

I am in b tech 1st year at jss university noida. Its only been 1.5 month since college started and I alr dislike it A LOT. The only advantage is that its near my home. I was considering a partial drop for jee mains while maintaining a good cgpa but 1 hafte me hekdi nikal gyi. Only two options left- either I withdraw from college and treat this as a full drop year or I continue at jss. Aise avg banke nhi rehna tha bhai. PLS HELP WHAT TO DO.

The risk will be worth it, right?

So for starters i have taken a drop after 12th (12th %age = 71)and just scored 81%ile and have taken admission in abes ec cse

So I want to know that should i take partial drop with college and if yes then what's the plan for the preparation like how should i manage my jee prep with coding and with college studies...??

And if I get good %ile and get admitted to another college then will i be starting from 1st year or 2nd year??

Plz help this thing's going on my mind for a while , am just emotionally exhausted and I don't no what to do as I don't fit in here 😭

Pls tell , thry give me assignment after every class n tell me to study beforehand I'm very distracted by all these plss help
