Bro doesn't have enough karma so asked me to post

Please help him he's u/H9rshith

I got 12k rank in TG EAPCET. I have options like NGIT, CMRK, Vardhaman, Geethanjali, Srinidhi, Anurag and IARE. With 12k rank I might also get MGIT, BVRIT or CVR in 3rd counselling maybe but the chances are slim. Since my house is in the centre of Hyderabad, it takes 1-2hrs for every college in this list. What do you think might be a decent college in my list considering placements, campus and college life ??

Interested in CS / allied brances only

Everyone's been bitching about EIE in VNR

Everyone's saying "you are cooked" "Worst decision"

Can someone please explain what's actually wrong??

Only other option I have is SNIST ECE....

What am I supposed to do😭

I started preparing for bitsat, but gave up now

I won't clear it anyway, probably gonna join VNR EEE or SNIST ECE

I am all alone now, started watching some series

Money heist, watched 2 eps till now

Playing games, GTA vice City on my old laptop, and free fire but it's boring to play alone

I decided to watch Doraemon movies and make a tier list of those, but doing that alone is also boring

AI suggested a game, sounds interesting, name is PAST WITHIN,.... It's a 2 player game😭

So anyone wanna give company? In anything

Like free fire, I don't mind shifting to bgmi or any other, watching Doraemon movies too

If anyone wanna give company then please,

I was always waiting for this time, but when it's here, I don't want this😭it's so boring

And this ain't an academic post, so if mods say this doesn't seem fit I will delete this...

Hey all, a failed dropper here trying to guide juniors who want to take a drop

About me, I scored 60%ile in jee 2025 and 15k below in eamcet

75%ile after a drop year, 33k in eamcet, 126 in bitsat

I failed and it's upto you if you wanna listen to it or not... I failed but learned alot from this, which I will implement in my future life for sure

I won't say "year wasted" Because this failure did teach me something,

this is going to be long, but if you are taking a drop, or thinking about a drop, please take your time to read this, Its long, sorry about that

I have been very active in this sub since last few weeks,

I am a dropper, I failed even in eamcet

I have noticed a lot of people asking about drop year in this sub, so I thought I should tell some do's and don'ts

And the challenges you will face ahead of your journey and how to counter them

I won't say much about the "do's" You can skip them if you want to, but don't skip the "DON'Ts"

I am not sure if I know them, if I knew I would not have failed, but I did figure some out after the exams, it's upto you

First thing, don't prepare for any other exam other than JEE mains till January.... Forget that exams like EAPCET, BITSAT, COMEDK etc even exist,

Just one exam JEE, after January you can shift to whatever exam you want, don't skip questions because they are difficult (biggest mistake I did) you don't need to solve that question for sure, if you can't solve it, look at the solution, ask your teacher about it, learn from it

DO's:

-Consistency beats intensity, not just jee eamcet, or just an exam, consistency over intensity in most of the cases, this means,someone who studies 6-7hrs a day, everyday without breaking the streak will beat a guy who studies 16-18 hrs a day but twice or thrice a week, I was the intensive guy, there are days when I clocked 18hrs studying, but how long was I able to do it? Not long, just listen to your lectures (online or offline) do the homework given then 30 chemistry pyqs, 15 physics pyqs, 20 maths pyqs (adjust the numbers according to you, I think that would work) everyday without a break, that would take 8 hrs a day

-revise regularly, make short notes once the chapter is done, every Sunday morning 3hrs revision, that's it

-mock testing, first check if those mocks given in your coaching are really JEE level, if they aren't jee level, stop judging your performance based on them, buy a relevant mock tests or if you can't afford just find it (yk yk) reddit is filled with recommendations

-take breaks bw study sessions, don't make a session longer than 1.5hrs, 5-10 min break in between, in the break you should either do some exercise, just lay down,talk to people around if there are any NO PHONE in this time

DON'Ts

-don't make bonds with people in drop year, hanging out with them, doing anything is a time waste (might sound harsh or rude, but it's true) cut off people, if they are truly good, they will understand and won't feel bad, if they are feeling bad about it, they never deserved to be ur friends anyway

-take 1-2 hours of a day for yourself, do stuff which makes you relieved, reading, drawing, some small mobile games (not addictive like free fire or pubg), singing etc etc you have left 22-23 hrs in a day, sleep for 7-8 hrs including naps you have 15 hrs left, in these 15 hrs you should either be exercising, studying, or taking a power nap or doing misc tasks like eating etc, anything and everything else is a time waste, curse yourself if you are doing anything else

-don't eat unhealthy food, health is wealth during this time

-don't use someone else's notes, or short notes, make your own, don't just copy paste what's written on screen, write what you understand

-no day dreaming, "if I go to clg I will do this" "In future I will do this" NOOO, don't that will hurt you more than anything

-no fiction or video games, only 1-2 movies in a month, that too if you are burned out, and no reels shorts either, use regain app to block them, DO IT, use that bloody app

-lectures over one shots, F*ck those v*dn*tu 2-3 hrs one shots they aren't even relevant, you can use longer one shots (2-3 hrs for small chps like EM waves, 5hrs for chapters like thermal properties, 7-8+ for long chapters like electrostatice, that's the bench mark if you really wanna do one shots, but prefer lectures over one shots)

-don't have unrealistic goals, like"I didn't study for 10 days I will do 100 questions today" , bro you won't even do 1

-don't have this "I will do this book that book" No First do the hw given in class, then 50-70 pcm pyqs everyday This alone can confirm 95-98%ile in JEE, and 3k below rank in eapcet, If you actually need any book you will know it yourself, first reach this, if you reached then think about books and jee adv, first HW given and 50-70 jee mains pyq (if someone told me this at the start of drop year I wouldn't have failed)

-try to complete syllabus by December if you are starting now (June)

DONE WITH THE LOVEY DOWEY SCRIPT PART, NOW THE CHALLENGES WHICH YOU FACE

1. Distraction

Reels: regain app, Or any other reels and shorts blocking app

Stop playing games and watching movies

Have a goal for a day (realistic) like I have to do 3hrs of online lecture today, listen to offline class, then 20 questions per subject, best strategy?

I did this it was a bit too unrealistic but works if you use it wisely, have a task just after you wake up and before breakfast, like 20 physics questions before breakfast, don't eat till you do those 20 questions, then one lecture and chemistry x chp revision before lunch, no lunch before that, didn't work for me cuz I had unrealistic goals, keep them realistic you will do good

2. Bad home condition

If your parents won't support you, like they give you works at home or anything like that,veryyy bad situation like they don't allow libraries/study halls, or offline coaching....brother take a deep breath and listen drop year isn't for you, take whatever clg you get now, you will be in a same situation you are right now

If it's not very bad, try to go to a study hall if you are an online dropper, try to stay in coaching till ur tasks for a day are done.... I have a very traumatic situation at home, I spent hours crying without studying, try to ignore them as much as possible, if you can't ignore and it mentally affects you, don't take a drop

3. Peers

You will find your peers enjoying, even if they took a drop, yes that's true there will be unserious droppers, don't you dare join them, be rude, nobody cares if you are a nice guy or a bad guy, drop year is very crucial, you can't waste it on shit people

4. Jealousy

You will find your friends who went to college enjoying partying, that's first yr of college

You will have it too, while they are figuring out leetcode and plucking there hair out in second year, ignore them too

I would end this post with this, thank you for reading this till the end if you did

About the distractions,

Nobody can save you from them, except for yourself, every once in a while ask yourself "whatever I am doing right now, is it helping me drop year? If no just don't do it, don't postpone things, if you decided to do that task today, try not to sleep before completing it

Mistakes I did, I am ashamed of them:

Told you about that 1-2 hrs of time for urself right, I watched some web series, I thought I will watch one episode, or playing a game, thought of playing just one, ended up playing alot of them and watching a lot of episodes,

My classmates of offline coaching were enjoying, I joined them, playing games, watching movies, FOMO is a big enemy

Complaining and not studying, I had a noisy environment in hostel I stayed at, I should have just found a better place to study, there were always silent places I just didn't go there, and kept complaining

Felt guilty, about not studying then tried to overdo, the burnout didn't let me study for another 2 days and the cycle continued

Reels, kept on doom scrolling

Skipping tough questions, I was always preparing for bitsat too it was my main goal, I was like "why this level of question, bits won't ask it anyway.... Same mistake is done by 1000s of aspirants for Eapcet, comedk or bitsat.... Forget all those, JUST PREPARE FOR JEE MAINS, aim for 200+, be consistent, rest will be taken care of by itself

not ignoring the home situation, situation was/is very bad at home, I spent hours crying thinking about it, about future

Questioning myself, i posted more than 20 posts "I scored 60%ile can I reach 99" I should have just studied and waited for the results of my hardwork

There are people out there who scored 25% , reached 99.5 in drop year, there are also people who scored 99%ile took drop, got distracted just like me and scored way less,...

JUST STUDY, don't forget this

"ASK YOURSELF, WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, IS IT GONNA HELP YOUR DROP YEAR JOURNEY?

Online or offline?

Anything is fine, ppl say "if you wanna stay consistent, join offline" It's false....

It's about your understanding, can a man standing and teaching teach you better or a man on screen

It's ur choice, anyone can stay disciplined, anyone can get distracted be it offline or online

If online which one?

Take 1-2 weeks look at those teachers do you understand them? Go for it, all are equally good, choose one follow them blindly, don't switch in between

If offline which one?

Still the same, every top offline Institute is same....

Anything that changes would be your t-shirt (uniform), (think practically,it's not the Institute which teaches you, it's the teacher, today they are here, next year they will be in some other offline Institute,so it doesn't matter just it should be a top one), I said top don't go to the untrusted local coaching in your street and say I am wrong...

ALL THE BEST LIL BROS AND SISTERS

Rock hard, smash that exam...!!!

I will definitely remember you all in my prayers

Please remember me in urs too

18m,

I attempted suicide 4 times but backed off, and also a failed dropper

Once tried to swallow 7 BP tabs at once... I didn't, I was scared, threw those away

Tried cutting my wrist,my body didn't let me apply the required amount of pressure

Tried jumping off a building twice

Was scared and backed off

I am a bloody coward

Jee wasn't the only reason I tried to kill myself, my friends left me, recently broke up with my gf, parents don't trust me anymore after a failed drop year, I have no one to talk to, except for myself who keeps saying "just die"....

I even failed the state entrance(TG eapcet) which I cleared gloriously last year, got worse score this year

Won't even get top state clgs

I am trying to start a new life, forgetting everything, joining what ever college I get,

Double drop ka khayal aaya but

"Suicide me 4 attempt lag gaye mere jaise ch\*tiye ko, still failed

3 attempt me JEE Ghanta clear hoga mere se"

This thought is keeping me away from it

Still can't move on,

Those suicidal thoughts are still hitting me at night, whenever I see cut offs for state clgs, the idea of another drop strikes

How do I just move on from everything....?

Did the no of 60+, 70+ scorers increase in this sub?

Compared to last year?

I got 50 raw marks in 11s2, at 50 it was 40k rank

Last year it got closed at 22k

Before that 35k

Every year it's different for my category

If I get it

I will feed biryani to anyone who comments

MGIT gets you fried rice, SNIST gets you a coke, VNR ECE gets you a buffet at BBQ nation, VNR EIE coke again....

I am planning to join SNIST (I have no other option)

I was in hostel for 1-2 years

Shared rooms aren't a thing for me😭😭😭

I need silence in room, just me alone

The phone sounds, brain rot reel sounds

make me wanna k*ll people

So which hostels nearby have single shared rooms Preferably with attached, not a big issue if not there, but I prefer...., budget ain't a big deal I can adjust

Idfc about food and all😭😭

Just silence and cleanliness, I can keep my room clean if I am alone in that room

Parents won't allow non food rooms.... So hostels only

If anyone lives there... Can u please fetch them for me if possible

I will try to come and see but I don't think it's gonna happen

If there are no hostels with single room I won't join🤧

this after a drop year?

I was scoring 80+ in mocks now I am getting 45k rank at 50 marks, worst I imagined was JNTU, the best i am getting now is worse than that

I don't want to waste my parents money anymore

For management seat

For a good college, I have to grind hard for BITSAT...

And hope for a miracle

But I can't fuckin study, even if I study without sleeping for 10 days

I still have less than 0.1% chance of clearing bitsat

It's a no for sure

I am trying to be mentally prepared for SNIST, Hyderabad

I can't bring myself to study

I am just checking clgs through rank list, going through every question in key, looking YT for normalization news, doom scrolling reddit with suicidal thoughts

Looking at those IIT motivation reels, I feel like I can't breathe, it's suffocating to look at them

When I try I get scared and back off

Stuck in this since Sunday evening

I don't wanna live anymore,

I can't die either

I should have joined college when I got good rank last year

I got a13k rank last year in eamcet

Took a drop for a big IIT dream

Yesterday

I got 50 marks in eamcet

Probably 40k rank

I was getting VNR ece last year(BC-E category)

Now some random ass colleges

I was always interested in electrical stuff

I don't wanna be a code junkie

Now my parents are talking about management seat...

To get into electrical tech

I need mtech, VLSI, chip design jobs aren't even a thing after btech

I can't say "I will prepare for GATE, i won't sit in placements, I don't care if you sold the house for me"

I have to grab a placement, but in a field I hate (software)

I can see 2 of my dreams being crushed, mtech in a big clg dream, VLSI career....

My parents are angry, cuz I messed up, but they aren't showing it, those crooked faces hurt more than anything else

Feb 2026 was very bad phase for me, not just academically, even personally too

I attempted suicide in feb, brought my dad's BP tablets

Plucked out 6-7 of them, tried to swallow them all

But failed, I was scared

Yesterday

I tried to jump of the terrace, still

Got scared and backed off

Didn't sleep since last night...

Sat on my study chair since 10pm, it's 5:30 now

I won't get any decent college now

The ones I am getting are out of the city, ZERO college life

I can't see a life ahead...

Currently at 0, no friends, toxic family, never played an outdoor game, fat, bad relationship

I can, but not the one I imagined

But the one I considered to be the worst case

I failed trying to die

People say the ones who try that are cowards

What am I then?

Worse than that...

I am such a worthless human being

As every moment passes, I don't wanna see next moment, I don't wanna live

God should either give strength to live, or at least enough courage to die

​

Dropper here, got 50 marks today in eamcet

Probably 40k rank

Last year I got 13k rank

Was getting ECE, still took a drop for a big IIT dream

I am not at all interested in Data science and AI stuff

I am into electrical tech

ECE suits my goals

So either I will try an off campus job (ik that semiconductor companies won't visit VNR)

Or prepare for GATE, I will decide later, but it's definitely one of these 2, no third option

But I do need a good clg life, fed up of this prep

I don't wanna join those away from the city shit ass colleges 🥲😭

Should I take management seat, ECE...

How much will it cost?

I might get EIE in counselling but many top clgs won't accept EIE for ECE branch mtech

So I need ECE

Got 50,even after a drop, probably 40k+ rank

Last year I got 13k

Was getting VNR and CBIT ece with Been reservation

Was getting 70-90 in mocks

Now my parents are talking about management seat...

I am such a failure

I don't see a path ahead now

I was aiming for GATE ECE

If my parents buy a management seat I should kill my IIT mtech dream, I can't aim for GATE, while having a burden tag of management seat, I should try for placements...

And I was always interested in electrical stuff

But there are no placements in electrical tech after btech, I have to aim for software jobs

2 dreams gone

Dropper, failed every other exam

Last hope

Let's see what happens...

Can't find a reliable YT video

Edit: More than 100 people saw this no one replied 😭

Mechanics means these chapters

Motion in a straight line Motion in a place Newton's laws of motion Work power energy System of particles

😭😭

Why are people expecting normalization to increase marks for everyone??

Isn't it like making everyone's score leveled according to Difficulty level of the paper

So half of the people will get there marks reduced than what they saw on screen

Half of us will see an increase

Some madam on vedantu said

"Normalization lo 6 marks taggina students kuda unnaru" Maybe that's for toppers who scored above 120

But still

Reduction of marks is also an equally likely possibility right?

So why all this expectations???
