so im a first year physics student, weve got like almost 2 months of summer break, and i really wanna prepare for NGPE. i know its got a lot pf complex stuff, and i plan on solving jam pyqs for the stuff ive studied, and studying QM from Griffiths( cause interest, and its asked a lot) i would love any suggestions for this

So I’m grinding for JEE and ab aaram se nahi, properly phodna hai. I need recommendations from seniors or fellow aspirants who’ve been through the trenches..............🙏
Please suggest teachers (YouTube, paid batches, Telegram, anything) and books/material that are actually top-level—for Physics. Not the basic one's jo bas curriculum complete karate hai, but the ones who build concept depth + problem-solving instinct for tough shifts. I have just 8 months for this.

Don't forget to share your solutions!

So india doesn't have a dedicated B.Sc in Astronomy unlike universities abroad, which means if you want to become an astronomer or astrophysicist here, you're going through Physics whether you like it or not. and honestly i find the earthy side of physics pretty dry, my real obsession is space, the universe, the big stuff. but here we are.

i've been looking at every realistic route and somehow managed to fall short on all of them 🥀

1. JEE Mains for NITs was a no because NIT's don't offer BS Research, except Hamirpur and Calicut which have Engineering Physics but i couldn't touch the 96-97 percentile needed.

2. JEE Advanced would've opened IITs, IISc and IIST for BS Research and Engineering Physics but i scored 57.4 percentile so that door closed too.

3. IAT for IISERs is what i'm preparing for right now with 20 days left, this is the one still alive.

4. CUET happened but i misread how seriously i needed to take it, didn't give a single mock (kyuki cuet toh easy hote hai), and Delhi University's North or South Campus programs are basically out of reach now, Off campus aren't that good though.

5. Merit-based colleges like Ferguson need 85 to 90 percent in boards and i have 68%age so that's a wall too.

So genuinely asking, for someone who wants to end up in Astronomy or Astrophysics, where do aspiring astrophysicist in india actually land their bachelor's when the obvious routes don't go as planned? what did you do or what would you do? What'd you guys gonna do...?
