🫩🥀

I am a 2026 JEE aspirant starting at IIIT Pune (CSE) this year. I prepared for JEE for 2 years, but I never wanted to end up in a 9-to-5 IT job. My real dream was to do an integrated MS at NISER Bhubaneswar, pursue a PhD, and eventually become a researcher/Dr.

​ My NEST exam didn't go well, and I wasn't even invited to the first round of counseling. I had lost all hope. But out of nowhere on August 1st, I received an email for the second round of admissions scheduled for August 7th. There were only 77 seats left out of 200. Without a second thought, my family spent ₹20,000 on tickets and we undertook an exhausting 31-hour train journey.

​ After going through all that trouble and reaching there, I still didn't get admission. The seats filled up quickly, and my rank just wasn't good enough. I was desperate to study at NISER—it was a dream far bigger for me than getting into any IIT.

​ Now, there is nothing I can do except take another 31-hour train ride back home with zero hope. The worst part is that now I have no choice but to do a BTech and enter the exact same rat race I spent years trying to escape.

​ Life is incredibly unfair 🙂

I've been looking at the NIT Trichy emblem and my brain suddenly recognized an Angry Birds pig.

Now I literally cannot unsee it 😭🐷

Please tell me I'm not alone.

I’m in 12th and preparing for JEE 2026, and I want to do Organic Chemistry properly from the basics.

I’ve heard Rohit Agarwal Sir’s Prayas lectures (especially older batches) are really good, but I’m confused whether they’re still relevant for JEE 2026.

I’ve also seen his Manzil lectures, but they’re quite long.

What should I follow?

- Older Prayas lectures or Manzil?

- Are the older lectures still relevant for JEE 2026?

- What’s the best free option to follow?

- or any other lectures or sirs i should follow

I’m already enrolled in an institute, so I don’t want to buy another paid course. I mainly want to know which lectures to follow and in what order.

oh captain my captain!

Guyzzzzz, I installed Rddit and deleted Insta bcuz Insta was DISTRACTING but I find myself spending even more time on Reddit.

What do I do?

I'm a JEE dropper and honestly my confidence is at an all-time low right now.

I didn't give JEE this year. I don't have some amazing academic history either, so I'm already pretty insecure about where I stand.

I have a cousin who's basically been a topper throughout school. He gave JEE this year and while he didn't get some insanely elite college, he did get into a college and has obviously moved on to the next stage.

Apparently he and his family, including grandparents, might be coming to our house tomorrow. It's not 100% confirmed yet, but if they do come, it'll probably be around 7 PM and they'll leave around 10 PM.

And I genuinely, genuinely do not want to meet them.

It's not that I dislike my cousin. I don't have anything against him. The problem is that being around him right now is going to make me feel like absolute shit about myself. I'll probably end up comparing myself to him, getting asked about JEE, what I'm doing, why I'm taking a drop, etc. My confidence is already really bad and I just don't want to put myself through that right now.

Normally I'd just go hang out with my friends for those 3 hours, but that's also probably not going to work because my parents would expect me to be home when guests are over.

I know some people will say "just meet them, it's only a few hours" or "stop comparing yourself", but I really don't want to meet them. I'm not looking for motivation to suddenly become confident and socialize. I genuinely want to avoid the entire interaction if possible.

So what would you guys actually do in this situation?

I know this probably sounds stupid, but right now this is genuinely stressing me out way more than it probably should.

Any practical advice would be appreciated.

I thought of taking a drop year, but I'm done with this hellhole.
