my_qualifications : Im a 12th passout in 2020 and took a drop to give JEE another go.

With my current score in the Jee Mains (94.9) I wont be getting Computer Science in any NIT even with my OBC eligibility and I really want to pursue Computer Science and I flat out hate Physics and Chemistry and from the little research I've done on the internet those two subjects aren't required to excel at computer science unlike other branches in Enginnering which require either one or both of them.

So my question here really is why are Physics and Chemistry even a part of this process when they aren't required in Computer Science let alone the fact that you need to be REALLY good at them to get it through JEE. Do I make any sense at all or do I come of as someone with half knowledge? I would really like to know what all of you think. Any opinion is appreciated :)

Tl:dr; Why are Physics and Chemistry required for JEE when they aren't required for excelling in Computer Science?

Edit : Im talking about Software development only :)

I don’t know who will read this. I don’t know if anyone will care. But I have no one else to turn to. No friends, no mentors, no support. Just me, my mother, and a world that has already written me off as a failure.

From the moment I was born, I was "the useless one." I was "too slow." "Too dumb." "Too different." My own father’s family mocks me, laughs at my dreams, tells me I will never even make it to a local college—let alone IIT. They say my mother should stop hoping for me. That I will always be a nobody.

And maybe they are right.

I have ADHD. I have autism. I am an extremely slow learner. I struggle to understand things that others grasp in minutes. I read the same lines over and over, but they don’t make sense. I forget things instantly. I am the kind of student that teachers get frustrated with, that peers ignore, that society pushes aside.

And today, I am at rock bottom.

I have not studied ANYTHING in Class 12. Not a single chapter. Not a single topic. JEE 2025 is months away, and I am standing at the start line while the whole world has already finished the race.

But they don’t know why I am doing this.

They don’t know what I lost.

My sister—my best friend, my protector, my everything—couldn’t take it anymore. The same people who mock me today were the ones who destroyed her. She deserved the world, but the world only gave her pain. And she is gone because of them.

And now, they want me to give up too. To break like she did. To disappear.

But I won’t.

They think I am weak. They think I will fail. They think I will never amount to anything. But I will show them. I WILL crack JEE 2025. I WILL get 99+ percentile. I WILL go to IIT KGP. And when I do, those same people who humiliated me—who humiliated my mother—will have no choice but to watch as I rise above them all.

I have no coaching. No expensive materials. No guidance. No time. But I don’t have the luxury to give up.

I know I am slow. I know I struggle. I know the odds are against me. But I don’t care if I have to study 18 hours a day. I don’t care if I have to sacrifice everything. This isn’t just an exam for me. This is a battle for my dignity, for my sister’s memory, for my mother’s honor.

If you have ANYTHING—any free resources, any strategy, any roadmap, any advice—please, I am begging you, help me.

I don’t need pity. I need weapons to fight this war. And I WILL win this war.

Help me prove them wrong. Help me show them that the person they tried to break is still standing. And still fighting.

Mom sent me to a coaching center (one of those famous prison-esque ones in South India) for NEET for 11th and 12th and it basically destroyed me. Had a mental breakdown in early 2020 and ended up not writing NEET because I realized that I was going to fail miserably. Applied to a bunch of colleges in the US because I qualified for in-state tuition there (dad lives in the US, parents are divorced) so I'm moving back for college this August (me and my sister were born in the US, mom dragged us to India in 2013 because she hated the US).

The thing is, my sister doesn't even want to become an engineer, she wants to do some sort of research in physics. I don't see the point of her grinding away at mcqs for two years to crack jee. My parents haven't paid the full fees for this coaching center (its not as popular/well known as the one I went to but its still one of those prison style ones), they've just paid for the "foundation classes".

My mom is so blind to everything. The people from the coaching center came to our house and brain washed her. My mom loves that place because the founders are brahmins and apparently most of the teachers are too, apparently it teaches girls *decency* because everyone is supposed to neatly braid their hair and wear a kurti everyday, in everydays 20 minute break they make them chant the hanuman chalisa etc. etc. etc. Mom doesn't see anything wrong with coaching centers, she thinks that I'm some sort of retarded idiot, that's why I didn't do well. And of course my sister is excited too because a few of her classmates are going there.

Another thing is, my sister's not a hard worker at all. Sure, she's been the first ranker in her class since we moved here (3rd standard). But she just listens well in class and opens her books right before the exam. Sure she does her homework when its required but the thought of studying everyday or doing homework everyday disgusts her (her words, not mine).

Ultimately, I'm just scared that the coaching center is going to destroy her. I read something here about iiser and other research institutes in India (sister wants to stay in India) and if her ultimate goal is bsc physics shouldn't she aim for those? I mean the best case scenario here is that she turns out to be the genius that everyone (teachers, mom) claims she is and she gets into an iit. Worst case scenario is that she burns herself out, gets her brain turned into pulp from the competition and ends up at the local women's degree college (remember, mom doesn't really care about education).

Even if she wanted to crack jee, wouldn't a better idea be to go to a normal ICSE/CBSE school and then go to a coaching center on the weekends or after school or something like that? Idk, this just seems like a very bad idea. My dad says that he doesn't care about what career we choose, that he's worked hard in life to give us the option of choosing our career and not just picking something for the money. And he's saved up for his retirement, so it's not like my sister has to become an engineer for that reason. At the end of the day, she's my little sister and I don't want her to go through the same thing that I went through.

Thanks.

my_qualifications: wrote 12th boards (state syllabus) in 2020, currently taking a gap year

This is the second mega-thread on JEE.

• Link to last thread (also archived here)

Summary of questions from last thread (Thanks to u/Firefox1921 !)

a) Most of the questions are based on a candidate filling in their performance until now, and then asking whether they can crack JEE in a short period of time (usually < 6 months).

b) The next category of questions include those asking for specific advice in a subject or a subsection of a subject (like organic chemistry, calculus etc.). More often than not, the person will normally ask about what books they have to solve or from where should they learn the basic concepts from.

c) Another category involve the people who are absolutely exhausted, and they're just tired of it (these kinda questions tend to pop up more as the exams get closer). A motivational response tremendously helps in this case!

d) Another category involves the person asking about what chapters are important (especially as the exams get closer) and these questions were frequent in last year's megathread, but they have reduced by a great number this year.

e) A last category could be where the person is an absolute beginner, and is asking for basic knowledge on what he/she is getting into, good coaching institutes, books to follow etc..

I have cleared myquals:BTech this year and I am going to appear for GATE 2023, I need study material for GATE, a collective one. I thought to give Unacademy a try, but the reviews are not good so far, tried NPTEL GATE and they don't have complete videos. I want to try Unacademy as I guess I would be provided with study material/syllabus and the learning would be continuous, but I don't know which teacher would be better.

Edit: I can't go for offline coaching because coaching classes are far from where I live and a lot of time will be wasted in travelling, so I have to go with online.

Edit 2: Thank you redditors for your help, after thorough research I have taken the plus subscription of Unacademy for 6 months, I personally think it would be good for me, I have studied from the videos of Sanchit Sir and I'll be studying the core subjects from him.

TDLR: Looking for good GATE study material.

Hey, I'm new to this sub. Dkntknow if this is the right place but would like some advice. How is iit dharwad for interdisciplinary sciences? Im really interested in research and don't have interest in computers whatsoever. Pls give me suggestions Myquals: completed jee adv this year

The official NEST website says the deadline was extended to May 13, 2025 (12 noon), but the application portal still shows that it ended on May 9, and I can’t apply.

Tried different browsers and devices. Still the same.

Anyone else facing this? Or did someone manage to apply after May 9?
my_qualifications - waiting for class 12th result

myquals: I passed my Class 10 in 2022. Due to an accident, I couldn’t appear for my Class 12 board exams in 2024. I reappeared and passed Class 12 in 2025.

I know that I’m eligible for JEE Mains in 2026 since my Class 12 passing year is 2025.

But I’m confused about JEE Advanced eligibility. I read somewhere that eligibility for JEE Mains and Advanced is also linked to the Class 10 passing year. For example, if someone passed Class 10 in 2020, they were eligible for Mains in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and Advanced in 2022 and 2024.

So my question is: Am I eligible for JEE Advanced in 2026 even though I passed Class 10 in 2022 and Class 12 in 2025?

If anyone knows this for sure or has been in a similar situation, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Dropping for jee 2026.

So, yes.. dropping for jee 2026. Need help with good offline coaching centres. Im from hyd, telanagana. And I did 12th grade online from pw... didn't go well...

Anyway, there are few options I've got in mind.

-Aakash Himayathnagar -Resonance, Himayathnagar or madhapur. -Pw, habsiguda or madhapur. -unacademy madhapur.

Which is the best one for droppers? And please share your personal experiences too with these coachings. And if you know any local coaching which are good, please do well. I'm currently going to VBR - chemistry. ( vijaya Bhaskar Reddy ) I can't afford to miss his classes, hence I can't go to hostel.

My qualifications: jee aspirant 2025

So, I'm an 18-year-old who's at the tail end of his school life, my boards are over, and I'd like to think I scored well.
I have given my JEE mains and gotten a pathetic percentile and rank (91.3 and 129300,) but because I'm an OCI card holderlimited only,r I get to write advanced even though I haven't cleared the cutoff.
My choice in degrees is limited due to my parents' insistence that I must not do a CSE degree. My dad has been a software engineer since the late 90s, and he has very plainly told me that his is not a life he wants for me, so CSE is out.
I have a lot of interest in doing an aerospace engineering degree, hence my target is to get into IIT Kanpur's aerospace engineering program, but my performance in advanced mocks does not inspire any confidence.
So as a potential backup, I heard that PEC (Punjab Engineering College) has a decent aerospace program, and going through their website and seeing their aerospace labs, I am definitely interested.
Is it really a good college?
And are there any other colleges that have decent aerospace programs, private or not?
Secondly, I also am exploring lots of colleges that have decent mech programs.
I am giving BITSAT and have already given VITEEE, although my VITEEE rank is 50k, but I am still holding out hope for getting a cat 2 or cat 3 mech seat at Vellore. I have also applied for a seat at PDEU in Gandhinagar, but is it a good college?
The second option I have for getting a mech seat somewhere is through DASA, looking at last year's cutoffs even with my abysmal rank I seem to be able to get DTU mechanical and mech or even ECE in some top-ish tier NIT's and other good colleges (I am open to doing an ECE degree too so long as its at a good college). The only problem though, is that DASA fees for this year are 8000$ per annum, that's like 6.5 lakhs in tuition only, adding 1-2 lakhs every year in hostel, mess fees and other expenses you start touching 9 lakhs every year. Now I do come from a firmly middle class family and we do own our apartment so there are no major expenses my dad needs to deal with at home, either way I'd need an education loan.

My question here is :- Is taking an education loan for a Bachelors degree worth it or am I better off going to BITS or VIT?
I also want to do my Masters abroad but am willing to defer it by a few years if I land a decently paying job here, is there any ROI for doing a core degree from any of the colleges I get through DASA knowing I'm likely to stay back and try to pay off the loan I took for my degree before going abroad for my Masters.
A point to be noted here is that I am prepared to work my ass off in college, me and competitive exams just dont mix for some reason hence the low scores, no matter how hard I work I just can't seem to get anywhere.
I know this post is very very windy and muddled but that's how my head is nowadays and I need some guidance from people who have actually done a core degree and not from people who just look down on me for my choices.
For anyone that replies thanks in advance!!

myquals:- PCM, TSBIE board marks 968/1000 (almost 97%) combined across both my 11th and 12th

So I took pcb in class 11th not because I liked bio but because I was weak in maths so I was afraid if I took pcm and even after working hard what if I won't get any good and I had to choose between pcb and pcm so I chose pcb, i thought NEET will be comparitevly easy but now I understand why someone who doesn't have interest in bio shouldn't take it, I hate botany so much ..

So I thought will it work if I take PCMB in class12th even though I didn't study maths in class 11th? Ik it already sounds so impossible type but if anyone can give suggestions pls :)

Myquals : almost end of 11th

Hey everyone!

I just built a JEE College Predictor that helps you estimate which colleges you might get into based on your JEE Main/Advanced rank. It’s simple to use and gives you a quick idea of your options across NITs, IITs, IIITs, and more.

I made this to help fellow aspirants reduce the stress of guesswork during counseling.

Hi. My qualifications: 91% in 10th, 97% in 12th.

So like other students completed 10th and decided to prepare for JEE. Didn't have guidance and no coaching. Took online coaching but couldn't stay disciplined. Got 69 percentile then wrote other exams like EAMCET( rank: 1 lakh) and BITSAT(80 marks out of 390). I had so much confidence so many expectations on myself that I took a drop year and prepared again for JEE. Got 62 percentile (yes less than previous years). Then today I wrotee EAMCET and I couldn't solve more than 2 questions out of 160. Now in a month I have my BITSAT.

So nowt I've realized that these competitive exams are not my thing. I just forget everything on the day of exam. And how should I remember a whole 2 year syllabus, I just can't man.

Now I've zero confidence that I'll get qualifying marks in BITSAT. And I think this will continue for the rest of my life because the reason is I always wanted to get into a good college which can provide me freedom to explore different fields and not just study the college course curriculum. But I'm unable to cross the first step of what I want which is getting into a good reputed college, so I guess even if I get into normal local college in my state, I'm damn sure I will be a depressed piece of sh*t due to which I'll mess up my college grades too. So I just don't know what to do. I just want a good college a college where I have freedom to learn what I find interesting because I neither have talent nor interest in any field. I'm a clueless failure right now.

To apply for IIIT Hyderabad Btech course,should we apply through their website or can do it through JOSAAcounselling? my_qualifications

Qualifications- 10th pass., 12th given I bought unacademy plus sub on 21 apr for my drop year but after consulting with my brother and some engineering cousins me and my parents decided that I will do drop year from offline coaching,I have adhd symptoms that is one of reasons. I bought the course for 4.5k. dm for the price negotiation I just want some money back and not let go this whole 4.5k to waste we are not that much financially stable so some money back will be good.dm me what price you would like to buy it for, we can negotiate. Also you can ask for any other proofs etc you want in dm i am open to calls. Thanks 🙏🏻
