Failed NIMCET with 1000+ Rank, Feeling Lost - Should I Learn Technical Skills Alongside Retrial?

Ans: Hello.
Sad to hear about the frustration that developed in you. But you are not the alone among lacs of students who are not admitted to NIT's/IIT's or some reputed institutions even after giving 100%. Every student, who is appearing for the exam will do the same thing and give his 100%. Yet few of them only get admission. The rest of them either try to repeat or choose another path. There is nothing wrong with taking a drop. If you check the history, many repeaters have succeeded in cracking the examination and come out of frustration.
Keep faith in yourself, your studies, and your burning desire to crack the examination.
Please keep other aspects i.e. learning technical skills parallelly away for few months, till your exam is over. Engaging yourself in parallel skills will again create frustration in your mind. First, you take admission to a demanding course in a reputed college and then shape your career how you want.
As you have well prepared for the 1st attempt, you know your drawbacks where you went wrong, and what missed, It is my confidence that you will crack the examination this year by overcoming the drawbacks.
Best of luck to your upcoming bright future which is just a few months away! Wakeup and start with new hopes!
