I want to take drop for JEE 2026 in JEE 2025 January attempt I got 40% I know it is very bad I studied online from PW (Arjuna + Lakshya) but I did only one thing that is backlog covering I watch all the lectures in 2x and make notes only not done any questions practice because my whole time gets busy in covering backlogs and I get distracted while doing the online preparation so now I finally decided to go to an offline coaching centre in Indore ( ALLEN DWK Campus) currently I live in Sagar. So sir please can you guide me what to do now and what is the best dropper strategy I should follow please sir

Ans: Hello Dear.
You have made a wise choice by joining offline classes for JEE preparation. You have already completed the syllabus and the examination process. You understand your strengths and weaknesses. Prepare a list of topics where you excel and those that need improvement. Attend all classes consistently. Clarify any doubts regarding topics and concepts you may have missed. Take all tests conducted in the classes. If possible, enroll in a top online test series platform. Aim to solve as many previous question papers as you can. Create a "Rankers File" for yourself, including all the essential formulas, summaries, and handwritten notes. This file will help you quickly revise all topics at any time. Maintain a safe distance from electronic gadgets. Concentrate solely on your studies and strive to study a minimum of 8-10 hours per day. To achieve success, hard work is essential. Best of luck for your bright future ahead.

I am Aditya, resident of bhopal. I am getting NIT BHOPAL CSE, but I want to prepare for jee 2026 to get into iit roorkee ECE. Should I take complete drop or continue my preparation along with manit cse (partial drop). I am planning to to take partial drop along with support of test series and doubt solving from my previous JEE COACHING CLASSES here. What's your opinion and suggestions on this?..
Ans: Aditya, (You have NOT mentioned your JEE Score this year.) Anyway, here's the answer to your question: Taking a full drop for JEE 2026 offers concentrated study time, stress reduction from college workload, structured coaching access, deeper doubt resolution and improved conceptual clarity, but carries risks of social pressure, burnout, financial burden, loss of academic routine and potential recruiter bias. A partial drop alongside MANIT CSE allows continued academic progress, fallback security, campus interactions, financial continuity and time management skill development, yet poses challenges of divided focus, reduced study hours, scheduling conflicts, slower syllabus coverage and increased fatigue. To overcome these cons, implement disciplined timetables, leverage quality test series, schedule focused doubt-solving sessions, integrate regular self-assessments and maintain balanced rest and peer support.

Recommendation: Opt for a partial drop while enrolled at MANIT CSE to preserve academic momentum and financial security, supplementing with daily dedicated JEE coaching hours, structured test-series cycles and targeted doubt-resolution sessions to steadily elevate your rank toward IIT Roorkee ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I feel like a total failure even after completing MBBS from Madras Medical College, i am not getting any job of my choice, how do i get past this
Ans: Shocked to hear your concerns! It’s surprising that even after completing MBBS from a reputed institution like Madras Medical College, you’re facing difficulties in finding the right job. But remember, this is not failure. It’s just a transition phase where patience and flexibility are key. It’s natural to feel low when expectations don’t meet reality, yet this doesn’t diminish your achievement. Explore alternative opportunities such as internships, research roles, rural postings, or preparing for specialization through NEET-PG if you haven’t already. Many successful doctors began their journeys in challenging conditions, and their perseverance eventually brought recognition. Talking with seniors and mentors can provide valuable guidance, while sharing your feelings with friends can help you avoid loneliness and fatigue.

At the same time, don’t neglect your mental and emotional well-being. Connect with peers who’ve been through similar struggles. It will remind you that this phase is temporary. You can also build additional skills in communication, public health, research, or even health technology, which may open new career paths. Use this period to strengthen your CV with workshops, volunteering, or online certifications. Most importantly, be kind to yourself: completing MBBS is already a huge accomplishment, and setbacks don’t define your worth. Sometimes, stepping back to rest and reflect can bring the clarity and energy you need to move forward with confidence.

Good luck.
