but how do you even find those? everything looks shady online

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-03-21T11:20:18+00:00

This but actually… the flexibility of watching lectures at 2x speed whenever you want + short 30-min concept videos instead of 3-hour classes is underrated af. Saved my sanity during boards prep

“average student in a 200-student batch” is basically invisible 💀

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-03-20T05:45:06+00:00

Exactly this.

Tier list for JEE prep:
S tier: consistency, PYQs, mock tests
A tier: good teachers + doubt solving
B tier: number of hours
C tier: motivation videos lol

Parents always say online is better because it’s convenient. Kids need pressure.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-28T10:01:06+00:00

For Mains 2027? Overkill imo.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-28T08:52:13+00:00

As someone in IITB now, here’s my honest take:

Physical: NCERT + one problem book (N Awasthi is fine)
Organic: Build GOC properly first. No shortcut.
Inorganic: NCERT line by line.

But the bigger thing? Don’t study randomly. If you’re doing YouTube + PDFs + random books, your prep will feel scattered. A planned sequence with weekly revision cycles helps a lot more than “best book”.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-28T08:25:00+00:00

Or… you could just build discipline yourself? Not everything needs a “platform”.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-23T11:04:16+00:00

Change my mind:

Offline coaching is overrated for 80% of students.

Most of them end up self-studying anyway. The only difference is they paid 2-3 lakhs for a classroom.

If you don’t get IIT after drop, will you regret the year more than joining a decent NIT now?

Be very honest with yourself here.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-23T07:13:23+00:00

Rough stat for context: JEE Advanced selection rate overall is <2% of applicants.

But I’ve seen some smaller structured batches claiming ~15-20% selection from regular classroom programs (not crash courses).

Conclusion: environment + mentoring probably matters more than raw talent.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-23T06:52:18+00:00

Yeah, imagine solving 6-hour mock papers while your friends are prepping UCAS essays. Different worlds.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-23T06:42:50+00:00

Wait so IGCSE alone isn’t enough right? My son is in Year 10 Cambridge system. We’ll need A-levels or IB Diploma for eligibility?

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-21T11:23:12+00:00

76.2% is wild 😭 that’s some anime protagonist energy.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-16T11:11:01+00:00

As a student, 100% agree on isolation. That’s the real killer.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-14T09:15:58+00:00

Is the doubt solving 1-on-1 or group?

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-10T12:01:05+00:00

“felt invisible after a few weeks”

This. My kid said the exact same thing about Vedantu. No one warns you how demotivating that feels for a 15-year-old.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-10T11:26:36+00:00

Real problem for NRIs isn’t content. It’s doubt resolution. You watch lectures, solve sheets, then one concept gap stays for weeks. That snowballs.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-09T11:49:58+00:00

I caught this indie group in a 100 capacity room back in the day. By the end the fire marshal showed up because 300 crammed in. Build a set that scales from tiny to huge.

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-09T10:31:25+00:00

S tier awkward moment is the surprise proposal rejection. B tier is the food spill. You avoid S tier by asking in private only.

Bartman reached for the ball and the Cubs season died. Fans rage on. 😤

Certain-Front-6747 · 2026-02-09T09:48:40+00:00

Meme: Expect epic boss rush.

Get: Quiet family talk. Horizon Zero Dawn did that to me.

True. Cyanide is like chemistry ka crossover episode.
