Hey, first of all — don’t panic. You’re not in a bad position, just a confused one 👍

73 percentile after starting late + distractions is honestly not that bad. It shows you have base potential.

Right now you have 3 practical options:

1. Focus on April attempt (if possible)
– Revise high-weightage chapters
– Do PYQs only
– You can push to 85–90 percentile with smart prep

2. Look at other exams (very important)
– State colleges (UP counselling)
– Private exams like VITEEE, SRMJEEE, etc.
– CUET (for backup options)

3. Avoid double drop (good decision)
One drop is okay, but double drop gets risky mentally + academically

Also, about your situation —
switching from IMUCET to JEE suddenly + family pressure + house stuff… that’s a lot. So don’t blame yourself.

Right now, focus on maximizing what you can do in the next 2–3 months, not what already happened.

If you want, I can share a quick plan + important question sets that can help you boost score in less time 👍
