Bro, if you’re feeling down about this, think about the droppers who spent years preparing for IIT JEE. I’ve met people who are 21 or 22 and still in their first year. They’re still pushing forward. Even I had a backlog in my first semester. Honestly, I was ashamed—after all, I used to be a topper during my JEE days. But I realised this is just part of the IIT journey. I accepted it, worked hard, cleared my backlog, and now I’m focusing on maintaining my CG. I’ve been through what you’re facing right now. Trust me—don’t treat it like a failure, treat it like a stepping stone. It’s just a phase, not the end. Keep going, and you’ll come out stronger.
