Im a senior from BITS Pilani, 312/390 in 2024, I have some advice for ‘26 aspirants.

bhai main bhi koi 11th se olympiad topper type banda nahi tha, mera prep bhi kaafi average hi tha initially. JEE Mains mein decent score aaya but kuch extraordinary nahi, aur honestly main bhi BITSAT ko pehle utna seriously nahi le raha tha. pehla mock diya tha toh 240s mein atka hua tha, paper complete nahi hua, aur bahar aake sirf regret feel hua ki “ye kar sakta tha, wo kar sakta tha”.

us phase mein sabse bada issue knowledge nahi tha, control nahi tha. har question pe jump karna, tough questions mein atak jaana, aur end mein time khatam.

turning point tab aaya jab maine accept kiya ki problem meri preparation nahi, meri approach hai. uske baad maine bas mocks pe focus kiya. har 2 to 3 din mein ek full mock, aur usse bhi zyada time analysis pe. literally har galti likhta tha, kis type ki hai aur kyun hui. dheere dheere patterns clear hone lage, kaunse questions turant pick karne hain, kaunse skip karne hain, aur kab section switch karna hai. english aur lr pe pehle dhyaan nahi deta tha, but jab usko seriously liya tab realise hua ki ye sabse low effort high return section hai.

last 20 to 25 days mein mera score 270s se 300+ jump hua, and final attempt mein 312 aaya. aur sach bolu toh wo jump kisi naye chapter se nahi aaya, wo sirf better decision making aur calmness se aaya.

isliye tum logon ko ek hi advice hai, abhi bhi time hai but galat direction mein mat bhaago. naya padhne se zyada important hai jo aata hai usko sahi use karna. mocks ko exam treat karo, analysis ko prep treat karo. ego hatao, apni mistakes accept karo, aur unko fix karo. english aur lr ko ignore mat karo, free marks hai. aur sabse important, kisi aur ka score dekhke apna mindset mat hilao.

BITSAT unpredictable hai, but ek cheez predictable hai, jo banda last month mein adapt karta hai wo hi upar jata hai. agar tum consistent rahe, toh jump possible hai, maine khud experience kiya hai.

P.S I am also a mentor in the crackIT bitsat community for ‘26 aspirants, if you are taking the test series, i will most likely be assigned to you, i just wanted to clarify some important points so that you guys ace the BITSAT second session

print on demand is great until you hit the label stage

my print on demand side hustle with custom mugs and apparel has been growing nicely this spring but the labeling process is killing my momentum with mother's day deadlines coming up. i need to merge excel data for barcodes, qr codes and shipping info onto thermal rolls and nothing does it cleanly. free online tools cap out fast and the printer software we use keeps having alignment issues or looking amateur. i've checked out some paid programs in the few hundred dollar range but the reviews are mixed. anyone doing print on demand actually found a barcode generator that handles the volume without constant reprints?

My daughter broke my favourite Pot lid

I bought this new set of cookware that looks so good though fragile. Its lid was made of glass so beautiful. I usually use it for special dishes. Well for some reason my 9yrs old decided to show me she has learnt a lot from the cooking lessons she watches on YouTube because I don’t like her near the kitchen when I cook.

She decided to surprise me with a spaghetti dish she wanted to prepare for me. Mind you I wasn't aware of this. I was in the living room with my husband when I heard a glass shatter in the kitchen. We rushed in thinking maybe she hurt herself while trying to take some food from the pot just to find the lid of my favourite size pot on the floor in pieces.

I first rushed towards my daughter to check if she was hurt. She said she wasn't, that the cover rolled down from the kitchen counter when she opened the pot to taste what she was preparing. Well I was so glad she wasn't injured and pretty sad to see the shattered lid on the floor. I asked her what she was preparing with her adorable face, she explained everything. I was so touched, I couldn't be mad at her, so I told her to get the broom so we can swipe this up and finish off the meal together.

Well I am still thinking on how to replace this lid, do they sell pot lid outside its set. The set costs quite a lot, changing the entire set is not really the best. If you know where I can get a cookware part whether on Amazon or Alibaba please dm. It doesn't have to be the exact one just something that fits the pot
