r/JEENEETards

I'm in 11th grade and I just started my JEE journey.

I'm just very unlucky. I can't convince my parents for opting for either online or offline coaching.

I earlier went to offline coaching allen regular weekend batch but yk na weekend batch 8 hrs continuous for sat Sunday 50% things wasn't cleared in my mind so I decided to gave it up

They said they'd send me to offline Allen in 12th grade not in 11th

They won't even let me buy cheap batch of PW Arjuna which is for 5k

PLS HELP ME

Is my IIT dream over?

Is there really no way to prepare in class 11 JEE for free?

I swear this country treats engineering like the default spawn point for every “smart” kid.

Score good in 10th?, IIT krle

Take PCM? Ab to JEE hi Krna h

And just like that, another teenager gets thrown into the same NPC factory pipeline that lakhs before him already got crushed in.

What genuinely pisses me off is how nobody lets students become actual PEOPLE before turning them into rank-producing robots.

A kid barely starts understanding himself and suddenly his entire existence becomes modules, PYQs, test series, ranks, percentile, AIR edits with emotional music

Like bhai when exactly are students supposed to discover

what they actually enjoy,

what they’re naturally good at,

whether they even LIKE engineering,

or who they are outside academics?

Most JEE aspirants aren’t chasing passion.

They’re chasing survival.

Fear of being called average.

Fear of disappointing parents.

Fear of “log kya kahenge”.

Fear of ending up broke.

Fear of being left behind while others cracks IIT.

That’s not ambition.

That’s straight-up anxiety packaged as motivation.

And the coaching industry milks the hell out of it.

These mfs literally market suffering like it’s some heroic anime training arc.

“Sleep less.”

“Grind harder.”

“Sacrifice everything.”

“2 saal ki tapasya.”

Meanwhile actual teenagers are sitting in tiny rooms destroying their mental health thinking one exam decides whether they deserve respect or not.

And the worst part?

This shit is SO normalized that nobody even questions it anymore.

A 16-year-old having panic attacks because of mock scores?

Normal.

Students feeling guilty for taking ONE day off?

Normal.

People isolating themselves for 2-3 years straight?

Normal.

Kids attaching their entire self-worth to percentile?

Apparently normal too.

Bhai this is not normal.

This is collective psychological damage.

And before somebody comments “hard work to karna padega”

obviously bhai.

Nobody is anti-hardwork.

But there’s a difference between

working hard for something you genuinely want

and

being emotionally blackmailed into one socially approved life path before your frontal lobe even develops.

India doesn’t have a talent shortage.

It has an exploration shortage.

So many students could’ve become insane designers, filmmakers, writers, founders, researchers, musicians, athletes, product builders, creators but the system never gave them space to even TRY.

Everything becomes

safe option

safe degree

safe job

safe life

And then 10 years later people wonder why half the country is burned out and directionless.

The saddest part is watching students slowly lose personality during prep.

Funny people become silent.

Creative people stop creating.

Confident people become insecure.

Curious people become formula machines.

You literally watch human beings turn into productivity statistics.

And statistically speaking?

Most people grinding for JEE won’t get IIT anyway.

But nobody emotionally prepares students for that reality because society has already hardcoded this bullshit equation into everyone’s brain

IIT = successful human

Not IIT = wasted potential

So when students don’t crack it, they don’t just feel disappointed.

They feel like THEY failed as people.

Imagine carrying that pressure at 17 years old man.

Actually insane.

And even the ones who “win” sometimes end up realizing:

“wait… I never even wanted this.”

Now they’re stuck speedrunning DSA, CGPA, internships, placements, MBA prep, constantly chasing the next checkpoint because nobody taught them how to think beyond the rat race.

Honestly this system doesn’t just prepare students for exams.

It trains them to seek validation forever.

Guys i am a fellow class 12th student.

I am also a victim to OSM.

I am not getting into IIM Shillong Cuz of that and i am destroyed from inside.

Anyone of you remember a poem that was in our History books when we were class 9th.

Poem:

First they came for the Communists,

And I did not speak out,

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists,

And I did not speak out,

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists,

And I did not speak out,

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews,

And I did not speak out,

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

This is whats happening no one gives a shit until they are on the receiving end.

We are fricked and no one's gonna help us, gonna release a video soon. But I don't think that matters in a country where we can't give justice to Kolkata R*pe case.

Our case is far more small in front of that one. They know we are gonna rant for few days and forget. All the media and influencers are just hoping onto what's hot. (Samay rainas situation)

If getting into streets doesn't change anything (Kolkata case) I don't think online protest will do something, reality is India's administration doesn't give a shit about anyone even our PM or Educational minister hasn't posted a thing about it.

Only 2-3 lakh students were affected. That's just 1/9th of the students they won't give a fu** about us. Students who got good marks will not say a thing as they were not a victim of this.

Sorry i yaped a lot.. I just wanted to let my thoughts out somewhere...

This country is going towards complete torment(Needs Nepal treatment fr)

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the current reservation system and its impact on students. It appears that many who benefit from these policies come from wealthy backgrounds, yet they receive opportunities over those who achieve higher marks but lack the same advantages. This creates an environment where hard work is not being fairly rewarded.

I believe that reservations should be limited to one generation per family to ensure the system remains fair and truly supports those in need. Without addressing these imbalances, I worry about the long-term impact on our country's future
