I am coming across as very pessimistic and negative, but I am being honest. Sadly, the best place to do your bachelors in CS is IIT, and it requires you to top a PCM exam. Which sucks. I know dicks in my class with awesome knowledge of those subjects, but no actual passion for CS. They will top the PCM exams and hog places up in degrees that they might not even like.

That's exactly how my classmates are like. They barely know anything about CS, but they are awesome when it comes to the subjects like PCM. :/

So, studying. School study will not get you through. I'd say, study less, solve more. Solve stuff you have no idea of. Have 2 subjects that you feel comfortable studying. I like C and M, personally. I was the most motivated student in, I daresay, my year, to the point of obsession. Sadly, I lost patience and I became double as demotivated as I was inspired. Fuck it. Also, most students lose themselves in attending classes so much that they forget the most important thing - self study. Classes are your guides, to self study. My senior, who is an aquaintance, left his class in 12th and self studied like a bitch for the year. His AIR was 11.

If you don't mind, could you tell me how you have prepared for IIT? Did you take Dummy admission or something? Do you go to Coaching Institutes? Also, is dropping an year for hardcore preparation, like your friend did, worth it? I mean like, yeah he got AIR 11, which is fucking awesome but did taking an year off affect his career?

Also, should I take Dummy Admission? One of my friends told me that it gives you a lot of time for preparing, but a teacher of mine told me that it would affect my board marks, please help.

I have lost a lot of moments, relations and life in the pursuit of IIT, driven to the point of thinking of running away/suicide. My conclusion is that it is not worth it. I have lost a lot, gained not much and I know that IIT or no IIT, I am doing CS, and I will so good. Who cares? That combined with the pain of losing someone.. Well, not easy. Well well well, look at me, I am getting quite sentimental! It's up to you. Choose wisely if you have the balls, for it's a fucking mental test! I do not want to scare you. I want to warn you. Another last advice, better to solve 60 good sums rather than solving 1000 easy sums and simply fool yourself. Best wishes, Rajat.

Thanks so much man, I really appreciate your help.

All the best for your JEE exam man, phaad diyo is baar.
