The Journey of Overcoming Adversity: My JEE Main 2020 Experience

Understanding the Challenging Landscape of JEE Main 2020

The JEE Main 2020 was a challenging examination as it is every year. The difficulty level varied across different sessions and subjects. Some students found the exam to be tougher than previous years while others reported it to be similar or easier. However, overall, the JEE Main 2020 was a competitive exam that required thorough preparation and strong problem-solving skills.

My First Attempt in JEE Main 2019

My journey to cracking the JEE Main 2020 began with my first attempt in 2019. I secured a 95.2 percentile on my first attempt. Initially, I felt happy, but as I realized the insignificance of that score, I was devastated. I had nothing more to say to my family. Overwhelmed with sadness, I went back to my studies determined to make the best of my second attempt.

Second Attempt in JEE Main 2019

The results of my second attempt in JEE Main 2019 improved to a 98.2 percentile. However, it was still not good enough for the top branches in the top NITs. That year, I ranked 13K in the JEE Advanced 2019. My two years of effort amounted to nothing, and I was devastated. I did not want my story to end like this. I had worked hard and wanted to get the results I deserved.

Decision to Take a Drop Year

After my second attempt, I decided to take a year off. My drop year was lonely, filled with the monotony of solving questions every day. This routine repeated daily for an entire year. In my free time, I would open Facebook or Instagram and see posts of my friends enjoying college fests and society events, while I had been stuck in an endless loop of preparation, with no guaranteed success. The studying was stressful, but the fear of failure and the possibility that three years of my life might amount to nothing was even more stressful.

Reflections on the Dropout Year

Despite the challenges, I kept going. The dropout year was tough, but it taught me the importance of perseverance. Every moment, every question solved brought me closer to my goal. I was determined to turn the pages of my life and write a new chapter.

Result Day of the First Attempt in JEE Main 2020

Fast forward to the result day of my first attempt in JEE Main 2020. I secured a 99.86 percentile, which was a great relief. Finally, peace at last. My hard work and determination paid off. The result matched my expectations, and it was a moment of pure joy.

Conclusion

My journey to the JEE Main 2020 is a testament to the importance of perseverance, dedication, and the occasional relief from the monotony of preparation. It is a reminder that sometimes, taking a step back can lead to a better future. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but with the right mindset and consistent effort, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.
