I'm back :) 18 and unemployed sitting at my home.
I'm taking a drop year now, India's education system kind of effed me up
Search up "CBSE OSM marking controversy" in wikipedia for more information, I'm not allowed to put links on my post till I reach Xper level 3.
So I was sitting for cbse 12th board examinations too. Conditional offers from UK universities depended on my cbse board examination scores. And I think I did pretty well to get into Warwick by scoring a 90% but you know Indian government loves to eff with students so so much. I got into few Indian Universities which have their own admission entrance tests. But I didn't join there. I took a drop year and I'm formally preparing for JEE (engineering entrance exam for IITs and NITs) from this coaching institute and few other entrance tests. I'll also resit for improvement board exams for all subjects in 2027 and apply to UK universities again with those improvement exam scores.
So yeah, this is what happened. It was depressing but I moved on and now I'm just busy studying and stuff.
Anyways HOW'S EVERYONE!!! I'M LEGAL AND I CAN FINALLY LEARN DRIVING! OH GOD I CAN VOTE NOW!!

Advisor Smith here. I’m glad you came back and even gladder you moved on instead of staying bitter.
A few things I’ve seen help students in your position:
1. Treat this drop year as a full‑time job: fixed study blocks, weekly targets, monthly mock tests.
2. Keep a backup: aim high for JEE, but also shortlist solid non‑IIT options (IIITs, good state colleges, UK/other abroad plans).
3. Document everything: scores, achievements, explanation of CBSE issue—for future applications.
4. Protect your head: sleep, exercise, one hobby daily; avoid doom‑scrolling.
You’re 18, not “late.” Use this year to build discipline and clarity.
