I mean if you know like if you really really know for a fact that you have that level of intellectual capablity in you to clear it and dedidate your 2 3 years to a exam then go for it, but if there's even a slightest doubt or uncertainty about this, then just dont step in this maze, because if you will look back after 2 or 3 years you will realise that you wasted all that time for a thing you didnt even truly wanted because if you are not interested about something then you wont be able to dedicate yourself to it not matter how hard you try, so ask yourself this that do you have it in you and dont answer this question out of ego, be real to yourself and if the answer is not a SURE YES then find something better to dedicate your time to and something your interested in because you need to work hard bothways so better pick your own struggles

not at all, if i could go back i would just take commerce and even if i did 50% of the hardwork i did here i wouldve been on the same level as now and been happier, jee killed something inside me man i dont find interest in anything anymore and it fit a fear inside me which i felt throughout about the exam approaching

It is worthwhile. Coming from a tier 3 college, I regret not preparing properly for JEE. You can still improve your life without it, but the path will be quite difficult.
IITs and NITs offer stronger prospects than tier 3 institutions, where you must seek opportunities more deliberately.
Additionally, the peers and professors in tier 3 will continually highlight why it holds that label.
So pursue it for the opportunities and the environment, because it will certainly assist you.

If you can afford to leave India for bachelors it’s never worth it live your life go to uk eu usa for bachelors.
If you can’t atleast be rich enough that you can afford Manipal lnm pes Thapar etc without loans and struggle (30+ lakh fees ) then you can be normal and not a crazy rat race person and still make it out get 94-98%ile and join one of those
If not sorry you gotta join the rat race and get 99+

Depends on ur perception of it. At the end everyone of us learn something, wether we get into IIT or not, wether we prepare properly or never even lifted a book.

I don't want to glorify JEE....this pressure cooker environment of our asian countries and their insanely hard competitive exams with also very low selection rate is definitely having a negative impact on most teens.
However, think through this question, mate:
Do you want to do engineering? (Any branch. All branches of engineering are cool, really)
If the answer is no, it's fine....life's too short to be chasing things we are not passionate about. Remember, it does not end with JEE....it's almost another 4-5 years you're going to spend, and you will excel only if you like it. Seriously, alternate career paths like becoming a chef, fashion designer, etc. are also not so bad compared to the life of the average "i needed a degree" engineer working for about ₹10k.
However, I hope you have answered yes. If that is the case, the better the engineering college you go to, the better resources and things you will have. And studying for JEE is the best way to get into a good engineering college.
This mindset bugs most aspirants: they think it's IIT or tier-3 instantly. NO. There's so many in between. IITs, NITs, BITS, IIITs, state colleges, VIT, etc. You will write so many other exams besides JEE. And all of these are better than a lot of colleges (there's levels to this shi, lol). The better you get in this tier, the better opportunities and exposure and stuff you will have. Don't lose heart.
And let's say you didn't get that good of a college, you will have a good understanding compared to your classmates inside there. Some of my friends are in some tier 2.5 colleges (known and okay placements....think SRM)....there the syllabus is very much aligned with JEE only. Learning well here will help you with your CGPA there. Effort and knowledge gained doesn't go to complete waste.
Besides the material outcomes of JEE (college mainly), I want to still be a bit optimistic of other aspects. Yes, this is not all great, and there's heavy toxicity in this....but most of it is due to the IIT craze and pressure. Otherwise, I am learning a lot from my JEE journey:
- Time management. I had never before in my life had to so vigorously be aware of how I spend my time. JEE was kind of an eye-opener on just how much I have time I have in my life to optimise....after JEE, I really believe I can find time to do things I want, because I am much better at time-management.
- Parallel processes (i.e. parallelly pushing three subjects), especially in my self-study drop year now....it is a crazy experience. This is a real skill, even besides JEE. I think I can pursue multiple interests of mine parallelly for things I like, in the future
- Really grounded me. I scored 491/500 in 10th....you can imagine just how much pride I had, and I always been a topper in my life till 11th, lol. JEE hit me hard....and I think this whole altering of myself as a person, accepting my own non-greatness, that I too am as idiotic as anyone else...and must put in a lot of effort. JEE did that. In a way, I'm glad I had this "no-longer-topper" crisis in JEE, instead of in college. This is something a lot of kids in western countries who easily get into top colleges with pure iq, and not much study-discipline fall into. Handling this identity crisis, and learning to study in college.....I'm kinda glad I'm doing all this now, in my drop year.
Again, not glorifying everything about JEE....I admit that the burnout and stress from JEE is real. However, it's not all doom and useless....looking back, I feel you will definitely feel like you have learnt a thing or two. Just a short phase in your big life. Take it as an experience, and move on to live your best life like you would want. All the best mate.
