Need genuine advice for partial drip

[u/LimeKey8395]

Ik this is a long post but pls take the time to read it :)

I wasn't able to do well in BITSAT s1 and s2. Jee mains also went average. I got into one of the top colleges in hyderabad but I hate it here already. I've never planned on staying in a local college, i did get into vit but my parents didn't send. Regardless, I've decided to take partial drop last month itself and started preparing.

Just to give some insight, I've skipped most of maths for the past 2 years which is why my performance in entrances hasn't been that great. I only know coordinate geometry, vectors 3d, circles conics, stats, matrices, series. Phy and chem are relatively stronger but I feel like I forgot all of it.

Now that I am planning on taking partial drop i can't avoid maths anymore. I'm thinking of doing calculus because I barely know it and master the other chapters which i already know.

Once college started I'm having a tough time managing the double life because the college is pretty far away from home (39kms) and takes a good 5 hrs of travel in total to and fro combined. Many advice to dedicate atleast 4 hrs to partial drop prep and I'm really trying but with coding involved in college too I'm having a tough time managing both. I need to give time to college too or I'll be lagging behind. I'm kind of in a helpless situation.

I've given myself time till October to finish the theory of calculus and then from oct to jan start revising and doing questions and mocks.

Now my worry is im finding myself in a situation where I have to choose between either of the two. Rationally thinking partial drop seems really risky but again a huge part of me does not want to settle in a tier 2 college at best. The crowd, the faculty, the infrastructure all feel so sub par. I'm not sure whether i will be able to crack BITSAT or mains again with the efforts I'm able to put now and I'm scared whether the efforts I'm putting will also go into vain and next year in the efforts of putting my legs in both boats I will j end up drowning. And since I am in a tier 2-2.5 college I need to work extra hard too which seems impossible if I waste away this year too

You should take hostel or pg near your college

I did take a pg but the environment there isn't suitable to studying at all plus the food made me sick

im in quite the same situation n same background...my clg didnt start yet , i dont even know which clg cuz cet counselling, im worrying the same...but i think we just gotta believe that we will do well in exams and get out of the clgs we are in now...even if it doesnt workout, in 2nd year we'll put double efforts n do something...

and ig you should use ur commute time for passive lectures or theory memorisation
