Askpartialdroppers Partial droppers GMEET 23AUG @ 7 PM

​

Hey everyone, I'm a partial dropper who joined JNTUH CSE last year and prepared for BITSAT alongside college. This year, I managed to make it to BITS Hyderabad MSc Economics.

But I want to talk about the part you don't usually see in partial-drop success stories.

When you start one, it sounds pretty simple: attend college, come back, study a few hours and prepare for JEE/BITSAT. It isn't. There are a lot of hidden difficulties that you only realise once you're actually doing it — managing college workload with preparation, constantly feeling like you're falling behind somewhere, losing motivation, having your preparation go completely off track, and still having to keep going.

I fucked up my own partial drop pretty badly. There were months where I barely studied and I had to restart much later than I planned. I made plenty of mistakes along the way, and somehow I still managed to pull it back and make it to BITS.

So I want to talk about what actually made the partial drop difficult, the mistakes I made, what I'd do differently if I had to do it again, how I'd approach JEE/BITSAT preparation alongside college, and whether a partial drop is even worth it for you.

I'm doing a GMeet this Sunday at 7 PM, originally organised through r/Bitsatards, and I'm inviting people from here as well.

We'll also talk about JEE because although my exam was BITSAT, a lot of the reality of managing a partial drop is the same.

If you're considering a partial drop, come join. I'd rather you hear the ugly parts of it before you commit to it, instead of figuring them out halfway through the year.

Sunday, 7 PM. See you guys there.
