Jee Main Experience

April 8th, the day for which I worked hard for 3 years finally came. I woke up early and revised chemistry for 2 hrs and solved 2–3 math problems. That's all I have done in the morning. I reached the exam centre. It was already filled with many students and anxious parents. Some students were calm. I found one guy still solving his coaching material. I was shocked. I tried to calm myself. I went into the hall. I sat in my place. I spent an hour and half sitting idle. Now the real story begins. The omr and the paper were supposed to be given at 9:15. We didn't get. 9:20 still we didn't get. 9:25 we got. Ok I started filling the details. All those formalities were done by 9:50. I'm not joking. This was the exact time. By then I thought I'm done for nothing. I started math. I solved the first question. I got it. It gave me some confidence. I started doing the other questions. They were lengthy. I started feeling uncomfortable. I randomly switched to physics section. I started solving from back. Found some easy questions. Solved 5–6 questions. Again randomly switched to chemistry. Solved 20–25 straight away. I left some in between though. I wasn't confident about it. The chemistry paper was entirely on a different level this time. Although chemistry only saved me in the end. Now I was sweating only one hour left. Nothing was done properly. I started to solve math as fast as possible. Solved as many as possible. Only 30 mins left and bubbling was also left. I started to bubble all the answers I got. They were very few. I thought the game was done. Only 20 mins left. I was searching for easy questions. It was like searching for water in a desert. I didn't guess anything. I was sweating profusely. Only five mins left. I was able to solve only one question in physics in those 5 mins and my disastrous jee main was finally done.

I felt very bad. I knew I didn't perform well. I messed up. I lost hope for advance too. I came out of the centre and my mother was waiting outside. She didn't ask me anything. She understood that my paper didn't go well. I told my mother not to put any expectations on me. I told her that I wouldn't qualify. She was sad. She didn't say anything in our journey back home. After eating lunch, I checked if any coaching has released the key. First I was very scared to check. Then I thought, I can't bear this pressure anymore. I started checking. Finally I counted my marks. Then I realized that God helped me.

My score is

Math: 73

Physics:58

Chemistry:85

Total:216

After this I was relieved. Forget 250, I thought I wouldn't even qualify. But I crossed 200. That itself was too much for me.

My rank:3859

All the best!!!
