I am a class leader as a private candidate, but my problem is how should I manage my JEE and boards and class 11th? I thought that I will study from class 12th JEE batch and for2-3 hours. I study class 11th in 2 to 3 days in a week. But some people say that study from a dropper bath, because in the eyes of India, I am a dropper.

Hello student,

Balancing JEE preparation, Class 11th studies, and your role as a class leader can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can manage it efficiently. Here’s how you can proceed:

  1. Focus on Fundamentals : Since you're preparing for JEE, it's important to have a strong foundation in Class 11 concepts, as many JEE topics are interlinked. Ensure you're covering Class 11 topics regularly while balancing Class 12 syllabus.

  2. Smart Time Management :

    • For JEE Preparation : Study Class 12 topics from your JEE batch for 2-3 hours daily. This keeps you aligned with the JEE syllabus.

    • For Class 11th : Dedicate 2-3 days a week to review Class 11 material. You don’t need to spend hours daily; consistency is key.

    • As Class Leader : Allocate a specific time for leadership tasks without compromising your studies. Set boundaries and delegate if possible.

  3. Use a Timetable : Create a balanced timetable where you allocate study hours for both JEE and Class 11th. Ensure you're revisiting Class 11 topics on days when you're not focusing on JEE preparation.

  4. Quality Over Quantity : Avoid overloading yourself. Focus on efficient study techniques such as active recall, spaced repetition, and practicing problems regularly. This will make your study time more productive.

  5. Don't Worry About Being a "Dropper" :

    • In reality, a "dropper" batch is meant for students who take a year to focus solely on JEE preparation. But since you're in Class 11th, you're not really a dropper.

    • Everyone's journey is different, and the pressure from others should not affect your strategy. You’re still building a solid base for your future exams.

  6. Mental Health : Balance your study schedule with breaks and relaxation time. Overloading yourself can lead to burnout, which will hinder your performance in both Class 11 and JEE.

Lastly, stay consistent, stay positive, and don't let others' opinions about being a "dropper" affect your confidence. You're building a strategy that works for you, and that's the most important part!
