# My Background: * I'm a **partial dropper** — still enrolled in a strict college where attendance and discipline are tightly monitored. * At the same time, I'm preparing for **JEE 2026** (Mains + Advanced), trying to give it my best shot. * I'm also registered for **NIOS Class 12th** (because I missed out on regular boards due to personal reasons). * On top of that, I've enrolled in the **IIT Madras BS Degree in Data Science and Programming**. So, in total, I'm trying to manage **three major academic paths**: 1. My current college course (due to pressure ) 2. NIOS Board Exams (to be eligible for JEE Advanced and have a proper 12th mark sheet) 3. JEE 2026 (my main goal — I want to crack it seriously) 4. IITM BS Degree (which I genuinely find interesting but it's also demanding) # The Problem: * **Time management is a mess** — lectures from college + assignments from IITM + NIOS books + JEE prep. * **Mentally exhausted** — I can't even figure out where to begin or what to prioritize. * **No proper guidance** — Everyone around me is either confused about my decision or telling me to "just pick one thing." * I'm scared that if I keep doing all of them halfway, I'll fail at everything. # What I Need: * How do I **prioritize** and manage these things together without burning out? * Is anyone else here juggling multiple academic tracks like this? * Would it be wise to **pause** one of these (like IITM or college) to focus on JEE + NIOS? * Is it even **realistic** to do all 3 well? Any advice, frameworks, or personal stories would mean a lot. I'm motivated to study, but I need a **realistic, focused plan** or guidance from those who've been in similar situations. Thanks in advance.
