I failed to qualify jee..what to do.

You failed in a exam. Not your life. This is a simple guide for you to move on with life. So here we begin..

For those who have not qualified in the first attempt:
Please study hard. Its not impossible. I have been there and have done that. Its really hard to be honest. But if you are determined its worth a try. Otherwise stick to your other plans if you don't want to spend another year of preparation over jee exam.

For those who have failed in there final attempt:
1) Look out for good options other than the iits. There are several other branches in other colleges than requires your attention. Some are at par with the standards you expect. Remeber its not the end of the world. Its just an exam. Most of the famous people you see on tv have not qualified IITJEE. You can still make a huge difference without the tag. Your work matters not the name of the institute. The name of the institute just ensures the reputation of good students placed in industries, so it creates more oppurtunities than others during the campus. But a company hires an able candidate on or off campus. Its important to know the subject rather than going after the name of institute. You can become a much more successful engineer, even if you don't study in the iits.
2) Follow a good hobby, a nice routine and enjoy with whatever options you have. Take mind off you failure. Do what you do best. Everyone does it to remove stress. Moving on is very important for a positive attitude. Don't ponder or repent over your mistakes. Also do not pay attention what your neighbour has to comment on your failure. No one and I mean it, no one has the right to judge what you are capable of doing or not doing. There is nothing like impossible.  Set another target, another goal and follow it with your heart. Yoga is good. Morning walks, painting, music are also nice options. Most importantly see life with a new perspective. Remember every new day is a present to you and you have to enjoy it to the maximum.
3) Sit with your friends and share memories, have a chat, roam around. 'Anything but studies and discussion about studies or jee'should be the condition from your side. Get out of the house. Do not lock youself in. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Failure is permitted, remorse over it is not. Go wild, do crazy stuff. For a few days, pack your books and hide them in a closet. No HC VERMA, no Irodov, NO TUTES, NO ARIHANT. Only an empty study tables and a clean room.
4) Finally the most important thing " spend some time with your parents". You might have never realised they are great people to hangout with. And you won't ever feel uncomfortable with them. I shared similar time with my mother. There is a saying "time is a great healer". Its true, and the rate of healing increases if you remain happy with a positive attitude.
