Two years ago, I made a decision.
Luckily, my grandfather stopped me from going there, and I joined FIITJEE in Chennai instead. But then, how could I possibly handle the Andhra competition? I barely study for 3 hours a day...4 if I have an exam the next day. Compare this to 7 or 8 hours a day.
Yes, we all know it-- they treat children like prisoners, but I only realized now, to what extent they are willing to agonize poor students to get ranks. If you can, take a moment to read this.
My physics sir told us that day why we should sympathize with AP-Students rather than be scared of them.
I would get admission into one of the top-rated Andhra coaching centers, and reap the benefits 4 years later. I'd go with determination, and come back a hero.

According to that blog post, students are given 15 minutes in the morning to do their duties, and the rest of the day is scheduled for classes and study hours, with limited breaks here and there. The food isn't exactly appreciated either: rice and curry for 362 days a year, and nothing else. A student gets two trips to home per year, and one visit from his/her parents on his birthday. Students are allowed to go out of the campus only once a month- for 45 minutes, to get a haircut.
Some centers even leak exam papers beforehand. They give the question papers to their students, along with the solutions, and make them memorize the answers. This happens especially for the state board exams. With the JEE Mains having a 40% 12th score as a factor, aren't the honest aspirants cheated of their hard work? The most corrupt coaching center wins.
And the worst part is: The students who come out of those factories don't repent about it either. The intense cruelty they face probably becomes routine to them-- and when they do go to college, they become free birds, and implode.
JEE is not the only insanely competitive test that students fry their brains for-- they face the same amount of competition even for local engineering colleges and even medical seats. Some coaching centers boast of armies in all three. Those students who don't take coaching are, well-- forced to. So we can't blame the students, nor their parents. They all will probably realize one day that not all kids will/want to become engineers and doctors.
If you're a JEE aspirant and you're not from Andhra, don't be scared about your rank. As a famous Pandit once said, studying in a cramped environment only hampers the learning process; it makes your brain mechanical. Studying in a free environment improves you all-round thinking/learning skills, and you'll probably notice that once you join college.
Still pessimistic? Let me tell you how to actually gain the upper hand over them:
P.S: I urgently need an editor. Yes, I understand this blog is small and pathetic and that I'm overly pessimistic and sarcastic, but I've been driving up an excellent revenue (About 7 rupees so far) from this website, and having an editor would surely drive up the cash. Email me if you want to sign up!
P.P.S: Also, all the best for the PDT tomorrow. It's our first Reshuffling test!

- Study for 7+ hours a day. The topper in my centre has a schedule like this: Study from 5pm to 11 pm, and wake up at 3 in the morning to have an extra 3 hours of study. That makes 9 hours.... it makes me feel kinda stupid right now, writing about it...
- Follow our math(s) sir's advice: Study for 10 hours a day. Oh, wait. Have I already mentioned that? My bad.
- Stop all distractions: Yeah, you guessed it. If you're really that passionate to beat the AP-dudes, just click once on the little red cross at the top-right corner of this page and open your book. Also, no TV, no Music, no Hanging out with friends, no Phone, no Junk food. And if you're a XII F1 guy, NO HAND CRICKET.

Ok! Still you had severe competition till you enter prestigious institutes right? So , there is no other option but to accept the challenge and achieve your goal by hard work!
