My aim is to become an engineer

In 2017, I passed Class 12 with PCM. My aim is to become an engineer but unfortunately I didn’t get a good rank in JEE. I wanted to take the JEE again so I decided to give up one year for preparation. But my parents decided that I should join a local degree college. I again applied to JEE. I have successfully completed the first semester in degree college, but now as my preparation for JEE is in the final four months I am not able to manage both of them at same time. What can I do now? I am thoroughly confused and stressed. How can I overcome this stress?

Were you studying for JEE throughout the year? If you were studying then during the remaining time, you can easily allot time to prepare for both the exams. But if you were not studying earlier and thought that you could make up during the last few months, then it’s difficult to get a good rank in JEE. In that case, it’s better to study for your graduation.
