It's understandable that your 10th grade score might be affecting your JEE prep. Here are some tips to help you move forward:

 * Focus on the present: Dwelling on the past can be unproductive. Channel your energy into your JEE preparation by setting realistic and achievable goals.

 * Identify areas for improvement: Analyze your 10th-grade performance to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on improving weaker areas in subjects relevant to JEE.

 * Learn from mistakes: Use your 10th-grade experience as a learning opportunity. Identify areas where you could have performed better and implement those learnings in your JEE prep.

 * Seek inspiration: Talk to successful JEE aspirants or mentors who can share their experiences and motivate you.

 * Believe in yourself: It's important to have faith in your abilities. Remember, your 10th-grade score doesn't define your potential for JEE.

Riddhi there is a difference between hope and expectation. I am sure you must have had prepared well for exam but the point the preparation are much more focused and tactful attempt of the paper. You should go through the previous years papers in every case be it academic exam or competitive and understand the time management to score maximum even if you are 60% prepared and believe me it's possible. Make small targets or even smaller and appreciate yourself when you achieve them. Don't dwell much in to the past rather learn from mistake and find out what went wrong because it's very important stay focused now a days. HOPE don't EXPECT after giving your 100%.

Use this experience as motivation to fuel your JEE preparation. Focus on the progress you're making each day rather than dwelling on past setbacks. Set realistic goals, break your study sessions into manageable chunks, and celebrate small victories along the way. Most importantly, believe in yourself and your ability to succeed.

You should not be disheartened.. 10th marks and jee score are not at all related. Saying this from my personal experience, your 10th score will not decide your future. The most important thing for getting success is to keep yourself motivated and consistent. Don't give up.. just work out on the areas where you think you could have scored better.. and study hard and stay positive.. you will definitely succeed in your life if you will keep working hard..

Look into the reasons for your marks. Students should learn lessons from their mistakes. Taking excuses and backing is easy. Those who challenge and face are brave and successful. Forget your past . Focus on bright future. Learn and practice from day 1. Never repeat the mistake and never be lazy. All the best.
