The student in their post wrote, "To be honest, it's my fault that I didn't clear it; I didn't take this seriously; I was a good student till 10th grade. After that, my downfall started. I don't know; I just started keeping myself away from my studies and not taking them seriously. I just wasted my time these 2-3 years doing nothing. I'm not scared and sad because I didn't clear it; I'm sad because I didn't step on my parent's expectations. Right now, my heart is really heavy, I just don't know what to do. How am I going to tell my marks to my parents? IIT was a dream for me when I started in 11th, but slowly, I don't know what happened; I wanted to go into it, but when it came to doing the hard work for that, my mind and body became lazy, and I started killing my dreams myself."
