Common mistakes

Mistake

Deciding from one viral rank screenshot, placement post, or family comment instead of a written comparison.

Mistake

Ignoring fees, documents, reporting deadlines, category/quota filters, or active-year official notices.

Mistake

Deleting realistic options too early because the first emotional reaction after result week felt permanent.

Troubleshooting

If the plan breaks

AreaWhat to know
If you feel stuckShrink the task to one concept, ten questions, or one counselling comparison. Momentum matters more than a perfect plan.
If advice conflictsTrust official notices for dates/rules and use mock/PYQ evidence for study decisions.
If time is shortDrop low-return expansion, keep formulas/NCERT/PYQs active, and protect sleep before tests.
