@tls123 hey buddy, if you really wanna be a researcher in physics(if that's where your taste truly lies considering your multitude of potential) you might have to take the IISER,NISER etc exam.... especially NISER since you get a monthly stipend of roughly rs8000 or beyond.... Still it's a rat race(as it's a given to all our entrance exams) but they're comparatively less desperately sought one's. Given your marks if you have to consider dropping a year and sign up to an reputed institute online (which is the cheapest for one year coaching course) that's gonna cost you roughly 30k rs a yr. But hey, dropping a yr is not that bad yk. Take your age to your advantage, you can do part time jobs too along the way too. Some guy I know made it just by watching YouTube videos and internet resourcing(ya no need for crying blood). if you have got a phone and network connection, that's your weapon,.. there's free apps available too. The entrance path, as always especially these times, are arduous and not something anyone can handle. BUT, know this your fears about whether you'll make it or not, is common for entrance crackers. You never know until the day you finally make it. I know it's tough given your circumstances. Don't be pressured, and don't be too hard on yourself. Just relax and think about what you wanna do to uplift yourself. Talk openly with your family. Yk, neet and jee are not the end of the world.... Be optimistic man 😊
