Reasaons leading to a "Drop"

Frankly speaking,who would like to waste a period of his life just doing the same old repititive stuff.Repitition of all those things that you may have done before.............well afcourse not me. But I had to. Even i am a reluctant dropper. I could not make it to the top ,and flunk in my Law Entrances.

I quote the various reasons as follows:

1) Complacency : We all are quit complacent in the beginning "oh! I'll make it through","C'on it's not a Himalayan task" are a few statements we make in the beggining,but when we fail ,we realize how complacent we had been on our approach,

2) Wrong Approach : Sometimes we do not shape our journey as we should have,partly due to lack of resources,ignorance, which deters us from making it.

3) Strong Competition : As happens with most of the Droppers, students are not well prepared to face the already prepared ones.They need timeto nurture their knowledge for that level.

4) Luck : Some believe in it,some do not. But it does play a part in one's life. I believe it's 95% hard work and 5% Luck,but even that 5 % does matter !!

Meaning of "Dropper" in the Indian Educational index

Well, most of the students and parents must have definitely heard of this word before.For those who don't , "Dropping" means exta-time given by students in preparation for various competitive examinations of India.Examinations like IIT-JEE,CAT,CPMT,AIIMS,IAS,PCS are extremely tough to crack,and usually require special attention, So various Students across India "drop" the whole year "or a few months" to give their best shot for such hardcore competitions. Such students in Educational jargon are called "Droppers"!!
