Think About How This Means To You
Ask yourself if engineering is your passion and if you gave your best into this. If you did give your best and it still didn't work out, then consider other college options. You should stick to your passion for studying engineering rather than worrying about losing out on the top college.
In the other case, if engineering is not your passion and instead of your parent's wish, then you should be happy that you have your best. If you failed, in the end, it does not matter what matters is that you gave your everything. And look at the positive that you don't have to make your career in this field if you are not interested in it.
Always Remember that, Your JEE Main Scores Are Not Only For The IITs
Your JEE Main score can help you easily take admission into top private colleges of 8-10 states. Students can take the help of the JEE Main College Predictor tool, which is available on online education portals.

They also get to know other information related to the college, and JEE Main alone has a large number of colleges and universities its participants apart from the IITs. These could be good options for you.

Thing You Should Always Remember
Lastly, if getting into one IIT mean everything for you, if your entire childhood has been building up to this moment, then not being able to crack the JEE Main can feel very disappointing.
You feel like this because of the way your mind was modulated from a young age into thinking that this is the only option you have, but this is not like that at all. There are many options you have for high-class engineering education. But if you really want to study in an IIT, then you can multiple chances this year as we told you. Take your time to figure out things and give your 100% in it.
Sometimes, the pressure that the parents create on students cracks their minds when they fail to crack the exam. In many cases, they take the path of ending their own lives, and it is not a surprise because sometimes the pressurized brain doesn't work properly.
So, do not feel low or dejected as this is not the end of the world. You have many options and various opportunities. Look at the positive side and look at the other paths. You can still make it big without the IIT tag. Always remember there are people who are doing brilliant things, and they are not even a part of IIT. Put your heart and soul into what you are doing.
