JEE Main 2017 results are not so far now. The result will be
out by this week. The worry levels are high and students who appeared for the
exam are already in their panic mode. Some students would crack the exam, some
won't. At this crucial juncture of their lives, support from parents is
mandatory not only to help them overcome their fear but also to guide them
through this career defining phase. While parents may have the best interest at
their heart but sometime they falter because they don't know what to do and how
to guide their children. Some suggestions are there for parents in case their
child does not perform well in the JEE main exams.
1. Don't
compare: There would be numerous students around you who would do well
in JEE Main. Do not compare your child's performance with other children. Every
child is unique in their own way and by comparing them with someone else you
undermine their individuality and lower their confidence. Your child might
already be feeling bad for not clearing the exam. So instead of giving them
example of the neighbor's son help them understand that one failure does not determine their worth.
2. Understand the reason for failure: Sometimes
children opt for a stream only because their friends are doing so or they think
that it is what's expected of them. Sit with your child and try to figure out
why they did not do well in the exam. Trying to understand their reason for
under performance may also help you understand your child's real interest and
you can guide them accordingly.
3. Help them find other options: JEE
Main is not the end of story. There are numerous options available. Sit with
your child and help them explore alternatives. If your kid wants to take a
break for one year and prepare for the exams, then help them devise a plan for
the same.
4. Allow them some respite: JEE Main exams were conducted immediately after the boards. Even if they did not do well, but you cannot deny the fact that kids go through too much stress during boards and JEE exams. So let them have some peace now. Don't send them in panic. There will always be a good option available if not engineering from an IIT or NIT or IIIT or other such institutes.
5.Inspire them to join some skill
development classes: Until your child decides what they wish to do or
study further why not encourage them to join some skill development classes or something
which is of interest to them. This way they would be using their free time in
learning something useful instead of just stressing over their career
options.
