Hii ! I hope you're having a great day 🌻

I wanted to ask, how do you self attest a copy of your original document??

Sincerely, a confused neet aspirant 🫡

(information on google is all over the place :') )

I had the same doubt a while ago, but now I'm here to clear it up since I've had my attested documents accepted.

Only xerox copies of the original document may be attested when your original documents are in custody of an organization and you need some form of the original to verify your documentation in another organisation.

Attested is of two types: one by a notary and another type being self-attestation. People generally prefer the latter as it is just as valid without the fee in case of multiple documents.

Now, how to self-attest ->

Take a xerox copy of the original in the case I mentioned above in point 1. Take a pen (preferably blue ball since one could easily differentiate between the ink of the xerox and the attestation by you).

Then write the word Attested and sign beneath it. You can put the date in any format if you want. Beneath that, write your name in block letters.

There you go, your document is attested.

Note: Never attest original documents, only xerox copies.

Another Note: If the institution you're applying for demands a specific format of attestation (for example: if they say they require only signature) then you must adhere to those rules. If you just generally want to be prepared, I say any format will do.

All the best for your exam and whatever processes await your admission!💛

Study tips that i learned through failures!

1. It's so important that you do a first read thru of the text as fast as possible. Stick to annotations and brief summarizing notes/outlines. Our brain is constantly making connections even when we're sleeping, so even if you don't understand something at first, getting stuck on it is a waste of your present time AND sleep time. Some things will click while you're doing chores because your brain is still working in the background! But it can't happen if there is nothing to click. Try to expose yourself to all the material as early as possible. [If you're studying math, skip the derivations and proofs in the first read thru and just do the example problems and focus on the underlying assumptions. Depending on the class/exam objective, you might not even be tested on the proof]

2. The breaks. Even if you know you can study 4 hours straight - don't. I used to do this especially when I was anxious, but it just burned me out. Even as quickly as the next day! If you're doing your first pom of the day and you feel really fresh to the point that you feel like you can skip that first break - dont.. it will pile up!

3. The water and the sugar!! This might sound really obvious, but studying burns up so many resources. On days I don't study, I might be okay with 60-70 oz of water, but on days I do, it's normal for me to hit 100 oz. I also ate way more food in general and ate more sugar too, and I think that's pretty normal.

4. Flashcards and practice problems > annotations > having nice notes. It kills me to say it, but the last exam I took (and passed!), I relied on my very disorganized notes/screenshots on my tablet. I didn't have time to organize and transfer them nicely onto paper in order even though every perfectionist cell in my body wanted to soo badly. Making your own textbook can be helpful but I seriously just didn't have the time. Focus on what will actually get you that pass score!

5. Find the note-taking app you like BEFORE your study period or exam season and practice using it! The last thing you want is to fight the syncing mechanism as you're trying to study. I like to use Flexil because of the split screen feature, the linked screenshots, and the cross-platform sync. If you are studying math, either learn latex over the summer/off period so you can use it in Obsidian/Anki or commit to manually written flashcards and notes the whole way. Dont try to switch halfway through because that will be a waste of your time. I personally think writing out the math is faster than typing it out in Latex, but it's your poison (they're both poison). (And if you study any type of math, I 10000% recommend using a tablet)

6. Unless you are studying for fun, orient everything around the class/exam objectives. Unfortunately, you're not gonna have time to be curious. If you don't think something will be tested, quickly cut it out and move on.

7. Figure out what your exam taking weaknesses are. Out of every 10 missed problems, I realized I'd miss a question solely because i input the wrong number into the calculator. Now I say the numbers in my head as I put it in, do it at a relatively slow pace, and break up large formulas into itsy pieces and make sure the output is close to what I expect it to be. I write out all the steps on paper sometimes to make sure every calculation is as expected. You only get once chance during the real thing, so it's important to come up with a policy to reduce risk and to stick to it every time.

By weaving popsicle sticks together in a specific pattern, there is a build up potential energy (stored energy) in the bent and twisted sticks. When released from one end, this stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the sticks rapidly unfurl and fly through the air in a chain reaction.

Wonderful blogs! If you want to, you can check out mine too. I'm going to start med school in a few weeks so I'll be more active soon💛 (I didn't know that was a real tag but I was pleasantly surprised to see it. Nothing against aesthetic blogs but it takes a lot of effort to post that way and also lots of self-security to not do it that way if you don't like it)

Is there an un-aesthetic version of studyblr? I don't want to look at your notes and feel inferior, or see you set up your study table in a way that suggests you never experienced a lick of stress. I want real study tips, that teach me how to study. With the ugly notes where they explain a good way to process the information and write it down that isn't just copying the whole book. I want organisation tips, and how to prepare for tests and reread materials in a way that doesn't take a week per chapter.

Aw, thanks for your love! All the very best soldier, and take enough breaks AND keep yourself hydrated!

If you have any doubts or just wanna discuss experiences, my DMs and askbox is always open💛

Hello World!

I've been part of the studyblr community for a while but was too shy to start my own blog until now. Here goes nothing :')

My name's Dhiya and I've recently completed 12th grade and am now in a drop year, preparing for NEET UG 2025 🩺 (Medical Entrance Exam)

I'm 18, a Virgo, and currently residing in India :) I'm passionate about medicine and dream of becoming a surgeon [totally not because I used to binge-watch The Good Doctor & House]

Feel free to drop me a message if you want to chat or be friends! I'm always up for a good conversation :) My posts might be a bit irregular because of my study schedule, but I'm excited to share my journey and tips along the way!

Some Fun Facts About Me:

I love learning new things, especially if it's related to science or medicine! 🧬

I'm currently into watching true crime documentaries 📺

I loveee playing Minecraft, even though my study schedule is pretty packed and won't spare me time :')

My favorite movie genres are Horror, Mystery, & True Crime (drop some recs)

I have a pet doggo (whom I love very much) and am currently a new plant mom 🪴

I use a lot of emoticons when I type.... you might have figured that out by now O_o

That's all for now :) Happy studying and good luck to all of us! <33

Oh and here are some of my fav blogs who inspire me:

Guys I have a doubt about Maharashtra domicile certificate, namely how and when it is verified during the neet ug state counseling. Should I keep all my LKG to 12th board certificates plus land-related receipts with me for verification, or is the barcode on the domicile enough?

Even if you don't know what this is about, pls pass it on so that it may reach people who do know about this💛

This is the lucky clover cat. reblog this in 30 seconds & he will bring u good luck and fortune.

Hey, just a fellow neet 24 aspirant dropping by to check up on you after the whole debacle. How are you doing? It's honestly so unsettling and devastating. I used to go thru your blog everyday and you used to work so hard omg I truly wish you the best even if the govt fails us.

For me I had dreamt of being a doctor ever since middle school after I saw my grandpa pass away in front of my eyes however this whole scam made me give up on that dream. I don't even have the energy for a drop now. It genuinely sucks.

Also a rant about grace marks. Tell you what even I recieved my paper 20 mins late and you guessed it I didn't get any grace marks. Was it because I wasn't in any "special" centers or because I couldn't go to a court about it. Nta sucks. Hope things work out in your favour. We need hard working doctors like you not some rich dumb kids cuz in the end medical seats can be bought but not lives. Take care~~~

For context: I've been travelling today and when I got your ask, I have had checked the nta website for the new score card at least a hundred times. I'm so tired mentally and about to undermine my self-worth.

Then I get this ask. I open tumblr fully and read the message and almost heave a sigh of relief. This was so kind of you anon. I'm sorry you're in this boat with me. I too am losing the reasons how I would be able to do good by being a doctor. If all my positivity gets negated and is dumped upon by loads of corrupt shit, at the end of the day what will I be allowed to do, how could I serve the health of our society?

These have been my thoughts everyday, sadly.

The grace marks thing is such a farce just by the way they've announced it so "transparently". We still don't know the exact no. of people who've gotten, how many grace marks each of them have gotten, and if each of them have actually approached the court before the results.

Let's hope there's some change in this corruption.

Sending lots of love your way darling💛 sharing some of the little courage I have so that we all sincere students get through this storm

I moved to class 12 recently (it's honestly so weird because i feel like I just gave my 10th boards last week) so can you recommend me any online educators (youtubers basically) who provide good resources for boards specifically?

Hey!

Sorry for answering this a bit late.

Here are some sources that I found helpful for CBSE Boards study:

Sachin Upadhyay Sir - Physics

PW

Shipra Mishra - English

NCERT Highlights by Garima Goel from the Unacademy NEET channel like this

etc.

Best of luck to everyone appearing for isc'24

It's not just the NTA that has put MBBS aspirants in this position.

The number of students qualifying for NEET UG are wayyy more than the number of sanctioned seats in Gov Medical Colleges which are affordable by common public. The ones which qualify NEEG UG but cannot get a gov seat for MBBS have to compromise and opt for BDS, paramedical, AYUSH courses etc. (ps. There are people who don't aspire to be MBBS doctors but want to practice dentistry, homeopathy etc. I'm talking about the unwilling students here)

Or they opt for a seat in a private medical college with an unfairly whopping 7-8 figure fee structure (subject to increment per the institute's whim every year btw).

An imbalance in reservations, number of seats and number of medical colleges always existed in recent times in our country.

Every year there has been some or the other allegation of a paper leak but nothing substantial was done on the allegations. This is the year a lot of issues have directly affected everybody and a public uproar has almost taken to the streets.

I'm writing this reblog after carefully watching and analysing the press conference conducted by the Public Information Bureau on 8th June, 2024 (Sat).

The only new information that has been given out in the conference is that a new 4-membered committee other than the Grievance Addressal Committee (which recommended the 2018 CLAT normalisation formula to NTA btw) will, in the course of 1 week and 2-3 days, will help the NTA take a decision regarding the grace marks fiasco and any other matter. According to the conference, the integrity of NEET UG examination has not been violated or taken for granted in any way, meaning that the claims of a paper leak have been declared baseless as was the case in the earlier Press Release on NTA site.

The system is skewed against justice, it seems, and the mob mentality of the competitive exams has brought about tension, scamming, cheating and biases in the country.

I don't think we can abolish NTA at once, because it's merely a vessel for the biases and possible corruption that are playing with the future of India's children.

NEET 2024 results:

67 students scored 720/720 (itna easy toh nhi tha yaar paper)

Two students from haryana scored 719, 718 marks which is literally impossible. According to NTA, normalization was done because the students weren't provided enough time.(Pure bullshit)

Rank inflation 🤯🤯🤯

AIIMS Delhi will close at 720 for general category, usme bhi Pata nhi kis kisko milega.

Cutoff would be more than 650+ for general category

Re-Neet is very unlikely considering NTA just released results before 10 days to avoid this.

Although Re-NEET is the only way to make this right. Congratulations to all who made it out of this phase

And deep condolences to those who were scoring between 620-650 as their dreams just got shattered by NTA.

In short NTA(National Trauma Agency) need to be replaced by CBSE or AIIMS/JIPMER asap.
