*BIGGEST MISTAKES STUDENTS MAKE* ❌
1. *Confuse Float & Slide*
Float = College + Branch both upgrade
Slide = Only Branch upgrade, college same
2. *Freeze jaldi kar dena*
Round 1 me hi freeze dabaa diya... Round 4 me IIT mil rahi thi
3. *Float dabaa ke sochna college nahi badlega*
Float me college bhi badal sakta hai. Sirf Slide me college fixed.
*PRO TIP* 💡
Round 1-2: Always *FLOAT* if you have any doubt
Last round: *FREEZE* only when 100% satisfied
*Rule:* “Seat haath se jaaye to dikkat. Seat haath me rahe to tension nahi”
