Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Exam: Why is it Smart to Give Multiple Entrance Exams?
So… your child is in Class 12. Or maybe you are that child, and this blog is your “productive procrastination” before mock test number 74.
Whichever it is, here’s a little piece of advice from someone who has watched thousands of students go through the entrance exam grind:
👉 It’s wise to give multiple entrance exams.
Now before you groan, “Sir, ek bhi mushkil lag raha hai, aur kitne dilaoge?!”, hear me out.
🎯 1. Because One Shot = A Lot of Pressure
Imagine this: you’ve trained for months, solved past papers, sacrificed Netflix binges, and then…
On D-day, your stomach does somersaults, the AC in the exam hall is set to Antarctica mode, and you misread Question 2 as Question 3. 🙈
That’s it. All or nothing?
Why do that to yourself? When you give multiple entrance exams, you spread the risk. One bad day doesn’t mean your whole year goes down the drain. You’ve got backups. And backups for your backups.
🧠 2. More Exams = More Practice = More Confidence
Every exam has a slightly different style. CLAT loves long passages, IPMAT enjoys a bit of maths and logic dance, SET is the chill cousin.
When you prepare for a variety of exams, you get:
-
Exposure to different patterns
-
Better time management
-
Sharper thinking
By the time your “main” exam comes, you’re like, “Bring it on, exam gods!”
🎓 3. More Choices After 12th = More Peace of Mind
Let’s say you give only one exam – and either you don’t crack it, or worse, you get in but then realize… you’re not into that field.
Too late?
Nope, not if you gave multiple entrance exams.
You could have a law seat, a liberal arts seat, a business seat, and a design backup – all at once.
Then you choose what suits YOU. That’s real power.
👨👩👧👦 4. Dear Parents, This One’s for You…
We know you want the best for your child. But don’t let “Doctor ya Engineer” be the only goal. Times have changed. So have careers.
Giving multiple entrance exams doesn’t confuse your child – it gives clarity. It shows what excites them, where they fit best, and what they’re truly capable of.
And if one exam doesn’t go well, no stress. They’ve got other options.
💡 5. It’s a Small Investment for a Big Safety Net
Yes, some exams have fees. Yes, your child may need to study slightly more.
But compared to a year wasted due to a bad result or a hasty career choice?
This is totally worth it.
🛠️ TL;DR (Too Long, Didn’t Revise)
-
Give multiple entrance exams to reduce pressure and increase chances.
-
It’s like applying to multiple colleges – makes total sense.
-
You get more options, more practice, and more clarity.
-
And who knows? Your backup exam might become your dream career!
✅ Final Thoughts
So students, don’t limit yourself. And parents, encourage your kids to explore. The world after Class 12 is huge, exciting, and full of surprises.
Let’s not gamble on one exam. Let’s play smart.
After all, even your phone has dual SIM.
Why shouldn’t your career have a Plan A, B, and C?
