Most Disliked Subject in India: Why Students Hate It and How to Beat It

When it comes to most disliked subject, the subject that causes the most stress, dropout thoughts, and last-minute panic among Indian students. Also known as the subject you avoid studying, it’s not just about difficulty — it’s about how it’s taught, tested, and tied to your future. For millions preparing for JEE, NEET, or CBSE boards, that subject is usually Physics, a subject that demands deep conceptual understanding but is often taught as memorized formulas and rigid problem patterns. It’s not that Physics is inherently hard — it’s that students are rarely shown how to think like a physicist, not just solve equations.

Behind Physics, Math, the subject that separates the confident from the crushed. Also known as the subject where one wrong step ruins everything, it’s the silent killer of confidence. A student can ace Chemistry with steady practice, but one misstep in a 6-mark calculus problem can make them feel like they failed the whole exam. And that’s the problem — Math doesn’t reward partial effort. It punishes gaps. Meanwhile, Chemistry, often seen as the "easy" fallback. Also known as the subject you memorize to survive, gets hated too — not for being hard, but for being boring. Too many reactions, too little logic. Students feel like they’re memorizing a recipe book with no kitchen.

What makes these subjects so hated isn’t just the content — it’s the system. Schools rush through concepts. Coaching centers drill shortcuts instead of understanding. Parents push scores, not sense. And students? They’re left believing they’re just "not good at this" — when really, they just never got the right explanation. The truth? The most disliked subject isn’t the hardest. It’s the one you were never taught how to connect to real life. A student who sees Physics in how their phone charges, or Math in how their pocket money grows, doesn’t hate it. They get it.

Below, you’ll find real stories and strategies from students who turned their most hated subject into their strongest. Some cracked JEE after hating Physics for two years. Others went from failing Math to scoring 95%. You’ll see what actually works — not the fake "study 12 hours a day" advice, but the small, repeatable habits that change how you think. No fluff. No hype. Just what happens when you stop fearing the subject and start talking to it.
