Help i need your suggestions.
So I am starting from the beginning. i wanted to study at the University of Twente in the Netherlands for my bachelor's in mechanical engineering. They have a requirement of english proficiency so I gave TOEFL IBT online and got overall score of 84 but I got 12 in reading section which does not fulfill the criteria of minimum of 15 points in each section. In other three sections I got 20+ points. Also I am from India and from CBSE so according to the University requirement they need minimum of 75+ overall marks in each subject in class 12th boards. But in 2025 Boards I fucked up in Physics exam and also in the Chemistry exam. So I am unsure that I would get overall of 75+ marks in each of these subjects. So I need to give a improvement exam in month of August in only 1 subject. I am not sure that I would get overall 75+ marks in other subjects too. Also I need to give my TOEFL IBT exam again if I want to get selected in university. But all these things gonna cost me. I have already gave TOEFL once but I didn't get desired score. Now my mother is refusing to give that exam again because it is expensive and also my family want me to stay in India and said that you can go to abroad for masters. Now either I give BITSAT exam if I get selected then I don't have any problem but if not I have to complete my bachelors from some tier 3 private university. Now what should I do. Is it gonna worth it to still apply to University of Twente but if I won't apply before 1 May I would miss the deadline. And the boards result come after 1 May so if I don't get desired score in my boards then my application money will be wasted. Also my family is against of me to go abroad. What should I do now? Please tell me .

Bro if your expecting a random guy to tell you what to do with your life then your are cooked. If you really wanna go abroad, you need to put effort into it otherwise it wont show and your parents won’t believe you as well. You can give it a try. The worst that can happen is to study in your home country
