: Many students find that having a romantic partner helps them cope with the immense stress of coaching. These relationships act as a "journey to competitive exams" made easier by having someone to walk through it with.

However, before we navigate the romantic lives of the students, the series presents a more enigmatic figure. The pillar of support for everyone, Jeetu Bhaiya (Jitendra Kumar), remains a mystery in his own romantic life, a void that fans are eager to fill. This has sparked intriguing theories: is he asexual and aromantic, dedicating all his passion to teaching? Or might a potential romantic arc for him, as suggested by the actor himself, be explored in a future season to show a more vulnerable, personal side to the beloved mentor. As we unravel the students' stories, this unfulfilled potential looms large, a missing piece in the show's romantic puzzle.

One of the central romantic storylines revolves around Kota and his relationships with the people around him. His interactions with others are often laced with tension, humor, and heartbreak, making for compelling viewing.

As Uday's girlfriend, Shivangi is not just a love interest but a crucial voice of reason, often cutting through the group's anxieties with her pragmatic advice.
