It had always been a dream to study in the National Institutions which give us a vast scope to develop and empower ourselves as whole, the reasons being different starting from the academic standards, methods of teaching to the diversified student community that walks in every year into these institutions.And the pride that one can have, to quote him as a graduate from an IIT ,NIT or IIITs is another reason. I did my best in 12th standard, appeared for JEE Mains and was able to secure a seat in IIIT, Jabalpur.
Oh,Yeah! I made it. But, not more than a week, I was able to live over there. All of a sudden, when I had to be away from home, it took me time to get adapted to the people, situations, food, seniors and lot more other issues over there. And the worst part was, not being aware of the fact that it takes much time, probably more than a week to get adapted or was I an afraid student to face it all new and all of a sudden, I withdrew my seat and returned home. In a week, I got admission into a local engineering college. I couldn’t say that it was so bad, but it was not something that I always dreamed of nor it was of the standard that could let me grow better as a person and learn better as an engineer. The four years of life during my under graduation, had been full of dissatisfaction and vexed with the exams that actually tested my memory power and nothing else. In my third year of engineering, I regretted my decision of returning from IIIT Jabalpur a lot more than ever before and decided to choose a path that would give me a so called – second chance, and I started preparing for the CAT exam. Yeah, I made it this time too. After appearing for several interviews at IIMs, of course with the elegant look gifted by a suit from Louis Philippe, I converted IIM Visakhapatnam’s call. And not again that I am going back home, because the life at IIM Visakhapatnam has already made me fall in love with it.
