Target IIT…Target DCE…Destination DU

In a class where everybody was studying for the JEE rather than for the CBSE Board exams, it turns out(which is expected) few have made it. When we entered Class XI, everyone used to talk about how AIEEE sucks and that you get sent to NITs in some odd corner of the country. At this stage, many people are willing to do anything to get there.

My aim was never IIT, it never will be(Hmm…MTech?). I was expecting a very good percentage in my boards and there were many others who weren’t…I just hate anti-climaxes. My last option now, Delhi Univ. My dad went to Hansraj, mom to LSR and I….? Let’s just wait and watch. Since the Delhi Univ certificate doesn’t mention which college you go to and since you’ve got to study yourself anyway I’ll be happy to go anywhere I get the course of my choice(But I prefer to limit myself to the North Campus since I love those metro rides).

That pretty much explains everything.

Two of my buddies(Suraj & Nipun) in class cleared JEE, and have most probably got what they want in DCE. Amlan who didn’t make it will be giving his SATs and because of his terrific English he’s bound to get good scores and with those excellent essays quite a lot of scholarship too…

  • College admissions are one of the worst periods of one’s life (if you don’t get into one of the big ones like IIT that is). I remember my time - didn’t get through IIT and DCE myself…was horrible. Hope you get admission somewhere quick!

  • I hope so too.

  • Wish you luck!

  • Congrats Nipun, MIT plans over? Raghav, he deserved it. But like I told you Raghav is one of those people who has got through just by studying for CBSE. It may not happen always but it isn’t impossible.

    Thanks Ankur.

  • thanks . well i am a bit confused on my streams - since cse in nsit may be a little difficult ., in dce it is a surety . but accd to nsit lounge- students forum it engineering in nsit is better than cse in dce .. then again i may be able to get thru mechanical and better in bits which is more reputed than dce/nsit . confusion prevails . any suggestions ..?

  • You can contact Ankit Sud who is in NSIT doing CSE. You can find his email address here.

  • I always thought you wanted to stay in Delhi. You will know more about all this than me any day.
