Getting into IIT was a dream come true for me. Faith in oneself and persistence are almost the two ideals that take you through. There might be phases in your life, wherein you might feel dejected and want to give up. Very frankly, such phases did come up during my preparatory years. You might feel that crossing the hurdle is way too difficult, going by the rate of intake. But remember that every year 5000-odd students do qualify. Possibly the basic difference between a person who qualifies JEE and one who does not is the lack of persistence. Believe in yourself, and in your capabilities, and this can work up miracles.
The day the JEE results were supposed to be declared, I was, like the other 4 lakh students, extremely tensed. On the morning of the 25th of May, I went to a friend's house. He had an internet connection at his residence. The results were to be declared at 8:00 a.m. Unfortunately, the connection was slow, and till quarter to nine, I was kept guessing. The results were out 45 mins ago,and I was still unaware of my fate. Suddenly, the IIT Kanpur website responded, and asked me to type in my roll number. With numb, cold hands, I entered it. After what seemed like an eternity, the result was displayed, and Kudos! I was through. I was all smiles, and tears of happiness rolled down my cheeks. I clasped my friend, who was already busy canvassing my success. The world suddenly seemed void of all evils. I called up home, and my brother shouted out so loud on phone, that it nearly damaged my eardrums. On my way back home, I started reflecting upon the work that I had put in to achieve what I'd achieved today. The persuasion by my mother to study, and not to loaf around the entire day, my study room, which was more of a library, the sleepless nights I'd spent, the day before the JEE, the JEE day itself. All the pain that I'd endured seemed justifiable at this moment.

Congrats!! It surely feels great to get what you've always wanted to get.
ReplyDeleteI am not very strong at Physics. I am reasonably good at Chemistry and Maths. Can I expect to get through JEE?
I am not able to understand Thermodynamics clearly. Could you please suggest some good books for the same. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDelete@ Anant : Definitely. You need to have one of P,C,M as your strong subject. It need not be Physics. In general, Maths is the toughest of the three in JEE. So you really can't rely upon Maths as you can on Physics or Chem. Though you still have time for strengthening Phy. Best of luck!
ReplyDelete@ Vineet : U cd go in for Arihant TD or for Sears and Zemansky... the former prepares u fr JEE, the latter gives u a brilliant insight into the subject.
