Biggest regret of not getting in IIT
When I was in 12th and gave my exams for JEE Mains I got - Physics : 1 Chemistry : 2 Maths : -3 Basically:0 but it was intentional. I got 99% on my 12th and 10th board. Qualified for NERIST Entrance Exam. Got everything but wanted to prove a point, “One piece of paper won’t decide my future.” Guess I was wrong. Now no investors wants to invest in my ideas because they look for pedigree. My friends got into IIT Bombay, Delhi and Kharagpur. But unfortunately for them they couldn’t get a job???? My friend who got into IITK got the highest marks in our state batch of 2018. Now his doing coaching. My IITB friend didn’t get an interview nor placement. Lastly my IITD friend is back at studying for MTech. Don’t understand what is happening. I can build but investors don’t invest. They can work but got no job.
