This was way back during my undergraduate days where if anyone of you have asked me 'do you know what IIT is?' or 'did you try to get into IIT?' I used to wonder what is IIT? and why the hell everybody wants to be there? Let me tell you my thoughts about IIT before I actually got to know what it was.
> Initially I thought It was some diploma course like 'ITI' courses!
> This IIT course is meant for CBSE and NCERT syllabus people and not for people like me who have state syllabus background and passed pre-university exams.
> Its just like any other colleges
many a times I didn’t even know what was its importance. One day it so happened one of my classmates during undergraduate told me, at any cost before i complete my 1st year in college here I wanna get into IIT. so i told him.. what is the big deal in getting there? is it so special?
that guy told me "Praveen, I guess you donno what is the importance to get a seat at IIT..! IIT's are
India's premiere institutes. anybody would want to get their engineering seat at IIT and get an B.Tech from there.
Now, I wonder sometimes, what kind of jackass I was..!! That I donno what IIT was..!!
If I had known what it was during my high school I would have slogged my ass to get in there. Hmm.. but its okie.. I was not destined to be an engineer..!! ;-)
