Why Do I Want IIT Bad Enough?
Why so much hardwork and so much preparation, all for one exam?
Have you ever asked these questions to yourself?
A radical thought but worth considering :Why IIT?
The Indian Institute of Technology(IIT's) have been considered as Jawahar Lal Nehru's greatest gift to INDIA by a selected few,but have we ever stopped to wonder Why? Fortunately and the merit goes strictly to the achievments of IITian's I do have a convincing answer for all you seekers out there.
1.Check with global corporate giants,atleast one among their top 10 people would be an IITian.
2.Check with any INDIAN bigwig company,again one among its top four executive would be an IITian.
3.A researcher at UC Berkerly has estimated that fully 20% of startups in the Sillicon Valley are IITian owned.
3.Bill Gates founder of Microsoft says the computer industry has been benefited greatly from IITians and he is keen to have as much as he can in his company.
4.Narayan Murthy,founder of Infosys was quoted in an interview confessing that his son had to go to an Ivy League school Cornell because he could not get into IIT.
Okay if you are still not convinced ,here are few more facts to chew on......Prove me wrong if
1.IITians aree not lapped by all top Fortune 500 companies.
2.IITians are not preffered by universities abroad for further education.
3.IITians are not preffered by the likes of top management schools such as the IIMs, Harvard,Wharton,Kellogg,Stanford,ISB etc.
4.IITians are not prefered over graduates for selection into IAS and other civil examination (Infact atleast 3 IITians are surely under top 10 rank in IAS exams).
5.With a choice of over 30-odd electives, the curriculam that the IITs offers,doesn't make these graduates savvy businessman and enterprenuers in everything that they attempt.
Is IIT for me?
Yes my friends,even an average student can aspire to be part of the IIT if only he decides to commit himself to this goal and approaches the iit examination in a strategic and careful manner.
Remember the only meaning that life has is the meaning we ascribe to it.This means ,that if we are limited by in any sense,we are limited by our own thought.If you ever allow yourself into believing that you can never make it to the IIT,I would agree whole heartedly with you.You definately cannot make it through IIT-JEE.And you should take this dream out of your mind and engage yourself with something less taxing like preparing for only Board exams and state level engineering exams.
But if you have a little spark glowing in some corner of your heart that says 'I can do it' rather 'I will do it',I assure you my friends that you definately will and nothing can stop you from achieving your dream of reaching IITs.Infact there is nothing that can come between you and IIT once you chose to enter its hallowed portals.It is nothing but our self belief system that manifest itself into reality.Remember that all belief that we hold today are rooted in the past.Those beliefs are not absolute realities.Just because you were not successful in the past doesnot means that you cannot be succeful in the future too.
Success at school exams depends on attending regular classes,taking notes,guessing the examination pattern from previous years papers,being the teacher's favourite,on students mugging power etc.But the IIT JEE exam 2009 is a totally different exam whcih requires nothing short of strategic planning,hard work,loads of practice and the most important factor motivation.Intelligence is just one small attribute that can get you through IIT-JEE.I am not saying that it is not one of the top five factors,but not every IITian you meet will claim that he did excellently in school.Many people are not successful in school because they think that good grades bring nothing but a little fame and shine in class,so why bother.But believe me my friends IIT promises not a little but a lot of fame and moolah.
So my friends shed all your inhibitions,all your negative emotions and fear of disappointments,while emberking on this exciting, rigorous and rewarding journey of getting into IIT.And dont worry if you were not serious till the date.Because you still have 100% chance of getting very good ranks if you prioritise dream IIT more than any other things till you achieve it and start working in a planned and regular manner.
best of luck to all of you!!
