My Failure Story

Apun ka story

Work hard and crack IIT JEE.
From my Failure of cracking IIT I realized one thing, U don't work hard if U love doing something. If you feel like U are working hard then it is surely cause you are doing something you don't want to do. If you really love doing something, you won't care about how much time you are spending on it or sacrificing something for it. That's how all this started 'work hard for 2 years and your life will be set'. Welcome to my story...

It all started the morning after the sleep over with my friends. I was forced to wake up early to go the coaching classes which will help me crack the ramaiah entrance test. Ramaiah is a famous coaching center for IIT in Hyderabad. I had to sleep early and destroy my sleep over experience. This sleep over was like my farewell party(since we did not have one). All my friends were there that night, the environment was Lit, yet i had to sacrifice my night partially for the coaching classes the next day.

My gang of friends in 10th were super chilled and we had fun most of the time yet scored well in exams. I studied in a Big school with very modern thinking students and teachers. All the teachers knew about all the relationships in the school but only used mock them. Our gang were the only people in the entire 10th class to prepare for IIT. Even the toppers of 10th class did not join the race for IIT. I did not know anything about IIT, people told me that it requires hard work and sacrifice to crack the test. I felt it would be like 10th where we studied and had fun. Little did i know what was to come.

So I woke up early, got dressed and headed for the centre. I did not know anything about ramaiah, my dad told me it was a very good institute and passing the entrance test of this institute was like getting into IIT. He told me that it was not possible for me to get through this entrance test and told me to focus on other institute entrance tests.

The first day, after a load of classes came the lunch break, every now and then in the between the classes I wanted to talk to somebody like i did in my school. The people beside me were like complete nerds and only wanted to listen to classes. I am that kind of person who can't survive without friends around me. Finally, i got my chance to make some friends at the lunch break.  Slowly, in the following days i made a gang of friends some of them came from a village with expectations of cracking the entrance test. I understood the situation in the coaching center that there was so much competition for this entrance test. Many students had integrated IIT classes in 10th. All my 10th friends joined in IIT coaching center through money.

I had no expectations, i just studied and did my job. I knew there were many other good institutes to prepare for IIT. My dad was like if u crack this test u will get into iit for sure. So i just gave my best. The friendships i made in this 1 month course felt good, this was the kind of friends I wanted in the coaching institute for 2 years. 

Then i wrote the test for ramaiah. There were many centers where the examination was held and many people wrote the test.

So, i wrote the test and as I walked out of the hall,i could hear people taking about how hard the test was but i thought it was easy. I enjoyed my summer vacation and waited for results. Every other entrance test i wrote i scored low. I had less hope about the results. Me and my dad visited many colleges for admission. I almost got admitted in a sri Chaitanya college which was literally a jail. They had tests every day and used to batter people who scored low. The problem with Indian education system lied in institutes like these, they pressurise students to crack IIT by scarifying everything even good food. They keep telling you it is IIT or nothing, I you get into IIT you will have the best life or your life is ruined. Many people commit suicide cause of institutes like these.

Then, one fine day the results came out on my sister's birthday and I passed. Everyone in my family were really happy, their faces filled with excitement. It was like a paradise.  My parents called everyone and told them about it, they were really happy. With this energy i felt i would crack IIT. Who knew that it would be the last time in the few years to come where they would be happy with my results.
