Hi there,
I'll tell you my story. Let me know if I'm an average or below average person
- Failed for the first time in a subject in my tenth standard
- Studied in TN state board. Got 85.2% in tenth
- In twelfth, got 84.66%. Again only state board.
- During my twelfth I had heard of AIEEE but not IIT JEE. I had no idea that IIT’s even exists. (Poor me). When I thought of appearing in AIEEE, one of my chemistry teacher said, ‘AIEEE is based on CBSE syllabus, we read state board syllabus, hence its not of much use’. So didn't apply for AIEEE
- Got admission in a college in Chennai due to someone's recommendation in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
- One of my friend had called me to a cultural in IIT-M. That's for the first time I had stepped into IIT and felt I missed studying in such a huge campus.
- First sem, 7 GPA with one backlog
- Second sem, 6 point something with one backlog. Could only clear the backlog in my 4th sem
- Third sem, 4 backlogs. Don't ask me about my gpa
- Fourth sem, 4 backlogs.
- Could sense my academic record is going in a downward projectile never to return back
- Fifth sem, cleared all backlogs and got qualified to appear in the placement drive
- Sixth sem, got placed in Infosys
- Friends appeared in GATE, GRE, GMAT etc. Never really had courage to appear in those exams because you know about my engineering knowledge
- Infosys. Generic training : Java - Third and last attempt, DBMS - Second attempt, HTML - First attempt
- Stream training : Java - First attempt
- UPSC : Failed in Mains twice (2016, 2017)
- In 2018, got AIR 23.
- Just believe in yourself. Do all the hardwork. Don't look back on your past academic records. It doesn't really matters. When someone took my interview they asked me, ‘how was your UPSC Preparation different from the IIT or GATE’. I replied to them, ‘Frankly, during my school or college days I never really had much idea about those competitive exams, forget preparing for that. UPSC is the first competitive exam that I had ever attended, and got succeeded with a good rank. I had pushed back IITians, IIM grads, US grads etc to come to this place. For this I had put a lot of hardwork and I'll keep on working hard in future’.
- I firmly believe that we decide our future. NISHKAM KARMA.
