Poem: Don't Choose Easy! -It’s easy to talk behind someone’s back, But tough to hold the attention of an audience. It’s easy to pull down someone, But very arduous to scale a precarious peak.
It’s easy to talk behind someone’s back,
But tough to hold the attention of an audience.
It’s easy to pull down someone,
But very arduous to scale a precarious peak.
It’s easy to let your tongue run loose,
But very gruelling to run a marathon.
It’s easy to remain in the confines of prejudice,
But very harrowing to spread the ideas of tolerance.
Remember though…
Only those get awarded, who march ahead with determination,
No one is rewarded for slandering or causing humiliation!
The age-old adages are always correct,
As the dog barks, the elephant keeps walking erect!
So let the tongues wag, let the naysayers try to detract,
Keep doing what you do, till you make an impact!

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
