— Kumar Ranjeet
Encountering an exciting rollercoaster from my first trip from Lucknow to arriving in Chennai and enrolling in IIT Madras, has been my adventure. I'm from a little Uttar Pradeshi hamlet. Since my parents are illiterate, their fervor for seeing that my three siblings and I have an education has always motivated me to strive for excellence.Being from Babupur in the district of Sitapur, I could hardly recall my parents leaving the village. My mother is a homemaker, while my father is a farmer. My older sister is married, and my younger sister and brother are enrolled in Class 3 and Class 12, respectively.
At IIT Madras, I'm presently pursuing a BTech in civil engineering. My interests lean heavily toward computer science. I was aware, nonetheless, that obtaining a BTech in computer science at IIT Madras would be unattainable given my JEE Advanced rating. I made a college pick instead of a course choice. IIT Madras was my first choice because of the alumni association and the institute's history. I likewise used the freeze option after the first seat assignment because I had no idea how JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counseling operated. As a result, I had to accept my given seat in the civil engineering branch.JEE readiness
I was greatly inspired to aim for JEE Main and Advanced by a close friend of mine. I was motivated by his belief in the prospects that IITs provide. My friend requested that I accompany him to Kota, Rajasthan.
