A Journey of Choices, Challenges, Change, and Contemplation: My College Journey at HIT

2 mins readUpdated on Jun 25, 2025 17:29 IST
Recognising the need for a change, I decided to reappear for the WBJEE exam the following year. Fortunately, I achieved a good rank this time. During the WBJEE counselling process, my first preference was the Kalyani Government Engineering College (KGEC). But, I could not get it in the first round. Since, I was not able to get an EWS certificate.

From Self-Doubt to Determination

I was an average-performing student till class 10. I scored 89% marks in boards, but because it was covid year. That pushed me into self doubt when it came to choosing my career. I opted for the Humanities stream because science I felt wasn;t my cup of tea. But after a few months, I realised that I made a wrong decision and these subjects just weren't for me.

But then, I shifted again to science stream inspite of harsh criticism. I felt it wound't go right, but then literally started enjoying all the subjects.

My Challenge: BSc Mathematics

I majorly focused on NCERT concepts and didn't bother to prepare for any competitive exams like JEE MAINS. I cleared class 12 with 80% marks in boards and joined BSc Mathematics due to a low rank in entrance exams. And this decision too proved to be a wrong one. With no other option left, I focused on entrance exams. Cleared WBJEE and enrolled into Haldia Institute West Bengal.

Beyond Homesickness: Embracing Hostel Life and Coding at Haldia Institute of Technology

I faced some challenges during the initial days at college. It was my first experience of living away from my family. On the first day, we dedicated 2-3 hours solely to introducing ourselves to one another. Eventually, everyone became acquainted.

Our college journey started with a two-day orientation program and a campus visit program with our mentor. This college really had a very beautiful campus with greenery everywhere.

Life in a hostel was something worth remembering, where we learned to know ourselves. Everyone around us was sweet and welcoming. Their guidance made us interested in coding too.

A Semester of Growth at Haldia Institute of Technology

This college really has very good club activities which allowed us to explore our interests and interact with the seniors. First semester was full of new experiences. We got familiar with practical assessments and I achieved a 9.3 SGPA in that semester, which boosted my moral. Then we aimed for cricket tournaments of the next semester.

My College Experience So Far

College Really had a major role in shaping my personality. I worked on myself, got a chance to meet new people and gained new experiences which will be cherished for lifetime. I never thought I would enjoy my college life this much. teachers were really supportive too. Everyone supported me really much. Now my only goal is to secure a good package in a reputed IT Firm.

Official ETS practice tests work best. Free ones on the TOEFL website match the real exam closely. Test takers recommend TOEFL Question Bank and some paid apps for speaking feedback. Combine them with YouTube tips. Avoid random books. Consistent practice beats everything else.
