Mystory@Suraj Jaiswal: How I selected my college and course
I was in class 11th when I began with the preparation for JEE Main. According to my analysis, 2 years are more than enough to do a thorough preparation of all the subjects. I used to devote 2 to 3 hours to self-study and rest was dependent on the coaching centre. I have been a part of Eureka Classes for 2 years and the teachers have helped me to their best in order to achieve my goal in life.
My College Admission
We used to take mock tests and sample papers every day at Eureka. This was to give the students an idea about the exam pattern and teach them how to manage time while writing the exam. I managed to clear JEE Main 2016 with a score of 212/360. Now, my goal was to clear JEE Advanced. I decided to utilize the time between both exams work on my week areas. Solved a lot of PYP’s and took mock tests but this time, luck did not work for me. Although, I passed the exam but a rank of 4951 was not enough to qualify and seek admission in any of the IITs. But I did not leave hope and started preparing for MHCET 2017
I managed to bag a score of 167 /200 with an AIR rank 1258 in Maharashtra. I wanted to pursue BTech in mechanical engineering from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, Mumbai. But this time, the provision of reserved seats took my opportunity. Not Mechanical but I managed to get Electronics and Telecommunication. Currently pursuing first year Btech in the same. I am looking forward to score well and take a branch shift.
I can do nothing but only request people that they should not misuse their caste certificate and use it for their betterment instead. Also, our Government should take strict action against people who get fake caste certificates in order to seek admission.
