Mystory@Shakeel Ahmed Pedhar: How I chose my course
February 2013 was a turning point in my life as I passed Class 12 exam with 73% marks. At that time I was 17 years old and I decided to take admission in Government Degree College, Banihal. After admission I worked hard and by God’s grace was able to clear BA first year exam with second division.
In August 2014 when I was in BA second year, I became the class representative and in the year 2015, I was given the award for the most popular student. I completed my graduation in July 2016 and then applied for a police job but unfortunately I couldn’t clear the exam. I got very depressed and then applied for MA English at IGNOU in December 2016 and in March 2017 I got selected for the course.
