I came to know about the chain of institutes for IIT coaching all over India when I was in 8th class. From that time onwards I started dreaming about becoming an IIT?ian. I came to know that the syllabus for the IIT is very much different from the CBSE syllabus. The fees for these coaching classes are very high. I came to know about Dakshana foundation and its goal of providing free education for IIT. I wrote the entrance exam and was ed to receive IIT coaching.
I come from a poor and uneducated family. I want to raise my family to such a level that the coming generation will not also suffer. I know that being an IIT?ian can help me succeed in life. I am hopeful that as a Dakshana scholar I can attend IIT. The foundation is giving me and my friends a chance to build our future.
