“Not Old IIT, But Still IIT”
Situation
Aditya prepared for JEE in Delhi. Mock scores promised big things. Result came — good rank, not great. Old IIT CSE was gone. He got a newer IIT, newer branch. Family said IIT is IIT. Friends went silent. Aditya felt he had slipped at the last moment.
Thought Bubble
Everyone says I should be grateful. But I feel like I reached the gate and still missed the room.
Having Said That…
Once college started, labs, clubs, competitions felt familiar. Recruiters didn’t ask his rank. Seniors helped. He worked hard. Internships came. Years later, the word “newer” stopped mattering. The platform was strong enough.
