“Leaving Home Felt Bigger Than the Rank”
Situation
Bikash grew up in a small town in Assam. Good student, cleared a national engineering exam with a decent rank. Missed top NITs by a margin. Got a reputed institute in Odisha. Family worried more about distance than ranking. Friends said don’t worry, at least it’s mainland.
Thought Bubble
Everyone talks about colleges. Nobody talks about what it feels like to leave everything familiar.
Having Said That…
The college turned out solid. Teachers cared. Placements were real. The culture gap was harder than academics. Over time, Bikash adjusted. His career didn’t suffer because of rank. It grew because he stayed.
