Introduction to the College Selection Process
For many students, choosing the right college is a significant and often overwhelming decision. This year, several students have shared their choices and reflections on why they made them. Let's explore the journeys of three young individuals as they reflect on their college selections.Decision Making and Aspirations
For many students, the decision of which college to join is not just about grades but also about personal aspirations and academic interests. One student, who was aiming to join IIT through the JEE, shares his journey:"This decision has been a very hard one and I hope its the right one. I decided to not join IIT since I wasn’t getting an interesting branch in the top IITs and I didn’t want to risk joining a newer IIT. I also scored 310 in BITSAT and I am joining BITS Goa CSE. Of course, it does hurt a little that I won’t become an Iitian, the dream that I worked hard for two years. However, I think it was never meant to be. Hopefully, I don’t end up regretting this decision. I was getting textile and IITD and BS Chem at IITB but they didn’t look worth it to me being the last branch in both. I found it to be pointless to join just for the sake of the tag."
He emphasizes the importance of choosing a field that aligns with his interests and aspirations, making a tough choice for the sake of a dream that wasn’t as significantly beneficial as he initially thought.Choosing Based on Passion and Future Prospects
Another student expresses a different perspective, choosing a dual-degree program at IIIT-Hyderabad based on academic and research prospects:"After 2 long years of JEE prep, out of which 1.5 years were online, after all that hard work paid off. So the college I am joining this year

.IIIT - HYDERABAD
I have joined dual-degree in CND. I applied through KVPY. The sole reason is the coding culture and research prospects in this college are very good and I love computer science and want to pursue research. That was some ride and a half. Peace out."
Total Commitment and Excitement
A final student shares his decision after a complex process, culminating in an allocation to NSUT with an IT branch:"After many hustle and bustle during the counselling process and lots of confusion between DTU and NSUT, finally I am alloted in NSUT with IT branch. And now classes are soon going to be started. So I am very much excited. My four year journey is going to start. Remark: If any one also joining NSUT then come to comment section we can talk."
His journey showcases the excitement and nervousness that comes with starting a new phase in one’s life. NSUT, while not as renowned as some of the other top colleges, offers an environment that excites him due to the potential for a successful academic career.
