wHaT iS iT WiD iiTiAnS?

What to do, if you have attained the highest laurel an engineering student can achieved? You got through the IIT entrance, more commonly known as IIT-JEE and slogged for 4 yrs to get an engineering degree from IIT- and most importantly lived to tell the tale. You are envied by all your peers and you are always mentioned at all family get togethers, so that your relatives get to flaunt you at any given possible moments. Even though their contribution in the achievement is insignificant.


Well the road ahead is not difficult at all- from what's been happening all around. An IITian does one of the three things.


  1. Gets into IIM and become an IIT as well as a IIM alumni- Goshh!! your parents are on top of the world and your relatives will invite you and your parents to all family functions.
  2. Open up a coaching center under your name, establish it and voilaa...you're playing in crores. You are given the noble task of preparing future IITians. All coaching center faculty is a IIT alumni- there is hardly any doubt about that.
  3. Well, the third one is a very recent one. Turn NOVELIST.


Have you not wondered that all IIT Alumni turn out writers? Even if it's a one book magic. Most stories are tragic love stories with or without happy endings. And most tend to revolve around their life at or around IIT. Books ranging from Five Point Someone to Anything For You Ma'am written by Chetan Bhagat and Tushar Raheja are great examples .

Well.. so it seems-IITians will never be out of job, not just purely on knowledge but they seem to have a very interesting time in their college life which can be turned into bestsellers. Whether its coping with academic stress or it's the ever complicated love life- it surely pays to be a IIT-Alumni :)
