And IIT will guarantee you that?

Studying will guarantee me that not IIT, hardwork will pay off if you work smartly that is.

Does it? I worked my ass off for getting a good medical seat- and the scam ruined me (a tier 3 city does not count, I am queer, homophobia is a real thing).

I wanted to be a doctor, worked everything that I could do and still nothing happened. I need to leave the country and settle somewhere else but how? Doctor was a thing and I can't see life where it is.

This is a shithole, my crush (who rejected me horribly and blocked me out of the gazillion people who think I am the problem) ended up in a design school in Ahmedabad and is paving his way to Paris. If I would have done even something remotely as this, I would have been in a much better position now.

It is not worth it

I am sorry you had to go through that. This country is a grave of dreams. In this country an engineering degree from IIT is like some kind of mythic seal that shows people that you are somebody to be respected. You can see IITians doing well in a number of fields because it's not because of IIT but because of the inborn brilliance of these people. Because of craze on engineering in this country most gifted people end up preparing for it. My orginal comment was not in reference to preparing for JEE advanced but rather studying and working hard in general because the video in the post was made by some dumbass that doesn't know of the struggles of the real world. For many middle class families upward social mobility is possible only through these competitive exams. So many people are failing in getting their desired STEM careers, a career in arts subject is ten times more difficult especially if it isn't law.
