Our recommendations!!
College
- Choose ANY IIT over ANY NIT- Getting Comp. Sc. in best NIT and 5 years course in any IIT, opt for IIT - Only IIT graduates are known as IITians, rest all masses.- IIT is an extra-ordinary brand. Just name is enough.
S 28

Our recommendations!! Contd…
Location
- North Indians should go to South India and vice-versa- Opt for rich states if pitted against poor state, e.g. between Orissa and
Maharashtra choose Maharashtra- Diversity is a life long learning.

Services exams
