The difference

It's going to be one of the interesting and controversial observations that I'm going to pen down.
What makes the brand IIT different? No definite answer but yes quite a few probables. Attitude,belief,hardwork and zeal to excel are all ingredients of a successful life...IITians possessing them in rich quantities.IIT adds the element exposure. The desire...the competition seems to bring the best out of you. The expectations...the gruelling schedule..the intensity..arrogance to some extent contributes to the realization and confidence to just go for it and do it. And the environment keeps you on your toes and pressurizes to act quickly and efficiently.That much for the answer to the curious minds who wonder sitting outside but yes one question remains....Can you overtake this bunch of highly skilled well equipped cream of the country....
The answer is Yes..you surely can...why not is the question one should ask to get the answer...the very fact that an IITian gets so much attention can make him overconfident and complacent(intentionally the her's have not been included) and the system along with the so much expertise can actually turn out to be a diversion for the student, the competition and ineffective academic environment can act as a deterrent for few individuals who hate when terms are dictated by system or its governors ..which may curb their instincts and flights.Therein lies the advantage of non-IITians. Moreover at times they are much more focussed and inspired to prove themselves.
The conclusion then according to my perception and experience then is.... the deciding factor will be the self-belief, hardwork, focus and opportunities which are the conventional constituents of any success story whose rights cannot be patented by the prestigious IIT's.
