By this time everyone is giving a final touch up to his/her JEE preparation. This is the time when spirits will be running high as to whether he/she can clear IIT or not ...what will happen if he/she is not able to make it....where will he join..etc etc etc..
Lemme remind u as the topic of this article says..If u are not able to get into IIT then IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! 
Now the REASONS:
1.Why do you want to get into IIT??
Some want to lead a better life...someone wants to prove someone that he is a bright student...someone wants to fulfill his/her parents dreams..blah blah......I agree majority of you want to join IIT to lead a better life later on.....
BUT remember IIT will just give u a job.. What will take u ahead is not ur knowledge u gained from IIT alone....ur personal characteristics like determination.....attitude towards ur JOB etc etc....
eg. My cousin just did an MBA in one of colleges i Bhubaneshwar, Orissa.....But now he is the head of Nokia,Singapore. There are many such instances which can give proof to my statement.....
2.What next if not IIT ???
--> U have BITS ,IIITH , NITs...
--> U can always take a drop ....But thats ur wish...
--> If u want u can give GATE to enter back.
--> U can join a more premier institute of India...The IIMs. later on in life.....which can give u a better job than IIT...( most of the cases)......
--> Give a GRE or GMAT.....and katlo to America....
see friends there are a lot of other alternatives to IIT..u see..!!!!!
3.Not all IITians are succesfull!!!!
Many ppl feel that if they enter into IIT then their future is secure ....
Very wrong........I know my professor in my coaching class who is an IITian but he hardly draws a salary of 4 lacs p.a...(information confirmed by my father's frnd).............
So keep the above in mind....
My intention here is not to demotivate you!!!
NOTE:
The article which i have written is an honest and a sincere effort on my part is to lift the spirits of the aspirants....My AIM was not to hurt the image of IIT in front of you all......
All the best!!!!
