And then it doesn’t end once the result is displayed the next rat race begins. The ambitious people start well in advance for the upcoming courses after graduating.

We always come across several case studies like our Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam who specialised in aeronautical engineering from Madras Institute of Technology but was desperate to pursue a career in flying. He always wanted to become pilot, but ultimately he could not succeed in flying but then look at what life had in store for him, He was disappointed but he never gave up and one day he became our “Missile Man”. He also became our President and contributed immensely towards the development of our country.

Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam says
“It is only when we are faced with failure do, we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives”

Failure is always difficult to accept but it always is an opportunity to choose a path for you. You can think of making your passion a career. There was a time when we had handful of career and job options but today, we are flooded with opportunities.
