You may find inspiration in the story of a student who completed his MTech from IIT Bombay and landed a job in one of the biggest companies, NVIDIA. During his graduation, he was often found at the back of the class and only attended for the sake of attendance. No one considered him as a competition when it came to technical discussions and programming.

After completing his graduation, he chose to appear for GATE as he did not receive any job offers from his college. He devoted a year to prepare for GATE and achieved an astounding feat. He secured AIR 172 in GATE 2017, earning himself direct admission into IIT Bombay without any quota or reservation.

During the placement season, he invested all his focus and determination to secure a job, and his hard work paid off when he received an offer from NVIDIA.

This student's story is a testament to the fact that success is not just about innate talent or abilities. It's about hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Even if you do not start at the top, with enough determination and effort, you can reach new heights.

If you are in a similar position as the student in this story, do not lose hope. Keep working hard and improving yourself, and success will surely come your way. Do not let others' perceptions of you or your past define your future. It's never too late to start working towards your goals and achieve them with hard work and dedication.
