I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I have a dream to become an IIT engineer. I have heard about IIT?ians and their bright careers. My parents desire their son to become a big person. I also want to become famous. Money is not important because anyone can earn money. There are a lot of ways to earn money that are not good. I would like to become a Dakshana scholar because of what the institution represents. The foundation wants to help students studying in the JNVs by financing their IIT-JEE coaching through FIITJEE. Another reason I want to become a Dakshana scholar is because my parents cannot afford IIT-JEE coaching because they have many other responsibilities besides me. I want to serve my country and its people as an IIT engineer.
