I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I want to become an engineer. My family?s background is not so good. My father is not able to give me money for extra coaching for IIT-JEE. However, Dakshana is giving me an opportunity. That is why I want to join Dakshana. My father hopes that I become an engineer. I know that my father will do the best for me and I want to reduce his burden. If I become a Dakshana scholar than I will definitely clear the IIT-JEE. I am very thankful for this opportunity.

Coaching Location: JNV Cuttack, Odisha. (IIT-JEE 2007-09).
