I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because my ambition since 9th grade has been to pass the IIT exam. The IIT?s are the third highest ranked engineering school in the world and it is very difficult to become an IIT?ian. I have confidence in myself and in my abilities to reach my goal. There is a saying: ?nothing is impossible, everything is possible? and due to this I have made up my mind to clear the IIT exam successfully. I believe that certificates are not as important as in attaining deep knowledge of a subject. IIT requires qualitative and quantitative knowledge. I realize this and will try to reach the highest level so I can reach my ambitions and serve our beloved country, India. Since I am from a poor family, your institute will give me an opportunity. That is why I would like to be a Dakshana scholar and attend IIT.
