I'd like to become a Dakshana scholar and hopefully attend IIT because I belong to a poor family. My family is unable to pay for higher study because it is

very expensive. My family wants me to become an engineer but they cannot support the coaching fees that are required. I want to become the first engineer

in my family. My father is not with us and my mother is a labourer. These days, one requires coaching to prepare for engineering exams. Moreover, we

require regular guideline which is essential for one?s career. By becoming a Dakshana scholar I can receive a good education. I want to inspire students

from villages and teach them that they should get an education. I came to know that Dakshana was a good coaching institute through teachers and friends.

Our teachers are from Career Point and I will be able prepare for the IIT-JEE through their coaching classes. I hope that I will be ed for IIT with a high

rank. I will always remember Dakshana foundation?s help in getting into IIT.

From JNV Patiala (Punjab). IIT-JEE 2009.
