Message/IIT Kharagpur/MechanicalEngg./1stYear

Hi,my dear friends...

Don't be afraid of counselling. it is easy enough to do it. don't take it more seriously and don't take it lightly too.don't be too much worried about this and do follow the instructions as given in your information brochure.

so if you really fill depressed as i did during my counseling than read my message and learn something from it.don't repeat my mistake again and again because it may cost your valuable future. so i am now mentioning some difficulties i faced and the way not to repeat it once again.....

1.   if you get some rank in jee than  at first during counseling they will ask you to make a user account through which you can fill your choices. so don't be afraid as it could  be a problem of internet connection in your locality.and don't wait for your  friends to fill first after which you can follow them...i did the same mistake..so i did it in a hurry.there could be a chance of getting wrong in it but i was lucky...so as you get your rank visit your near by internet cafe and get some information by your own.along with that you can consult your friends and seniors if you are facing some problem.
2. after it is done they will be asking for registration for giving/filling choices for yourself for your desired branch and iit. you have to pay Rs1000 for it.the fee payment will be through dd(demand draft) or by your atm card or some internet banking facility(it will be mentioned there).in case of dd you can consult your near by bank to make a dd.or you can pay through atm card(visa or master card).if you get some problem you contact me or any of my friends.i also got so many problem with dd as there was no facility for payment by atm card..but at last i did it with help of one of my relative through atm card.
3. after your registration is over, there will be your choice filling.i was so much worried about all this.i tried to contact my seniors but i didn't had any one of there contact numbers. so couldn't choose my appropriate branch according to my rank(my rank was 15 in st) and got mechanical engineering in iit kharagpur. although it is not a bad branch but i could have gone to iit mumbai or iit kanpur taking electronics and communication(ec) department which is a better one than this as i didn't wanted computer science(cs-which is the most good branch).so you should choose the most appropriate branch for you and if you have any problem,you can always contact any of us.
4. the 2nd mistake i did was i only opted for three iit giving mechanical branch as my choice.i was lucky and had good rank...so i escaped from getting screwed. you should always give atleast 15 choices if you have a very good rank,30 if a better rank and more than 40 if you have very low rank...you should not leave a sign so that you will be canceled out.my two friends didn't get into iit because of these reasons.
5. so how will you fill your branch and iit choice??it's a real question......    

6. 1. first you have to choose your appropriate branch and iits by consulting with friends,seniors and us.
   2. than you have to sort list them from increasing to decreasing 
   3. after sorting, make sure everything is perfect
   4. than upload it and make it final

   so good luck future iitans....do your best during your counselling and don't loose the opportunity from being in IIT.
