- The demanding academic workload often led to negative impacts in my physical lifestyle with sleep depravity and all kinds of stress induced stuff.

Applying to IITD was a mix of challenges and hurdles. Eligibility was first obvious hurdle as I had to meet the academic criteria by cracking the tough JEE advanced. Finding the application form and paying fees online was easy but the website was a bit overwhelming.

Improvements could be made in offering a more personalized support and streamlines documentation of the admission process. Overall, while rigorous the admission process reflects IITD commitment to excellence and fairness shaping future leaders
