Finally, it was time for the result. We were about to be told what the outcome of our year of hard work was. But before getting onto that, let me tell you a funny incident or story, whatever you want to say, happened with us.
In our time, the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur conducted the exam. So after about 15 days of giving the exam, we received a mail from IIT Kharagpur to get our response sheet from their website. So I downloaded it from their website. But what was weird about the response sheet was that it had answers also written in it; after every question, it had the correct answer and our response. It was weird because IIT Kharagpur was not supposed to reveal any response sheet of this kind. I contacted my friend and asked them about it. I, Pratik, Rupam, Kumuda, and others started checking our total and were so frightened by the result. We were getting around 20 marks, and for getting admission into a good IIT, we were supposed to cross at least 55. I immediately went into shock, and my roommates started asking me about what happened. I told them the whole thing. I just realized that I would not get admission to any IIT, and my entire year of hard work is ruined.
Though my tone here seems to be a little serious, it was a funny incident. Some of my friends called me, and what I realized after talking to most of them is that most students, good or average or below average, are getting marks around 20. Now I got a weird feeling, I called Ankush, and he told me that he hadn't seen the result and neither is he going to. He said that most of the answers mentioned in the response sheet are not correct and that he and some others cross-checked this. After calling him, I also cross-checked the sheet, and he was right; most of the answers were incorrect. I called Pratik, Kumuda, Akshita, Rupam, and others, and they confirmed the same. Then I took a sigh of relief. The next day they deleted the response sheet from the portal, and a day after that, new response sheets were uploaded, which didn't contain any answers.
Before the result, some coaching institute releases their answer keys, and some of the top coaching institutes answer key is always 100 percent correct. My coaching instructor called me and asked me for my response sheet to calculate my marks. I didn't want to get my marks from somebody else, so I counted them and sent the response sheet to my teacher. I was pleased after calculating my marks because I got 58.7 out of 100, which was an excellent total to gain admission to a top IIT. My teacher also confirmed the exact count and told me that I would get a Top IIT college. I told my parents and my friends about it. Pratik, Kumuda, Ankush, Rupam, and others got a little lower score, so they were worried.
The final result was out on 20 March, and I got All India Rank 101, which was a little high than my expectation. I was expecting around 70 -75, but what mattered, in the end, is that I will be going to an IIT. After the merit list was released, I choose IIT Delhi as I was doing my graduation from Delhi as well, and I was well known about the place.
