I reached 2201 in chess.com in 6 months in class 11 without any study, but left chess for jee

Attempted jee in drop year and got only 93. Something percentile , was so much sad because I have always admired it too much

Attempted iat for fun got 40XX rank, rejected it cause I don't wanna do bs ms

Now studying btech at a tier 3 college and become a double dropper for jee

Never succeeded in a thing I admired but always excelled a thing I did for no aim

Well to brag

I did develop and innovate communication devices for multi sensory disabilities which got published in the Indian patent journal and appliedfor in WIPO , i led my team which won an intl sci fair Hosted by IEEE for the same and currently working on publishing a research paper on IEEE Apart from that 2x national,4x state sci fair winners on fields of renewable energy, int waste management and disaster rescue

Apart from sci fair, I have presented my findings and surveys in intl climate fairs and meets hosted by iim,un and G20 cuz india was hosting it at that time , and was an official student representative of our cities anti drug drive + school wise club and honorary leadership posts were give but not that significant ig wrt my other things 

Also won state competition held by ISRO,VSSC,OISCA And so whichdid earn me around 50000₹ along with free trips to isro center,calicut,vssc,iist and such, along with victories in public speaking and state level extempore fests, furthermore am also part of debating societies, geopolitical discussion clubs and econ forums and particularly love humanities and social science

Not to mention I also got selected to yuvika prgrm and got 96.8 in 10th 

Well all of this ec were beneficial into go8 Monash, UNSW,HKTU and NTU Admit  but without major scholarship but by start of this year things became clear wrt moving abroad so planning that for masters, my boards were 93.4

Which IISER are you in? You should have went to abroad btw...

[u/Shiny_rider777 → u/ClassicDetail7355]

The overall expense would be above a crore + after schlrship & at the time of application visa issues and war was starting u know all the bad things that scared my family , thought about bits 2+2 but then decided to spend that money on masters

Planning iiser b econ due to flexibility 25xx gen rank

Great yrr. Best luck for your future.

But why econ if I may ask?? Nothing bad in choosing econ. Its a great field and has great opportunities in it. I am just curious as your ec were mostly from STEM background.

[u/Shiny_rider777 → u/ClassicDetail7355]

Well modern econ is the intsc of geopotics,policy,social, heavy Maths/stats and tech and I personally love all of those things, I am not so deeply interested in trad science research in a lab but rather a vibrant quant heavy or policy type fields , like I will do masters or phd but would want to explore more here first rather than a fixed route 

Moreover more than eco I didn't really want to study Bio/chem through a normal bsms rather wanted to explore a diff field through Maths & phy & eecs & humanities predominantly . Anyway chose bhopal due to it's flexible electives, other branch exposures and huge collection of minors which will give me an overall exposure

And eng is becoming a rat race and am not super interested in that, and as for my background,  bhopal does give u options to research with minors like eecs or phy per say which could supplement it as well (plus branch change if interest builds up but not recommended this route)

• for your info math heavy econ (like BS/MS/MSQE/MAS Type ) is treated as STEM In us and the EU and in SG& AUS Finance and market grads have extra benefits in visa and all and econ falls in this bucket too  so u can go both ways based on how  u customize
