The Unforgettable Experience of My College Admission...part-1

Finally, after eighteen years of wait, the very commonly known phase came in my life. It was now time to get admission in a college. Like all my fellow students I had chosen my career path which was to become a journalist. I too had a dream. The dream of studying in the prestigious University of Delhi. We all know about the basic requirement to get into DU and that is a very good score. Unfortunately, my score in class 12th Board examinations was not very high. Therefore, one would think my probability of getting admission in DU is very low. Nevertheless, I did not give up. I had been preparing for two entrance examinations since after the board examinations finished. These examinations, CATE for English honours and C-JET for journalism honours, were comparatively new and not much known about outside Delhi. I lived in Bhilai where most students were either pursuing Engineering or Medical. Surprising as it may sound, I was the only one student, in my class of 37, who did not give an Engineering entrance examination. I had only one guide, the internet. I made a short trip to Delhi in the month of April to find out about these examinations and to search for supplementary books to prepare for these. Whatever books I bought, I studied them for the two months I had before the examinations...
