Hi guys!! I'm in back to back interviews so I'll reply to all of you soon, JUST WANTED TO SAY that since I don't have a big IIT JEE audience, if you know anyone in your circles who this video could help, please please share it with them :) Love all of you BYEEE

[lokeshvenkatesh]

As a science student, I must say that beyond all the Coaching institute videos portraying JEE toppers as gods, it's really humbling to see that they're after all just normal, sane humans who love their interests. And that beyond money or praise, it's really just hard work and passion that matters when it comes to our dreams as students. :)

When IIT Bombay girl said she started from 5th class i was like DAYUUUMMMNNNN

Dude nobody in this world can predict what kind of video Shaurya will make next, LOVE THE VERSATILITY!

[dheerbhanushali]

Thank you for having us Shaurya! It felt really bracing to have a platform to talk about our experiences :)

I'm actually Impressed as to how many people you've gathered from all over india, this is really encouraging! I was hoping if you could make a video suggesting what steps we can take to figure out which field we want to go into.

It would be really nice to see a bunch of IIT dropouts or a bunch of people who went to IIT and didn't get to chose the branch they wanted to study so instead ended up settling anyway for something that they didn't really want just to have the "IIT" tag or people who finished their engineering in IIT and never ended up being engineers but inside found other jobs like institute teachers or anything else. Now that would be extremely interesting. I think that'll help people to study what they really want rather an being stressed about a college tag and not make it in life.

Wow finally found a YouTuber who doesn’t upload videos just about himself rather each one is very informative n useful
Great job shauriya👏🏻

[dharsn]

I’m glad that there’s finally a video about IIT and JEE in English, because for motivation, ill be coming to this video until i join one :)

[rishisaboo]

As a jee aspirant myself, i was always frustrated with the crappy youtube space that jee had! It was just all nonsense about srategies, toppers and all other bullshit! Finally, there you are shaurya with something out of all the boring jee content :) Also, I started following you since your reactions video and always kinda felt leftout and not very relatable with your content(wanted to really go abroad, but dropped the plan and have no regrets with pursuing the iit dream) but still loved watching all your stuff ! I guess this will be pretty relatable with all the jee-engineering people watvhing the video! cheers :)

[aishwaryashetty]

I hv nothing to do with IIT. I watched the video just for that Guwahati guy😍😂

[sitazaildar]

33:31 woah! that changed my perception towards jee in a really positive way...

[vidhibhandari]

I was glued to this vid for straight 37 mins.. and the questions were soo valid...and kudos to editing.. how the background changes with questions ..this was amazing 👏

[mrswaggypants]

Honestly, watching Shauryas' videos has now become an everyday thing!!!

[ayush]

I have seen parth in @Narendra_raj 's vlog he is so intelligent and talented

[MedhanshBakshi]

I am so thankful yo kath path for interviewing shaurya so i could discover this masterpiece

[kiranwadhwa]

Hey Shaurya can you please do a round table with people from different medical colleges across the county . Love your channel ✨

[mimanshatiwari]

As a JEE aspirant, I swear this motivated me more than anything. It makes me realize that its not just a paper I'm preparing for its a journey to find Life. I just love how humble they are and they actually change the concept of JEE that is portrayed on youtube. I love how this motivates me to work harder and experience th life they are talking about. Having around 10 months left and listening to this as a podcast while studying is something I'm not gonna regret. Also Thanks a lot bhaiya for this Video. ( Finally something relatable) Started following you 3 months back and after this video no regrets . Thanks a lot for this

[vanshikachauhan]

With all my heart i love this boy, his work, his energy and his channel more than anything 😊❤✌🏻

[krishkumar]

a great video I am in 10th grade and since, my boards have been cancelled, I started weighing the pros and cons of IIT and other universities abroad . I started surfing through videos on YT to see whether the personality development of IITians is equivalent to that of the students pursuing study in abroad or currently studying in abroad and till now I have been viewing IITians as students who lack the personality development by a large margin but after watching this video it has truly changed my perspective of IITians. This was a much needed video.
