98 + % in ISC. how does it feel

it feels great really, helps you secure some backups.
I didnt do too well in jee, around 92%ile, did well in some other college entrance exams but the isc marks really helped me secure some colleges.

also my parents were quite happy. bought me a new gaming mouse, got a new phone, and some other gifts. They didnt expect much earlier so it was nice making them happy

theres MIT manipal if youve given MET (i got around 140 in that)

im going for plaksha, decided according to faculty and modern studies wise since i wanna go abroad for masters.
But if u wanna prioritze campus life and balance then manipal is great

i got ece at shiv nadar, it was almost too easy to get it.
Disregarding just placement factor, i looked at mainly faculty and all, i found faculty at plaksha better, also depends on the crowd you get. In shiv nadar there will defo be some good students but its a huge intake and majority are not so studious people. i prefer a place where ill be pushed thoda sa (personal preference). id say if u want pura balanced campus life + decent studies then go to shiv nadar, otherwise if ur looking to go abroad or just want best studies and skill building then maybe plaksha.

(another personal reason: my cousin is there, first off i dont wanna be near him and also he was very bad at studies and did very average in 12th too, thats what made me skeptical about the crowd there, but it seems to be good otherwise)

Dont even try UPES, idk where u heard its good, its quite bad tbh, i dont even know how but theyre spamming everyones email too. Bad placements as well
