In 2020, 8,69,010 appeared for IIT JEE exam. Out of this top 2,50,000 are allowed to appear in IIT JEE Main Exam.

Total Number of B.Tech seats across all IIT's put together is 9737!!!

That means out of 2,50,000 people who give IIT JEE Main exam, only 9737 people get to join the course. Just 4% students get into IIT.

Does that mean that the other 96% were failures?

Of course not, they were not as good as those who got to the top of the merit list.

Our BJP leader is telling that those who failed NEET, have gone abroad. He, perhaps, has never appeared for a competitive exam in his 'entire' life.

An entrance exam is essentially an elimination exam. The aim is to eliminate as many students as possible and get only the best into the institute.

If IIT is able to generate good output, remember that it had good input. The cream of students enter IIT portals.

Yet, there are drop outs, there are suicides, there are failures.

What does that tell you? It tells us that cracking an entrance exam is not the end of the struggle to pass out of these portals and that aptitude matters more than success at entrance.

And that not being able to get into IIT is not the end of the road and that anyone who did not get in is not a failure. He is just not good enough as the 4% who finally enter the IIT.
