This year some 9500 students obtained apex point, GPA 5.The number of students achieving “A” or “A-" have increased substantially. Consequently there will be a rush on the premises of different universities by the freshers. As achievement boosts expectations, the newcomers would like to see themselves into a favorable distinguished vehicle heading towards success.

As long as placing you in a desired discipline backed by recognized infrastructure home and abroad is concerned, much care is needed through this process. Those who have passed with distinction shouldn't hurry in seeking their place of enrollment, as perception to academic degrees and disciplines have been changing. The purpose of education is being manipulated while concern is gathering around a dreamlike cosy workstation under cool atmosphere paying fat cheques.

As long as you have to attain your material and literal object you should match the opportunities to your endowments.

You are picking your cherished product (degrees) from a basket that contains many of its kind. So be more concerned over the product you purchase than the architectural value of stalls (academy) where these are sold. In this competitive global market the ambience is exaggerated while products are overpriced though a temporary dazzling discount label has been attached. All isn't same at the core as perceived from a spectator's angle.

One soothing point is that you can consult with experienced people before making a bold decision.
Don't hurry and try to evaluate your performance by yourself being unbiased to a glittering GPA. You shouldn't abstain yourself from a contest you haven't taken part in. Your confidence always goes a long way to success.
