00:00The level of self-awareness at the time of clearing the JEE and appearing for the counselling
00:07is usually pretty low.
00:10The decisions that a 17-year-old makes, that would have been your age, right, at the time
00:16of counselling, 17, 18, are not well informed.
00:19You do not know what that branch holds for you.
00:22You also do not know what you want in life.
00:26So that has happened and that is going to happen because nobody is teaching you life.
00:31The result, terrible levels of self-awareness.
00:35And these days I suppose you spend several years at that place called Kota as well.
00:41And that place is meant to make you very unidirectional.
00:44And that's how people get selected.
00:46How will you know anything about anything else?
00:50You will not know about the world and you will not know about yourself.
