Suddenly a huge crowd had gathered to see their respective results. After 5 minutes I managed to reach the board, and the result was “Information Technology at NIT Durgapur”. NIT Durgapur ? Had I filled that in my options, I could barely remember, all I could remember was that I had filled the CSE, ME, IT, EEE, ECE of BIT Mesra and then NIT Jamshedpur. Had I mentioned NIT Durgapur, I took out the file to check if I had mentioned NIT Durgapur, and there it was in the middle of BIT Mesra and NIT Jamshedpur. I had no idea about this college or rather say any NIT at that time.
