JEE Success Story: It is said that if compulsion is turned into strength, then it becomes possible to change everything. Then even financial compulsion for studies cannot stop one from moving forward. One such story is of a boy from UP, who worked as a daily wage laborer by carrying gas cylinders in class 11 to fulfill his dream of studying from IIT. He also continued his studies online and worked hard to fulfill his dream of studying from IIT. The boy we are talking about is named Gagan.
I had secured 5286 rank in JEE
Gagan hails from Atrauli in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh. He shared on YouTube how he cracked IIT. In a conversation with Alakh Pandey, CEO and Founder of Physics Wala, he said that his ultimate goal was to get admission in IIT.

Daily wages were 350 rupees per day
Gagan’s family consists of six people and his father works as a warehouse keeper and labourer. He also shared that when he was in class 11th, he also used to work as a daily wage labourer by lifting gas cylinders. Gagan and his brother used to lift 250 cylinders every day and earn Rs 350 daily. Despite these hardships, Gagan remained steadfast. He did a lot of overtime at work and used his smartphone to continue his online education after work. With hard work and dedication, he managed to get admission in Electrical and Communication Engineering at IIT BHU.
