Student Cracks DU, But His Parents Won't Let Him Go, And The Reason Is...
Last Updated: The student's parents refused to let him go, citing severe pollution in the capital as the reason for their decision. A student from Chandigarh shared his heartbreak after his parents refused to let him pursue his studies at Delhi University (DU), citing severe pollution in the capital as the reason for their decision. In the Reddit post, the student said he had a rough year, mentally and emotionally, after failing three competitive exams. However, he finally saw hope after clearing the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and securing admission to Hansraj College, one of DU's top colleges. 'After failing in three competitive exams and going through a rough year mentally, I finally got something I truly wanted – admission into Hansraj College," he wrote. 'I worked really hard for this." Hansraj College offers admission to undergraduate courses through CUET UG scores, while postgraduate admissions are based on DUET scores. 'I understand it's a valid concern, but it feels like my dreams are getting crushed right when I'm this close to achieving them," the student shared. 'I feel stuck and honestly pretty heartbroken." He reached out to Reddit users for advice and support, asking if anyone else had gone through something similar. The post quickly gained attention, and many users offered comforting words and practical suggestions. One person wrote, 'Explain to them that getting into Hansraj and letting that opportunity go would be a mistake." Another user said, 'Look at the population of Delhi — many survive and thrive in DU despite the pollution. Colleges have pretty green and clean campuses." 'Bro, you're gonna miss a lot if you don't come here… Yes, pollution is a problem, but you only have to deal with it for three months. Check the AQI now," commented another. CUET is a national-level, computer-based test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). It was introduced to create a common platform for admissions across central, state, private, and deemed universities. The exam is held annually. For this Chandigarh student, though, clearing CUET was just one part of the journey. Convincing his parents might be the harder battle. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 09:59 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Meet UPSC topper who used AI for preparation, cracked UPSC CSE twice, became IAS officer with AIR..., name is...
IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj (File) UPSC Success Story: While most aspirants throng coaching center to cover the gigantic syllabus of UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE)– one of the toughest recruitment exams in India– a few adopt novel approaches to prepare for the tough recruitment test. One such individual is IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj, a young IAS officer from Uttar Pradesh, who used a completely different approach to prepare for UPSC CSE, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance his subject knowledge and prepare for the final interview. Who is IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj? Born in Uttarawali, a small village in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district, Vibhor Bhardwaj was bright student from his early school days, and earned his MSc degree in Physics from the Hansraj College, Delhi University, and soon began preparations to clear the UPSC CSE and realize his lifelong dream of joining civil services. Vibhor Bhardwaj picked Physics as his optional subject for the UPSC exam, but instead of traditional coaching centers, relied on online classes and self-written notes to prepare for the tough recruitment test. His efficient preparation strategy enabled him to quickly prepare for UPSC CSE prelims, and cover the entire UPSC Mains syllabus within a span of just seven months. In an interview, Bhardwaj revealed how he carefully studied previous UPSC CSE question papers, and used these as a guide to strategize his preparation. He also focused on daily news and current affairs, in addition to regular mock tests, which further sharpened his knowledge. How Vibhor Bhardwaj used AI to crack UPSC? Interestingly, a key part of Vibhor Bhardwaj's UPSC preparation was the use of AI tools like Google's Gemini, which he used for mock interviews. Vibhor revealed that these AI chatbots acted like teachers for him, helping him identify his strengths and weaknesses. The AI mock interviews faced him with a wide-range of questions, which sharpened and strengthened his preparation for the actual interview. IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj AIR Ultimately, Vibhor Bhardwaj's hard work and dedication paid off when he cracked the UPSC CSE in 2022 with an All India Rank of 743. However, this rank could not ensure him an IAS post, so he tried again in 2024; this time jumping 724 ranks to secure AIR 19 and achieve his dreaming of becoming an IAS officer.
