Why there are so many (nearly 200) dropouts every year from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur?

There are several reasons for students dropping out from IITs, including lack of interest and passion, pressure, and even not the inability to cope up with the institutional competition. The table below provides some statistics regarding the dropout rates at IITs in recent years.

Reasons to Drop-out:

• There are people who motivate students by saying that cracking JEE Advance and going to an IIT is the final task to settle in life. This is a wrong notion that is usually imbibed into the minds of students.
• There are instances in which students, after getting into IIT, can’t cope up with the syllabus. They get frustrated, and before things turn out to be worse, they quit engineering.
• On the other hand, there are some students, who after getting into engineering realize that they have a different passion in life and try to make a career in it, thus quitting the degree program.

These are some of the reasons prevalent for dropouts in IITs. But, it is to be considered that engineering is a way of life. It teaches the students to pass through any ups and downs in life as well as careers.
