Dropping out of college? The final video.

Kanishka Sharma on Choosing Not to Drop Out

Kanishka Sharma explains why she is not dropping out of college and reflects on the pressure of not getting into her dream institution.

She began creating content in eighth grade and later chose PCM. Although she had not planned to prepare for JEE, she focused on CUET to try to get into a particular college. After she didn’t get in, she enrolled in a Plan B college. However, she spent much of her first year preoccupied with trying again instead of fully engaging with college life.

She retook CUET while juggling college finals and says she gave it her best. When the result still didn’t get her into her preferred college, she decided not to take another year off or blame herself. She will continue her current degree and return to university with a fresh outlook.

Her Message to Students

• Not getting into your first-choice college is not the end of the world.
• Choosing a Plan B does not make you a failure or a loser.
• Your worth and potential are not determined by one exam or one institution.
• Keep loving yourself, recognize that you tried your best, and give yourself permission to move forward.

Kanishka hopes to become someone her younger self, her parents, and her present self can be proud of.
