Someone truly said that along with hardwork and determination, one needs proper guidance & direction to succeed. I would like to thank Vijay sir and the 'A' triumvirate at edmyt for helping me realise my potential. During my preparation, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of resources that edmyt had to offer. I wish edmyt the best in its quest to help students achieve their dreams and help shape a better tomorrow, for themselves and the world.
