No NEET. No UPSC. No IIT. Yet ₹72 LPA.

They had told her that the only path to success was NEET, UPSC, or IIT.

She failed two of those. Didn't even attempt the third. But Rithuparna K S had something different grit.

From Rejection to ₹72 Lakh Salary

She didn't clear NEET. Didn't clear UPSC. And IIT? Not on her CV. But rather than quit, she opted for Robotics.

Whereas others pursued marks, she pursued innovation She created a farming robot that can assist Indian farmers, and it wasn't just a paper-thin idea She won gold at a world championship. While working night shifts to fund her studies.

Rolls-Royce Said No Then She Made Them Say Yes

She once applied to Rolls-Royce and was rejected. But rather than take it personally, she took it as a challenge. She kept learning. Kept making. Kept returning. And today, at the age of 20, Rithuparna takes home a staggering ₹72.3 LPA.

What's the Lesson?

Not everybody goes into the same system. Not everybody excels in the same exam. But purpose, grit, and passion? Those create a different resume. Rithuparna didn't require NEET, UPSC, or IIT.

She only required faith and she supported it with determination.

"Failure at one path does not mean failure. Sometimes it means you were meant to forge your own."
