Many aspirants dream of studying in prestigious institutions like IIT or NIT to pursue their higher studies. Social media is filled with various posts related to that topic, and one of those shares has left people chuckling. A son shared a note claiming his father drew it up about him getting a seat at these iconic establishments.
“My father today told me in writing that if I get into a prestigious college like IIT, NIT, IIIT, or BITSAT then he will give me 40% of his salary per month till his retirement. And if I get into any tier 2,3 college then I have to give him my 100% salary till my retirement (sic),” the student wrote. He also shared a handwritten note from his dad.

{{/usCountry}}Though most people considered the post humourous, a few dropped serious comments. Addressing them, the original poster wrote, “Actually it’s a light mood declaration which we often give to each other in writing. I gave him a declaration in class 10th that I will score above 90% and then sometime he give me a declaration in writing that he will take me to a trip if wake up early, so its just healthy guys, we often make promises to our parents but in my dad's case he wants everything in writing (sic).”
