Dr. Gajendra Purohit at IIT Patna Celesta 2024
A Mentor’s Presence That Sparked a Wave of Motivation
Patna, Bihar – At the heart of Celesta 2024, the annual techno-management festival of IIT Patna, stood a moment that resonated far beyond the bounds of any technical workshop or competition—the visit of Dr. Gajendra Purohit. A name widely respected in academic circles, especially in mathematics and exam mentorship, Dr. Purohit’s presence on campus was not just a guest appearance; it was an event within an event.
Known affectionately by thousands of students as GP Sir, Dr. Purohit has earned a reputation as a transformative educator whose ability to connect with learners, simplify complex concepts, and instill confidence has helped shape the careers of countless aspirants. His visit to IIT Patna reaffirmed his influence, not just as a teacher, but as a guiding force for students navigating the demanding world of academic excellence and career uncertainty.
A Humble Arrival, A Grand Impact
Upon his arrival at IIT Patna, Dr. Purohit was welcomed warmly by both organizers and students. But it wasn’t the formality that marked his visit—it was the genuine excitement and respect that echoed through the corridors. Students from across departments, even outside the math domain, turned up to interact with him, eager to hear his words of wisdom.
In an age where digital education has made it easy to consume content but harder to feel connected, Dr. Purohit brings back the rare quality of personal mentorship. Many of the students attending had prepared for exams like IIT JAM, GATE, CSIR-NET, and others using his lectures and strategies online. Meeting the mind behind the method in person, they said, made the guidance feel more real—and more reachable.
A Lecture That Wasn’t Just About Mathematics
While GP Sir is known for his command over mathematics, what truly stood out during his session at IIT Patna was the life perspective he brought into the classroom. The lecture hall was filled to capacity, and yet, his words felt tailored for every individual listening.
He didn’t speak in formulas; he spoke in experiences. He narrated stories of students who overcame failures, spoke candidly about his own journey, and constantly emphasized that success isn’t about a straight path—it’s about persistence. He reminded students that struggling with concepts or career clarity was natural, but giving up was not an option.
“The exam is just a small part of your story. It’s your consistency, how you manage your self-doubt, and how you come back stronger—that’s what matters,” he said, to thunderous applause.
Personal Connections, Lasting Impressions
Beyond the lecture, what truly made the visit memorable was Dr. Purohit’s informal interaction with students. He patiently stayed back, took questions, posed for photos, and even chatted with small groups about specific academic challenges.
“He didn’t treat us like just another audience,” said a third-year BTech student. “He listened, responded, and cared. I’ve followed his YouTube lectures for two years, but meeting him made everything feel more personal. He’s the same offline as he is online—honest, humble, and encouraging.”
Even faculty members admired his grounded nature and his ability to connect with students beyond technical boundaries. His visit became a common topic of conversation across hostels and mess halls—not just for what he taught, but for how he made everyone feel capable and seen.
A Message for Aspiring Scholars
In his message to students during the session, GP Sir highlighted the importance of self-belief, structured preparation, and not comparing oneself to others. He advocated focusing on long-term goals rather than momentary setbacks.
“Every student is unique,” he said. “Don’t chase someone else’s strategy. Build your own. Understand your pace, your strengths, and stay consistent. Hard work will never betray you.”
His message was particularly impactful for students in their pre-final and final years, many of whom are navigating uncertainties about exams, placements, or higher studies.
Conclusion: More Than Just a Visit
Dr. Gajendra Purohit’s visit to IIT Patna during Celesta 2024 wasn’t merely a scheduled talk. It was a reminder of the power one educator can have in shaping hundreds of young minds. His grounded presence, honest storytelling, and relentless encouragement left behind more than inspiration—it left a blueprint for self-belief.
In an academic ecosystem that often becomes mechanical and overwhelming, GP Sir brought clarity, warmth, and hope. And for the students of IIT Patna, his words will continue to echo long after the applause has faded.
As the fest concluded and the campus returned to its rhythm, one thing was clear: GP Sir’s visit wasn’t a chapter in the event—it was a chapter in their journey.
