Zero Percentile - Missed IIT Kissed Russia - Neeraj Chhibba (2009)

The book is about a student whose ambition was to get into IIT but could not make it due to circumstances which were beyond his control. Beyond that there is nothing much around IIT.

The protagonist has been shown to have a champion business sense who could strike a deal with any situation.

Overall a very average book. Recommended if you have nothing better to read.
