I opted for Power System Engineering in UPES, Dehradun. My university gave several opportunities to learn and shine. One such opportunity which shaped my life was the International Student Exchange Program. I was selected for one of the world’s best universities, Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia, for my seventh semester. The exposure and practical expertise which I got from the international faculty and highly-equipped laboratories, improved my academic performance. Above all, I learnt how to live independently. Constant support and guidance of the professors helped me hone my skills and face the challenges of the practical world.
