Q1. How did you choose your course of study in school (class XI-XII)? What made you choose your current college/course (undergrad/post-grad)?

My journey as a B.Tech CSE student at Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University has been an incredible experience filled with growth, learning, and numerous opportunities. When it came to choosing my course of study, I carefully evaluated various options and ultimately decided that B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering was the perfect fit for me. There were several factors that influenced my decision. Firstly, I have always been fascinated by the world of technology and its potential to shape our future. Computers have always been an integral part of my life, and I found great joy in exploring their capabilities. Pursuing a B.Tech in CSE seemed like a natural progression to deepen my understanding and enhance my skills in this field.

Q2. How you cracked admission in your current college? What all entrance test(s) did you give? Any coaching classes that you took for preparation? Any other colleges that you were trying out for? What challenges did you face while opting for this college?

An important milestone in my academic career was getting accepted into the B.Tech CSE programme at Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University. I want to talk about my experience getting accepted to this prestigious University.

The university takes into account the requirements for admission established by the governing bodies, which primarily include the minimum academic requirements and scores on the qualifying examination. To qualify for admission, I had to meet the minimum requirements, including completing my higher secondary education with the necessary subjects and achieving the minimum marks specified by the university. I fulfilled these criteria and was eligible to apply for admission to the B.Tech CSE program.

 The application process involved submitting the required documents, including my educational transcripts, identity proof, and other necessary forms. I carefully filled out the application form, ensuring that all the information provided was accurate and complete. It's important to note that Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University also considers a quota for certain categories, which may have additional criteria for admission.

At Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, my college experience goes beyond academics and encompasses a vibrant mix of friendship, skill-building, and exciting activities.

These friendships not only make the college experience enjoyable but also contribute to personal growth and a sense of belonging.

In addition to fostering friendships, college provides ample opportunities to develop and hone various skills.

Additionally, the college organizes cultural events and festivals that showcase talent in various art forms. I actively participate in these events, whether it's dancing, singing, or performing in skits.
