Choosing IT as a Career 

Choosing Information Technology as my course of study was not an overnight decision. In my school years, when I was in class 10 and 12, I had an interest in Mathematics and Science.

Roy College is one of the best, and its reputation and quality education are the best as well. For admission, I took the WBJEE and scored well enough to secure a seat here. This college was my top choice. 

Technology has always intrigued me, but the more I study IT, the more passionate I become about it. I am interested in coding and programming languages. During my course, I have learned about  various programming languages, databases, and web development. I am excited about contributing to technological advancements, whether by developing new software or solving data-related challenges through improved applications.  
College life has not only provided me with academic knowledge but also helped me grow as a person. Managing projects, assignments, and extracurricular activities has improved my time management and organisational skills. The college encourages students to explore their creative side.
