Apart from being an optimist, I am also enthusiastic and fun-loving: Rajat Varshney

I have done my intermediate schooling in PCM subjects. I was interested in things related to engineering like circuitry and electronics. I was also good at Physics, solving long derivations and applying logic in the numericals. I had a good command over it. That is why I chose to pursue engineering and opted the course of B. Tech. Mathematics has always been my favourite subject. I love to teach Mathematics to my other batchmates as well. Also, I always had a good command over Science. Therefore I always knew that what I wanted to study and achieve in life.

I gave several competitive exams like Indraprastha and UPTU. As I scored good marks/ranks in both the exams, I got I.T.S Engineering College in the first counseling of UPTU. All I did for the preparation is self-study for the competitive exams. I revised the basics that I learned in the school academics and prepared for aptitude and reasoning. I secured admission in other colleges too but the atmosphere of I.T.S Engineering College was so captivating that I could not think about anything else. Also, I heard a lot of positive reviews about this college from my seniors.

When I was in the first year, I thought that college has strict teachers, aggressive seniors who do ragging. But as time passed by I got to know that the faculty of first year was the best. They motivated the students and give counselling to them. They encourage the students to take part in co-curricular activities like college fest and games. I have done skits and Nukkad Natak. I have participated in the photography competition held in the college in which I stood first and was titled as the best photographer of college. I also won the 2nd prize in the quiz held on Engineers' day. I have also attended entrepreneurship seminars held in other colleges. I have been the coordinator of fest management team of the college. And besides that, I have been the sponsorship head and organizer of MUN event held in the college. I have learned a lot from my college activities and all these activities have made me a better person and has built me as a professional in these years of engineering.

My college has really changed me as a person. Earlier, I was a little shy, less confident and could not express my self very clearly. But now I am a sharp speaker and I can speak my mind all the times. I write articles for college and newspapers as well. I have also become inquisitive about the world. That is why I keep myself updated by watching news and reading newspapers. All these new habits and approach of mine has made me a confident person. Now I can communicate with anyone without being shy and getting nervous about anything.
