Embracing the Unexpected: My Engineering Experience at ADGIPS

Turning Setbacks into Success: My ADGIPS Journey

I always wanted to pursue Engineering at GGSIPU. But, I could not secure admission to the university because I had a lower score on the JEE Main exam. With that rank, I secured admission to Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Professional Studies (ADGIPS) after attending counseling to confirm my place.

In the beginning, I was not too happy with the college. It did not meet my expectations, and I had numerous uncertainties. But, as I focused on the opportunities before me, all my concerns about the past disappeared.

Expanding Horizons: My Engineering Experience at ADGIPS

During the early days of my Engineering studies, I learnt that educational development surpasses basic classroom presence and preparing for exams. ADGIPS teaches through its specialized teachers, who follow a systematic curriculum. Students also participate in extracurricular activities that take place every day at the university.

The limited availability of practical experience resulted in extra work requirements for experiential learning within laboratory facilities. I combined virtual learning and small assignments suggested by the teachers while applying for internships. The ADGIPS organises a range of activities, from hackathons to extracurricular activities, alongside regular academic sessions. The college maintains smaller batches compared to the elite institutions so that every student can explore various clubs for self-improvement. I participated in various technical events organised by the college, which helped me in improving my teamwork skills and practical knowledge. This also helped to increase my self-confidence. 

Preparing for Success: My Placement Journey at ADGIPS

ADGIPS hosts placement activities that go beyond typical placement standards. Many companies that offer Programming-focused roles visit the campus. However, fewer companies visit the college for the ECE branch. The placement cell provides valuable resources through various activities such as resume-building workshops, mock interview sessions, etc. My seniors secured rewarding positions through off-campus placement drives by enhancing their skills through these activities. I am also trying to do the same.

Unexpected Growth: My Journey at ADGIPS

ADGIPS was not my dream college. But, my experience there was good. Although, I faced many difficulties, I managed to find excellent connections and additional knowledge during my time there.
