I work hard to enhance my soft skills in order to become a professional, says Sai Sri Pushpa
By: Sai Sri Pushpa
So, I decided to get into an NIT. I was curious about operating systems and wanted to explore it more. So, I chose Computer Science as my specialization. Considering my rank and various other aspects I chose NIT, Andhra Pradesh.
By the end of my secondary schooling, Mathematics and Physics became my favourite subjects. So, I decided to take PCM as my core topics in 11th and 12th standard which helped me to get into engineering. Most engineering aspirants focus on JEE Main, JEE Advanced, while others focus on state entrance exams like EAMCET. I went for JEE Main as I wished to get into IIT.
To be honest I was not much aware of NITs and their criteria of admission and number of seats in each branch. I got a good score in JEE Main but my score was not very high in JEE Advanced as I was able to only qualify it. So, I decided to get into an NIT. I was curious about operating systems and wanted to explore it more. So, I chose Computer Science as my specialization. Considering my rank and various other aspects I chose NIT, Andhra Pradesh.
Weekend assessments and mock tests helped me to improve my speed in problem-solving and also enhance my time management skill. Finally, after a long battle with chemistry, I gave JEE Main and got a good score. After JEE Main, I gave JEE Advanced and qualified it but was not able to get CSE in IIT.
I was also interested in Computer Science Engineering. So, I researched various NITs where I could get admission based on my rank. Some of them were NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Durgapur, NIT Raipur, NIT Andhra Pradesh. Taking many aspects into account, I decided to get registered for CSE in NIT Andhra Pradesh.
I attend my classes regularly and try not to confine myself to only books. I try to explore more about the topics of my interest and if needed get enrolled in an online course to gain a grip on them. To develop my technical knowledge I focus more on my soft skills and try to utilize all the opportunities offered by my college.
Coming to college completely transformed my thought process. In 11th and 12th class, I was a bookworm but after coming to college I realized that I should not confine myself to books only. I need to work hard to develop my skills to deal with things professionally. I know that the days spent in college are going to be memorable for me all my life and this experience is going to play an important role for me in achieving my goals.
