Mystory@Vivek Vijay Bhalerao
When I was in 11th, one of my relative told me about Textile Engineering and its scope in the future. As I was strong in Chemistry, I decided to get into Textile Trade and my relative helped me gather all the information regarding the course and field. As everyone knows, Chemical Engineering is different from other branches. It is offered in very less colleges. My branch is sub-branch of Chemical Engineering. So there is scope in it. What makes it different is that competition is somewhat less than any other branche like Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, etc. My relative gave me all the information and told me not to worry about the scope in future. This branch will really give me a good platform to showcase my skills in fabrics, as well as business in future.
How I cracked college admission
I gave JEE Mains exam. The cut-offs were good at that time. I got admission in first round with above 80 percentile in my category. I got to know about Veermata Jijabai Technology Institute (VJTI), Mumbai from few of my seniors. I was trying my level best to get admission in Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai as well as other IITs. The famous colleges in Maharashtra like Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, BITS Pilani etc, were also on my list. But my priority was to take admission in a government college so that it would be helpful for me in my future. My seniors gave me a lot of idea about campus placements, where is the college situated, teaching staff and other things. So, I took admission in this college which turned out to be the best decision in my career.
