Mystory@Pavan Pathak: How I chose my course and career
Mystory@Pavan Pathak
I was born in lower middle class family and saw lots of ups and downs and crises in my family. There was no source of income and my parents usually remained ill. After 10+2 I decided to make my career in Engineering but after seeing my family condition, and considering the upbringing of two younger brothers, I dropped the idea of pursuing Engineering as it would be a costly affair, and instead enrolled myself in BA Arts at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University.
When I was in my graduation I started working and took tuitions to ease out the worries of my family. After graduation, I chose to work in the retail industry as I did not have any other option. I moved to Lucknow and joined Shoppers' Stop Ltd. and worked there successfully for 3 years. Next, I moved to Delhi and from the past five years I am located in Dehradun.

With an 11 Lacs rank in JEE Mains, you might get into DDU Gorakhpur's B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or possibly Electronics and Communication Engineering. Admission to top courses like Computer Science and Engineering might be tough. Check the official website for updates.
