Like most of the students, I was really confused about what to do. I knew I wanted to do engineering but I didn’t know what stream to do. So I came here and I met the faculty, and they actually helped me. They showed me the labs, they showed me what I would be interested in.”
I was the founding member of the entrepreneurship club, and being the leader, I got a lot of opportunities to attend events, seminars, and conferences around the city.”
The Georgia trip was a very memorable one. It was our first trip from the university, and the faculty members and friends made it memorable. We also got to learn a lot about Georgian architecture and design, which we implemented in our academic work later on.”
