My successful performance in research work, along with coding assessment and a comprehensive panel interview, led to a prestigious PhD offer from IIIT Delhi.

During my third year at JKLU, l participated in a semester exchange program at IlIT Delhi, where I explored advanced courses. This experience led to an interview at IIIT Delhi in my final semester of BTech, resulting in my selection as a Research Intern at SBILAB, IIITD.

I fully dedicated myself to the internship, and within just 15 days, my strong performance earned me a promotion to Research Assistant and a significant stipend increase. This promotion was based on my contributions over the initial six months.

This opportunity has now paved the way for an even more significant advancement in my career. Based on my internship performance, I have the chance to pursue a PhD directly after my BTech. Additionally, if I enroll as a full-time PhD student, my tuition fees will be waived, along with the concurrent completion of my M.Tech. degree.

The support and guidance provided by JKLU have been crucial in reaching these milestones. I am convinced that with hard work and the readiness to seize opportunities, one can unlock endless possibilities and truly transform their life.

Now, I have the opportunity to delve deeper into research and make meaningful contributions to the field. It truly is a dream come true.
