I still remember the day I witnessed the scaled models of famous civil structures in the annual science and technology festival of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, 6 years ago. Its mammoth machinery and structures interested me a lot. I think that the best way to foretell the future is to work for it. With this understanding, I always framed and rendered my life towards predetermined goals. I got enrolled in Bachelors of engineering program in civil engineering in C. K. Pithawalla College of Engineering & Technology, Surat which is rated among one of the best engineering colleges in Gujarat, India.

Right from the second year, my objective was to gain knowledge and understand the subject thoroughly rather than just scoring grades. I was unable to score decent grades till my 4th semester but then once I understood my goal, I scored and improved with huge margin from third year. My uncle being a civil Structure engineer guided me
