Mentoring students and young professionals to secure scholarships and top admits | Helped 800+ secure 30M$ in scholarships | x3 Scholarship winner | President Erasmus Mundus Association 2017-2019
Scored 96% in 12th class. I decided to study Environmental Engineering. Everyone around me called me stupid. They said I was going to regret it. When I went to take admission for undergraduate, even teachers advised me to enroll in computer science. They told me that there was no scope in this field and you are too good to study environmental engineering. I ignored everyone and pursued my dream. With my hard work, I became the university topper. And again, this time no one praised/supported me. Why? ”Environmental hai. top karna aasan tha”, they all said. (It’s easy to get the top rank in Environmental Engineering major) Because of my academic excellence, I secured - Scholarship to puruse internship National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU) - Selected for internship at E&Y - Selected for internship at Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) - Also, internship at Centre for Fire, Explosion and Environment Safety (DRDO) And now he has secured 2X 100% scholarships 100k+ Euros, and several top admits to study in Europe, Canada etc. But it doesn’t matter, does it? He didn't do study computer science after all. "Our obsession with certain Engineering courses, MBAs and MBBS" is insane Anyways, I will introduce him, when he gets all the scholarship results. Then you all can give him all the praise he deserves. Let's respect every field of study and not only certain Engg, MBA or MBBS. This has been one of the several #eureka moment from topmate.io, what's yours? The journey which started with a simple query has led to this 6 months long mentorship, which I am, sure will be a lifelong connection. ****** ♻️ Reshare if like the post and follow Pavan K Sriram
