How would you summarize your life at IITR?

My life at IITR has been a roller-coaster ride in the true sense. I suffered and learned a lot, both academically and socially. From having a very low CGPA in the first semester to getting placed in BEL with a good CGPA, I came a long way. It was the constant support of my seniors, batchmates, and juniors too that helped me overcome difficult situations and have a lot of fun.

What did you feel / think the first time you heard about UBA?

At first, I didn’t think too much about the group, but somewhere deep down, I had a feeling that I would end up working at the ground level in UBA. I wasn’t sure what exactly it would involve, but the idea of contributing to something real and impactful always stayed with me.

What is your biggest takeaway being a part of team UBA?

I got to know how to communicate with people from different age groups and backgrounds, how to tackle challenges, and also how to have fun while working with them.

Any quote you cherish or advice you would like to share?

Seniors are your guardian angels — both on campus and beyond.

Anything else you would like to share?

Try not to compromise on your academics, and learn to handle pressure while juggling multiple activities such as managing academics alongside projects, initiatives, sports, etc.
