I am a girl engineer. I am told that there are about 15% of engineering students are girls. This makes me special
Due to nature of my father's work, I have traveled in many places around the world. The visits to these places has taught me to deal with diversity. I am comfortable in dealing with different ethnic groups and can easily work with people.
I plan to pursue a career in power systems and smart grid.
Some highlights of my work:
I graduated Class XII in 2012 from Garden High School, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. I scored 92.4% in ISC.
I also gave my ICSE from Garden High School in 2010 and have topped my class (considering all seven subjects in the exam) with 94.6% marks (best 5 including English).
I joined Garden High at class VI. Apart from being good in academics, I have also played a leading role in school activities. I have been the Class Monitor, Prefect, Senior Prefect, Vice-Captain, Captain & presently I am the Head Girl of the school. Head Girl and Head Boy are the highest student position in the school.
I won the Best All Rounder Senior student from the school. The award carries a cash prize of Rs. 25,000/-
My mother is from Ranchi, Jharkhand. A tough lady, she gave her M. Sc. from NIT Jamshedpur at advanced stage of pregnancy. In fact I was born between her theory and practical papers. She jokes that during a M.Sc. theory paper I kicked her tummy hard when she was making a mistake and thus, thanks to me, she did not loose some marks.
I have a younger sister who studies at G.D. Birla. She wants to invent something and gets a bit disappointed when she reads about inventors. "Why did they have to be born before me" - she repeatedly asks.

My Hobbies
My hobby is dancing, I have completed 3rd year certification in Rabindra Nritya and Odissi.My Family
I was born at Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. My father used to work at Tata Steel. A graduate of IIT Kharagpur, he was 3rd generation employee of Tata Steel. He still recollects his days of break-downs and shut-downs in electrical power generation and distribution from his Tata Steel days. Guess that is what drove me to choose Electrical and Engineering.My mother is from Ranchi, Jharkhand. A tough lady, she gave her M. Sc. from NIT Jamshedpur at advanced stage of pregnancy. In fact I was born between her theory and practical papers. She jokes that during a M.Sc. theory paper I kicked her tummy hard when she was making a mistake and thus, thanks to me, she did not loose some marks.
