Q. Course Name
A. B.Tech Biomedical

Q. Tell us something about yourself?
A. On the verge of completing my course but not much into technical stuff. Skilled and interested on the marketing side, looking for a career in the same. Technical experience- industrial training in siemens, Mumbai (5 weeks), Project training in BARC, Mumbai (going on) Non-technical- trainee in Bajaj Ltd, Ahmedabad industry overview, market analysis and consumer behavior (4 weeks), sales and marketing head for thesocialcave.com (college startup) business plan selected among the top 100 plans in the ICICI trinity B-plan competition. Other than this I have organized events such as a Snooker tournament, Valentine parties and start-up launch celebrations and I feel I am actually good at it.
Q. Tell us about your college?
A. MIT, Manipal is amongst the colleges with best infrastructure in India. Faculty is pretty decent and well experienced to help students make up a good career. About the crowd, it is said to be a college where usually rich kids come and in the process of having fun manage to get a degree good standards (which is a good balance according to me). There are several places to hangout as the whole town is college crowd from different colleges under Manipal University. MIT has two major festivals- Techtatva (technical fest) and Revels (cultural fest), other than this events keep happening.
Q. What inspired you to choose this course over all other courses?
A. I did not know much about this course or even engineering. It was just the trend that everybody had this mindset of opting for science after 10th and then going for engineering or medical. Once I got into the college, I realized the number of options that were available. May be I would not have realized that in some other college but MIT keeps those options wide open. Unfortunately it was too late to change my course because of obvious reasons. Finally there was not much of inspiration for the course, it was just that I was following what was happening.
Q. What would you advice someone planning to pursue your course?
A. Know about you like and what you want to do first., Then know about what is the course about., Only if those two things match, go for it.
Q[/b]. What are your future plans?
A. Still clueless.
