I am from Jaipur, Rajasthan. After completing my JEE coaching at Matrix Sikar in Rajasthan, I passed the exam and took admission in IIT Kharagpur's Electrical Engineering department. First Year: Navigating Initial Challenges My journey began in December 2020.
The first year was online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it difficult to interact socially with seniors and professors. The first semester, however, was particularly tough as I struggled with English communication. However, I dedicated myself to developing my language abilities and eventually started adjusting to the academic rigour.
Second Year: Campus Life and Personal Growth In August 2021, I finally arrived on campus. I was allotted Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. At the start of the second year, I participated in the Assimilation Programme (AP), where seniors shared insights about college life and careers, which was invaluable in understanding the college culture.
I interacted with many seniors who played a vital role in my college life, offering guidance and support. AP plays an important role in the overall extra academic growth of a student. I started cycling in my second year and really enjoyed it.
The campus has its own natural beauty; it is big at 2100 acres and I enjoyed it. Some famous places inside IIT Kharagpur are the Helipad, Adda, Gymkhana swimming pool, Tata Sports Complex, and Nalanda classroom. Extracurricular Activities In my second year, I immersed myself in various societies and clubs.
