He started off the session by sharing the experience of working in a construction industry after graduating from FISAT. Working here instilled in him a desire to learn and get exposure and it eventually prompted him to explore the possibilities outside India. He stressed on the reasons for doing a through research before finalising on what to study and which university to choose from.
According to him, agencies which help students getting admission abroad tend to market only certain universities. It is important to explore beyond those.
