From Uncertainty to Growth: My Journey at CSI WITS
Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2025 ( JEE Main )
Registration - 1 Feb '25 - 25 Feb '25
Myself, Dipayan Haldar, an average student at CSI Wesley Institute of Science and Technology with an interest in Computer Science Engineering. I am actively learning programming languages such as Java, Python, and C, and I am also interested in exploring new technologies and improving my skills.
Journey to CSI WITS College:
I believe, we should be very flexible in learning about any new technology that develops day by day. I was a PCM student at the Hyderabad Intermediate College. I secured good marks in class 12, and I chose Engineering for my graduation. So, I appeared for JEE Mains. But, as it was not planned earlier that I would appear for JEE, I didn’t prepare for it and hence couldn’t qualify it. This made me unsure about Engineering, but, then, I got to know about our state’s engineering exam, EAMCET. I appeared for the exam. I was a bit scared for the results because if I had not qualified it at that time, then I might not have had the time to apply for admission through the merit process. But, thankfully, I cleared the exam.
