My time at IIIT Dharwad has been immensely rewarding, offering a supportive environment that fosters both academic and personal growth. The college provides a wealth of opportunities, from workshops to hackathons, enabling us to gain essential skills while collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds. The faculty are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly approachable, guiding us through challenges, inspiring innovative ideas, and enhancing our learning experience, especially during hands-on projects. This balanced approach, along with excellent sports facilities and a strong community spirit, has made my journey at IIIT Dharwad both enriching and enjoyable.

During the six months of the E-Yantra Robotics competition, my teammates and I worked late into the night, and it was truly inspiring to witness the dedication and creativity each member brought to the table. Our collaborative spirit allowed us to brainstorm and refine unique ideas, which were crucial to our project's success, even in the face of significant challenges. The experience not only highlighted the power of teamwork but also strengthened our bonds as we navigated obstacles together. At my internship at IIT Bombay's ERTS Lab, I had the privilege of meeting and working with brilliant individuals who profoundly changed my perspective on the world. Collaborating closely with our mentors, Prof. Kavi Arya and Andrea F., we engaged in lively discussions about the latest research, creating an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating environment. These experiences enriched my knowledge and fostered lasting connections that I will always cherish.
To all the juniors, I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity you encounter. Our college is incredibly supportive, and the professors are very approachable—please reach out to them and invest in your personal development. Whether it’s participating in competitions or seeking internships, working alongside others who bring diverse ideas can be incredibly rewarding, and you’ll often learn more than you expect from your teammates.
