Long time no see!
I started the page & the blog 7 years back when I realized that we had no info on what students were doing after graduation, the choices they made and their motivation.
So I took it upon myself to cover some profiles from the circle I knew, people who had changed tracks, or found new love in different fields. The result was 12 beautiful career stories, along with some much-loved faculty interviews too.
And six years after the last post, I am posting the final career story on this page. I really wanted to end the blog with this story, and it took me some time for that. Well, it's here now!
Kamal Sharma graduated with B.Tech in Civil Engineering in 2010. Here, in the final interview in the series, he talks about his experience at IITR, how he changed tracks from Civil Engineering to a doctorate in Physics, and what advice does he have for current and recently graduated students.
Kamal is currently a postdoc at the Texas Tech University
11 years after my own graduation, times have changed - we now have so much info at our disposal, from WhatsApp groups of batches to updated LinkedIn profiles.
So it's time for me to put an end to the blog and move on with life. I had a great time curating these stories, and I hope the posts were useful to the readers.
I wish you all very good lives
