I believe in hard work and determination are the keys to success. My confidence brought me from nothing to something.
I was born and brought up in a small village in Dharwad district of Karnataka state, India. Since I was good at Series completion, Analogy, Classification, Coding-Decoding, etc I got selected in a renowned Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya(A residential school). I'm the first person from our village to go out and study outside @ the age of 11. I finished my schooling, then pre-university course in Kittel science college Dharwad.
Saw an ad of a college that provides Aeronautical engineering in Indore and joined, which we later found out that it was not a college but a training centre that gives training for IMI, AMAeSI, AMIE courses. without telling this to parents applied for a commerce degree thru distance learning.
