“I had a weakness towards space science since I started reading books of various Indian scientists. After completion of my 12th class, I had attended many all-India level entrances and clicked also. I had cleared the All India JEE Advance and got a chance to enroll at IIT. But, I later choose to peruse space science as I was keen on doing research on it. When the notification was released for the admission into IIST, I applied and managed to grab a seat in Avionics engineering which has only 30 seats at all India level," he said.
