Graduating from NITT translates to carrying the responsibility of living up to its reputation, a formidable task for even the best of students! For Vidhya, the task was made even more difficult by the fact that she had done both her bachelors and masters here. In her word, “It has been a strange, unconventional journey” when she looks back but enriching in some ways.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in 2000, she worked for 2 years. Her urge to keep learning and specializing motivated her to pursue her masters and she joined the master’s course in VLSI in NITT. It helped her focus on an area she thought would be the trend in the near future. After graduating, she worked on chip design for the next few years. In this period, she experienced career growth at a slow pace, but was happy with her learning experience.
A decade after she graduated with her masters, she is currently pursuing her doctorate in devices and micro-systems. As she has rightly said, “There is still a long journey ahead but I am focussing on the path to tread rather than the distance!” #Achievers #VidhyaBalaji
