Who I am

I am who I am because of what my institution (IIT KGP) made me. Many there refer to it as a home away from home or second home but for me who was a hosteller since 8th grade, this was my first home. This place taught me confidence, self-reliance, patience, and the art of never giving up. It has a very good faculty, a curriculum matching today's industrial needs, a good reputation among the populace, and beyond all an amazing alumni network. Once a Kgpian, always a Kgpian.
