Ujjwal Kabra’s Education

Visvesvaraya Technological University

B.E. , Information Science and Engineering , 2000 — 2004

Studying at PESIT was a very different experience compared to the usual Engineering college. While people did, and still do, mock PESIT as being a 'school' instead of a 'college', I found that the additional emphasis on discipline brought about an extra focus on the subject matter, and led us to have a deeper knowledge of the subject matter.
