Education gives a way only.

BUT, You Know!

Mountaineers Don't need a way at all.


My father is a teacher. So I have a family in which education is everything and that is why the image of education what is made in my mind right from my childhood is:-

The education is to get knowledge of a subject so that you can implement it in your life to do something constructive.

I never try to chase better score sheets of the examination while learning the subject because I think one can do anything if he really knows the subject but if he has only the bookish knowledge he may pass the examination with better numbers but he could not do much in real life as he doesn't really enjoy the subject. But if you try to learn it then only you can enjoy it and your mind becomes innovative.

Till higher secondary My education took place at Seoni-Malwa {a town in Hoshangabad District (MP)}. I passed my middle school classes from Nalanda School. Then until higher secondary I was at Govt. Boy's Higher Secondary. After that I came to Indore for my graduation and yet I am here studying in D.A.V.V.

I am very very grateful to these educational institutes as they make me what I am. I can never forget their contribution to build my knowledge and personality.


 Primary Education:-

Top

In my primary classes my results were good I got merit scholarship in main board examinations of class FIFTH and EIGHTH my results were respectively 95% and 91%at that time there was not any lengthy syllabus so I don't find any problem to get good marks while learning the subject deeply and even I got enough time to prepare myself for social activities such as speech, extempore, essay writing, drama, singing and so many other things.

Class Fifth199095% {Second in merit of District}
Class Eighth199391% {Scholarship on merit bases}

Extra Activities:-

Speech & ExtemporeSecond rank in the state (m.p.) and many more certificates of first ranks
ScoutCommissioner Flag in scout camp
Essay, Story & Article writingA lots of certificates for writing essays stories and articles

 Higher Secondry:-

When I came to the higher secondary standard I was attracted to the world of Physics specially towards "Theory of Relativity", "Basic particles and Atomic theory", "Quantum theory" and Electronics. In Mathematics I was attracted to the "Boolean algebra", "Matrices", "Probability" and "Switching circuits". And thus my interest increases towards Programing electronic circuits and the Computer programs. Due to the deep study of these subjects I couldn't concentrate on my syllabus so the graph of my examination results rapidly decreased.

Class Tenth199575% 
Class Twelfth199757%

Extra Activities:-

Discretion Seventh rank in the state (m.p.) and many certificates of first ranks in District and Division
N.C.C. "A" certificate with 'B' grade and title of "The best cadet of school"
Story & Article writing First rank in open article writing competition for 15-60 age group

 Graduation:-

After my school I tried Pre-Engineering Test [PET] just after my school examination but I could only secure Mechanical as my branch of study. But I wanted to study Electronics or Computers so I decided to join B.Sc. [Comp.Sc.] for my further studies. I began to study for my Degree course at I.K.D.C. [Islamia Karimia Degree College] in D.A.V.V. [Devi Ahilya University] Indore (M.P.). I used following books to study these subjects.

 Post Graduation:-

Top

During my graduation I realized a fact that I have my own style of study and my preferences (the weightage given to any subject) dose not match with the preferences of any of the common students so it seemed to me that it is better for me to study for myself than to study in a classroom. Due to these reasons I chose IGNOU for my MCA.
