Academics
I'd not claim myself to be a genius in academics but i do with passion what i like. Here are some of the details.
Well I liked to perform well in various competitive exams some time back (though i've changed that habit now :) )
i was an NTSE (national level scholarship exam conducted by NCERT) scholar and was also topper in MTS exam and second in BTS - for those who know it
i was a KVPY fellow in science stream SA in 2003 (11 and 12 std)
i was among the top 250 or so selected in the Physics and Chemistry Olympiad for the 2nd stages (INCHO & INPHO)
I did my SSC (high schooling) from Little Flower's English High School, Nallasopara near Mumbai and HSC from Bhavan's College, Andheri, Mumbai both from Maharashtra Board.
After that i spent an year at VNIT (Visweshraya National Institute of Technology), Nagpur studying Computer Science.
There's a small story why i wasn't vey happy with CSE @ VNIT despite my interest in computing.
Anyway, i reappeared for IIT-JEE without much practise and as destiny would have it i qualified again with somewhat better rank than the previous year, and ended up joining the Dual Degree programme at Aerospace Dept., IIT Bombay since i did not want to join other conventional streams (Civil, Mech, Elec, Chem, ...)
In my tenure at IIT Bombay, i have learnt a lot about Aerospace Engineering and also did a lot of other things. I'm very much into programming and have taken a lot of courses on computing for fluid mechanics and analytical courses.
Here's a list of PG electives i have taken
CFD (Introductory)
Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws
Finite Element Method (offered in mechanical dept.)
State Space Methods for Flight Vehicles
Particle Methods for Fluid Flow
Hypersonic Flow Theory
Computing High Speed Flows
Optimization (offered in in chemical dept.)
At the end of 8th semester my CPI (cumulative point index) or CGPA is 8.57
