National Institute of Technology, Allahabad

Bachelor of Technology, Computer Science and Engineering

The Foundation

The NIT Allahabad (aka MNNIT: Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology) is the foundation on which my whole career has been built. Specialising in Computer Science and Engineering here transformed me from a complete noob in technology to somebody ready to take up software engineering as a career. This foundation is still helpful even though I have transitioned to the product side of things now.

Joined the institute by scoring 19th rank among over 96,000 entrance examination candidates and Graduated top 10% of class

My time at MNNIT was not just all about academics, but also about a lot of extra-curricular activities and leadership. I was one of the core coordinators of our National Level Tech-Fest Avishkar and Quiz-fest Gnosiomania. I also represented the institute in inter-collegiate competitions winning multiple prizes in programming contests, quizzing, and Dumb Charades at IIT Kanpur, IIT-BHU Varanasi and NIT Allahabad.

I know Amit for last 10 years and things which makes him stand out from the rest is his dedication and perseverance for any task he lays his hand open. Due to his multitasking ability, Amit always retained a spot in top 10% of the class while being actively involved in numerous co-cirricular activities such as organization of quizzes, social events, technical fest etc. His organizational & leadership abilities are also highlighted from his meteoric rise to Area governor for Toastmasters for one of the largest districts in India. Amit is one of those few persons who knows what he wants and gives his 100% to get it. I am a witness to Amit's ever expanding repertoire and I am confident that Amit's stint at Emory will make him an even better team-member & leader. Highly recommended.

Amit is an intelligent person, who made the use of opportunities on his way to hone himself and develop a well-rounded personality. He is passionate about whatever he does, gives back to the community and keeps achieving and growing. He has exhibited ability to achieve the best and organize his activities to focus his energies towards his goal. The acuity of understanding complex situations/concepts and sharing the knowledge with others, are the attributes which set him apart. During four years of study at MNNIT, his performance was brilliant both in Academics and Extra-curricular activities. And he has been consistent performer post-bachelor studies. I wish him all the luck for MBA at Emory and I am confident that he will set an example for his peers and friends.

A bright student who always finished at the top of the rank charts. He had a great command over Computer science fundamentals and his ability to make people understand the most difficult of topics with consummate ease was a gift. On the lighter side he is a great singer and a affable wing mate. I really admired the way he handled/conducted the college tech fest as CS core team member.
