It prepares us with professional challenges with the right blend of Industry as well as Academics that are highly required in an R&D organization. Joining fresh out of college and still having the opportunity to learn and ideate with the right set of guidance is what makes this program special and opens up a lot of avenues for scholars. Being a Scholar allows one to try, fail, learn, succeed, and repeat and the glorious feats achieved by alumni scholars are a true testament to the importance of this program.

The environment that I get here with regards to the learning resources or guidance or the push to explore and experiment with new tools and technologies is highly compatible and just the perfect one for my learning curve.
