Learnings & Reflections

GPT 3.5 came in November 2022, and it changed the course of my journey. Over the next 1.5 years I realised that I was just doing the surface works like writing ML pipelines, or integrating GenAI features to some platform, etc primarily by relying on LLMs code generation capabilities, instead of self-thinking. So I decided to pursue a theoretical research career in ML in order to learn the fundamentals of the field.

2018 — 2022 (Graduation)

Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering

Jadavpur University, Kolkata
Year Engineering Rank University Rank
2017 9 5
2023 10 4

India Rankings (NIRF)

Institute ranks under 10 in the country around my graduation.

CGPA: 8.4/10

Gained quality education in the field of Electrical Engineering and statistical foundations which later on became framework for my career as ML researcher. Electives included Advanced Instrumentation (Measurements), Analysis of Measurement Data, and Artificial Intelligence which developed my keen interest in the field of Machine Learning.

Learnings & Reflections

Developed a systems-thinking approach. The transition from physical electrical circuits to computational neural networks was my most significant takeaway.

It was during this journey that I realized the importance of having a good guide to learn from and the option of choosing a great one was waiting for me in the future.
