Cracking GATE, Breaking Barriers: Ashritha’s Journey to IISc and NVIDIA | Education

In Frame: Ashritha Mula, GATE 2022 AIR 36

Ashritha—a young woman from a remote village—has made her parents proud by securing an outstanding package at an MNC. With big dreams in her eyes, she kept working toward her goal until she finally achieved it. Her story is a true example of what sheer grit and determination look like! Even after facing numerous obstacles, Ashrita didn’t back off—and that’s what led to her milestone.

In the beginning, she wasn’t sure of her future goals–so she enrolled in BTech in a private engineering college at her friend’s suggestion. Unlike many of her peers, Ashritha was inclined towards the field of hardware.

Thus, she decided to clear GATE to bag a MTech seat in Indian Institute of Science. However, the path was quite difficult and she secured a rank of approximately 3,000. But Ashritha wasn’t raised to give up easily—she was determined to study harder and secure a remarkable rank. To make this happen, she joined a private coaching academy in Karimnagar in 2020.

After months of hard work and devotion, Ashritha decided to appear for GATE in 2022. Owing to her unwavering determination—this time—she bagged an All India Rank (AIR) 36. Her splendid performance earned her job opportunities from well-known institutions like DRDO, BARC, ISRO and NPCIL. However, she knew what she worked hard for. Thus, she enrolled for an M. Tech in VLSI at IISc Bangalore with the objective of deepening her expertise in hardware.

Ashritha’s decision turned out to be wise as she was employed by the multinational company NVIDIA with an attractive package of Rs.52 lakh per annum. This achievement caught her parents–who had no formal education and only relied on agriculture their entire lives—off guard.

Her father—who stood by her through thick and thin, expressed extreme happiness and pride in her accomplishments.

Ashritha’s story is full of inspiration for those who want to make a career in a specific field but are struggling. Her perseverance teaches everyone to stay calm, focus on their career and keep working until you get desired results!

The fact that she didn’t join any public sector undertaking despite getting tempting offers shows her will power. Her goal was to get a MTech degree and she didn’t stop until she achieved it.
