Journey from  K.K Wagh to Current Position:

Journey from K.K.Wagh to my current scenario has been a wonder ride. I've always been a big advocate of my college's contribution to my life. My mentor Mr. Jaydeep Shah, My college's staff and team have been instrumental in my journey. 

From a boy with over 99% attendance in every subject, a nerd who didn't do anything but studies , a student who had nothing but studies in his mind to a boy who went onto participating in competitions at various places across India and today, has been ranked as one of the top 100 professionals around the world under the age of 30 in books such as '30&Under' authored by Peter Cuderman and has been ranked as one of the top 13 emerging communication skills coaches by 'PeopleMaven'. Such a transformation wouldn't have been anywhere near possible hadn't it been for K.K.Wagh.

Contribution of K.K.Wagh in my Career:

K.K.Wagh contributed immensely to my life. Whether it was getting the basics of engineering right in the first year of my engineering life through our teachers or it was supporting my extra- curricular activities which needed the staff's permission and guidance, K.K.Wagh always stood by me and always helped me when it was needed. I never went to a single tuition or class in my entire engineering life but still had an aggregate of around 80% throughout my four year tenure, All Thanks to my amazing teachers! I could never forget your teachings.

My mentor Jaydeep Shah Sir guided me and mentored me for public speaking and other competitions, My HOD Milind Murugkar Sir and the entire department were always behind me when it was needed. They were truly awesome! Principal Keshav Nandurkar Sir and the entire college team whether it was the admin or other support staff, Everyone was like one BIG family. A family like no other. A family which always tool care of it's members no matter what.

Memorable events in K.K.Wagh :

K.K.Wagh gave me some of the most memorable moments of my life. Whether it was the annual function or the department level competitions, My college's event always had the spark and the opportunity to present our skills in front of others. I distinctly remember teachers taking classes even though there might be only a couple of students present in the class.

The importance of studies for the college is unparalleled. I could also never forget the amount of immense support my teachers, HOD and Principal gave me when it was needed. The days were simply as they call it 'Golden'. I could never forget how great an influence K.K.Wagh had on me.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this honour, It feels an absolute pleasure. K.K.Wagh is truly one of the best colleges out there and it's support and encouragement has been really amazing.
