Devanshi Sood is all of 18 and all set to fly out to the US next month to pursue the course of her dreams. Sood studied PCME (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics) at Heritage Xperiential School, Gurugram, and has opted for a four-year bachelor’s in Computational Media at the Georgia Institute of Technology, US. “This degree will offer me room to experiment,” she says, “and help me with my interest in environment technology, a subject for which there is a huge market in the US.” Sood is choosing to go west because the subject she is primarily interested in pursuing is not available in India, and it also allows her to explore her interests in diverse subjects. “I like science and computers,” she says, “but also literature and political science.”
ISHA JAIN, 17, Delhi
GOING FOR: Bachelor's of Science in Bioengineering, Stanford University, US
WHY SHE WANTS TO GO "Being interested in a range of subjects, I want the freedom to explore my interests in depth, something Stanford offers through its experiential and hands-on pedagogy. My interest in entrepreneurship will also be fuelled by the start-up culture in the US"
