Prafulla Dhariwal: From Pune prodigy to brain behind GPT-40

A student of P Jog Junior College, Dhariwal's exceptional performance earned him the prestigious Abasaheb Naravne Memorial Award, a recognition instituted by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) to honor meritorious students from the science stream. He then scored 190 in the Maharashtra Technical Common Entrance Test (MT-CET) and scored 330 out of 360 in the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE-Mains).

Dhariwal aspired to pursue engineering and had his sights set on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a decision influenced by the comprehensive scholarship offered by the institution, covering both tuition fees and residential facilities.

When asked about his plans, Dhariwal, at that time, had told Mid-Day newspaper: "I have not decided yet. I will only focus on studies. After finishing my engineering, I would like to join the research sector where I will get an opportunity to create something useful."
