IIT Hyderabad Student Turns Self-Doubt Into Inspiration for Thousands

Sai Poorna is a student from Hyderabad who studies at IIT Hyderabad.

Before the JEE, she studied at home with her brother every night.

She wanted to attend an IIT so she could build a respected and dignified life.

She chose Electrical Engineering even though she had preferred Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence.

Living away from home was difficult at first, but her mother encouraged her to make friends and take initiative.

Sai then joined clubs and projects that help students in rural areas.

She now teaches underprivileged schoolchildren online across Telangana.

Her time at IIT helped her overcome self-doubt and believe that difficult goals can be possible.
