POONAM KUMAR - Instrumentation (1990-1993)

Well if you believe in mixing business with pleasure then RCAPS is the place to be. When one leaves school, he/she is looking forward to the college years of freedom and fun, a getaway from the strict regime of school. So like every other fresher this is how I pictured my college days to be. Little did I know that my dream was one dimensional and the remaining dimensions of the reality was yet to be seen. CAPS ( as it was then called) was my parents dream come true as it coupled a professional degree in a school like atmosphere alongwith with the fact that it was a girls college. Although I had my inhibitions for just the same reasons ( the school like discipline) it gradually disappeared when I became a part of this college. The four years spent here have been the most valuable to me both professionally and personally. I wouldn't say that it has been a joy ride all through but rather a journey where I had to work hard to get what I want and where I learned how to balance my studies and fun; so that when I came out of college I was more confident, career focussed and definitely ready to face the challenges of life.
