It was a nice session with Ms. Sowmya. The way she explained everything was very clear and easy to understand. She suggested some plans, and I am planning to follow them. I would like to continue taking her sessions to clarify more topics. Thanks, Sowmya, for being such a good mentor.

Had a really productive session with her. What stood out was how structured and to-the-point everything was. She didn’t just answer questions but also gave clarity on how to approach preparation overall. Very calm, patient, and insightful. Definitely a valuable session.

About me
I am a Materials Engineer with a strong academic and technical background in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. I am currently pursuing my M.Tech at IIT Madras holding a CGPA of 9.91 and will be joining Skyroot Aerospace as an Engineer in Materials Science. My journey in this field has been shaped by consistent academic excellence and deep engagement with both research and industry.
I am a five-time GATE Metallurgy top rank holder (AIR 85 – 2022, AIR 35 – 2023, AIR 32 – 2024, AIR 20 – 2025, AIR 4 - 2026), which has given me a strong understanding of the preparation strategies, conceptual depth, and discipline required to succeed in competitive examinations. I have also cleared the BARC interview leading to final selection and reached the final merit list after clearing the DRDO Scientist interview.
Alongside academics, I have gained industry and research exposure through roles at organizations such as Ola Electric, HAL Foundry & Forge Division (Internship), and research work at IIT Madras in the Electronic Materials & Thin Film Lab, where I have extensively worked on printed electronic devices and gas sensors, contributing to publications and a provisional patent.
Through this platform, my goal is to make quality guidance accessible to Metallurgy and Materials Engineering students. I aim to help students prepare more effectively for GATE, technical interviews, and career decisions through practical insights, structured preparation strategies, and personalized mentoring.
Sowmmya Venkatesh is an impactful educator, known for excellent communication, patience, and talent, highly recommended for GATE preparation.
