Hi, I’m Panchadarla Tejaswini, an AI Engineer at Qualcomm and former Lead AI/ML Engineer at Tektronix. I recently completed my M.Tech in Embedded Controls & Software at IIT Kharagpur (’25), where I entered through GATE CS with a 98.63 percentile, despite coming from a non-CS background. Over the years, I have: Cracked IIT admissions through GATE CS as a branch-switcher. Secured offers from 3+ top companies with high packages. Worked in AI/ML, Embedded Systems, and VLSI domains. Authored 48+ technical articles on GeeksforGeeks in areas like Linux, Cybersecurity, and AI. Won the Intel AI Hackathon 2024 (IEEE INDICON) for my innovation in Structural Health Monitoring. I’ve been on both sides of the journey—preparing for exams and thriving in the industry—and I know how confusing it can be to pick the right path. That’s why I mentor students and professionals on: Cracking GATE CS (especially for non-CS aspirants). Getting into IITs with the right preparation and counseling strategy. Building strong resumes & profiles for top product companies. Preparing for interviews with mock sessions and personalized feedback. I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can transform their career path, just like I did.
