Shelly Mehandiratta
(Batch 2014-17, B. Sc. (Hons) Mathematics)
It has been 5 years since I left SBSC, and I have constantly felt the effect this place had on my personality as well as on my career path. SBSC helped me build a strong foundation in Mathematics and develop a range of interpersonal skills. I interacted with experienced faculty and peers who inspired and challenged me. The flexible curriculum allowed me to pursue other interests, including language skills (particularly German), which led to admission and a scholarship in a renowned German university. I completed my Masters in Applied Mathematics with a focus on Insurance Mathematics and currently work as an Associate at KPMG, Germany.
Kuwari Mahanta
(Batch 2012-15, B. Sc. (Hons) Mathematics)
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at IIT Guwahati. Delhi was new to me, but I found a home in friends and immense support from SBSC professors. A piece of advice from Ms. Jyoti Varshney Ma’am – “focus on the top of the mountain” – still guides me. The faculty were proactive and nurturing, helping bridge the academic gap from school to college. SBSC’s GANITAM festival helped hone my social and managerial skills. Seniors were always ready with guidance, creating a wholesome environment. My time at SBSC deeply shaped who I am today.
Mahesh Mantri
(Batch 2016-19, B. Sc. (Hons) Mathematics)
My 3-year journey at SBSC was transformative. The course catalyzed both personal and professional development. I pursued an M.Sc. in Mathematics from IIT Kanpur and now work at ICICI Lombard as an Associate Data Scientist. The professors went above and beyond in their support. Even after graduation, they remain approachable for academic and career advice. The SBSC environment offered a worldview beyond academics, and I feel fortunate to be part of such a community.
Chaintanya Kumaria
(Batch 2019-22, B. Sc. (Hons) Mathematics)
For me, studying Mathematics (Hons) at SBSC was a pilgrimage. I matured as a person, made lifelong friends, and was guided by inspiring faculty. I served as General Secretary of the Mathematics Society, organizing two GANITAMs and the National Mathematics Conference. I also founded the Alumni Association, organizing the first alumni meet. These experiences developed my leadership and teamwork skills, which contributed to my academic and co-curricular success. Thank you, SBSC, for the unforgettable journey.
