Sohini Shukla

When my father asked me to join DY Patil Design College Pune, I was furious. I wanted to study abroad because I believed colleges in the US offered better education. My friend had taken admission and was flaunting. I felt really sad that I ended up in my home country. After completing my graduation from DY Patil Pune Design Institute I was offered a good role in an MNC. To my shock, I am my friend’s team leader. Even though she studied abroad, I had better job prospects, thanks to DY Patil.
