His love for technology stays undeterred and consistent as he plans to pursue his profession in the same so that moving on he loves what he does. Meet Krrish Agarwal who passed out of Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park in 2024. In a candid interview, he advises all students to stay focused on studies but not miss out on fun too.

What are you pursuing now?
At present, I am pursuing Computer Science from IIT Bhilai. As for my ambition, I always had this inclination towards technology and computers, so as of now I am determined to make a career out of it and trying to explore more stuff as it comes.

How was your faculty like?
Teachers at this school were exceptional, like they were well-versed with their subject of course, ready to entertain all doubts no matter how silly they were, were genuinely supportive in all ways possible and on top of that, they are more than ready to put in extra efforts for the benefit of students.

Share your favourite nostalgia from school.
Well, my favourite memories from the school mostly revolve around my friends with whom I spent most of my time in the class, labs, games period, outside of the school premises as well. Thankfully some of them are still in my contacts. Another memory that I cherish is receiving multiple accolades for the hard work that I have put in, whether it was regarding academics or extra-curricular activities, which constantly motivated me.

Which extracurricular activities did you enjoy the most?
Oh, we had tons of options and opportunities to take part in all kinds of extra-curricular activities, all that one needs is intent. For me personally, I liked being a part of the orchestra for many years and even performed multiple annual day functions. I loved playing sports like skating, basketball and volleyball. I used to practise regularly with the best of the teachers and also got the opportunity to represent my school in multiple competitions as well.

Advice for the present students at school.
The best advice that I can give you as a passout is, apart from focusing on your academics, which should be your priority, make memories, enjoy these golden moments, do the stuff that fascinates you even if it’s unorthodox, as time flies and life after school years change a lot.
