🚀 ESE AIR-17, ISRO, Texas Instruments — How did he manage all of this together?

Cracking ESE with AIR-17 is already an incredible achievement.

But what if someone manages to prepare for ESE, handle IIT Madras academics, and crack opportunities like ISRO and Texas Instruments — all together?

In my latest podcast, I sat down with my IIT Madras MTech Integrated Circuits batchmate Hrittik Bania to understand the real story behind this journey.

We spoke about the discipline, planning, and mindset required to manage multiple high-stakes goals simultaneously.

đź’ˇ In this conversation, we discuss:

• How he secured ESE AIR-17 along with Mtech at IIT Madras
• How he balanced ESE preparation with IITM academics
• His journey of cracking ISRO and Texas Instruments
• The time management and strategy behind handling everything together
• Honest advice for GATE/ESE aspirants

For anyone aiming for core engineering roles, PSUs, or semiconductor companies, this conversation has some powerful insights.

What does it really take to go from GATE EC AIR-10 to securing a Mediatek PPO?

I recently hosted my first podcast featuring Lakshmi Sai Krishna Yarru — GATE EC AIR-10, IIT Madras MTech (Integrated Circuits), now heading to Mediatek.

We discussed:

• Strategy behind breaking into Top 10 in GATE
• Building a strong profile in Analog/VLSI
• IIT Madras MTech experience
• What actually matters during core placements
• IIT Tag vs Skills — the honest truth

For anyone preparing for GATE, aiming for IITs, or targeting core semiconductor roles — this conversation is extremely insightful.

If you find such conversations valuable, I’m building this channel to bring more real, unfiltered discussions from IITs and the semiconductor/core ecosystem.

Would genuinely appreciate your support — do subscribe and share with someone who’s preparing for GATE or targeting core placements.

Curious to hear your thoughts:

If you had AIR-10, what would you prioritise — research, PSU, or core industry?
