Black Sweater with Grey Jeans and High top VANS shoes(i’d say it was casual) Interview Experience: Walked up to the counter, VO was talking to a person next to her(more like gossiping and laughing). Then she went somewhere and I was standing on the counter for like 3-4 mins. 🔻VO: Good Morning! Pass me your passport and i20 (with a big smile, damn she was really chill) 🔹Me: Good morning!! here is my i20 and passport 🔻VO: So, why do want to come to America? 🔹Me: I am going to NYU to do MS in Cs with specialisation in advance Development. (I also added the answer of ‘WHY US’) I did my research and found out that in India after my undergrad i can go for Mtech, but it seems mtech doesn’t offer courses that i want to do. This course in NYU is offering me - Full stack integration dev, Mobile application Dev, application dev with . Net + Data bases course + course like- Agentic ai, Generative ai, multimodal ai and Machine learning which I did not get to study in my ug and is not available in mtech.

VO : How many unis you applied to? ME : I applied to 3 unis University of Florida, University Washington, Seattle and NYU VO:Do you know anyone from US? ME:Yes! I know my admission counsellor. She helped me with my i20 and whenever i had some kind issue about the uni or about the course i always reached out to her thru email and she always gets back to me in few hours.

I worked on the company's own application ensuring all the modules and all the features are working + I am involved in testing as well and debugging as well.
