# ⭐ From No Phone to B.Tech CSE — My Real Journey Into Tech Growing up, I never imagined I would end up in Computer Science. Honestly, during school, I wasn’t even aware what “CSE” or “IT” meant. But I was always that kid who felt strangely connected to technology — even when I didn’t have access to it. --- ## **My First Smartphone: The Moment Everything Started** I come from a simple, decent family. Till 8th class, we didn’t even have a smartphone mobile phone at home. Then one day, I got my **first smartphone** as a gift. And trust me - that moment felt like I unlocked a new level of life. With that phone came the internet. And with internet came a whole new world. Back then, internet wasn’t cheap. So whenever I found any hotspot or free WiFi, I used to grab it like a survival instinct. Even those small 1GB or 2GB recharges felt like gold. And slowly, I became **that guy** in my society: * the guy who can find any movie * the guy who can download any song * the guy who knows all PSP Android games * the guy who’ll fix your phone * the guy who loves exploring tech nobody talks about Technology wasn’t my subject, It was my playground. ## **No Guidance, Just Curiosity** After 10th, I scored well — especially in maths. But when it came to choosing a path, I had absolutely no guidance. No one in my entire family had ever completed graduation. My parents had studied only till primary school, so like most students in small towns, I had to figure things out on my own. Me and two of my close friends — all good in Maths — finally decided to take **Science (Maths)** in 11th. Not because we had a plan, but simply because it felt like the “right” thing to do. No roadmap. No mentorship. Just curiosity and a little bit of self-belief. 12th turned out to be a complete game-changer. I got my first 4G smartphone, and with Jio’s cheap internet, it felt like I suddenly had superpowers. The internet, which once felt rare and expensive, now felt unlimited. And I became unstoppable. That’s when I truly went into **full tech-explorer mode** — rooting phones, installing custom ROMs, learning small bits of coding, understanding how Android works, even peeking into the basics of the dark web. I wasn’t studying tech from a textbook. I was *living* it, experimenting with it, breaking things and fixing them again, just because I loved it. --- ## **COVID & My First Step Into Programming** After 12th, COVID hit. The world slowed down, classes shifted online, streets went silent — but for some reason, my curiosity didn’t stop with everything else. One day, sitting at home with too much free time and zero idea about the future, I thought: **“Chal programming try karte hain.”** So I picked up Python. For a while, everything felt new and exciting… then slowly, the excitement faded. I got bored. And eventually, I stopped. But something strange happened — even after quitting, the idea didn’t leave me. Somewhere in the back of my mind, one thought kept repeating: **“I want to do** [**B.Tech**](http://B.Tech) **CSE. Programming is something I want in my life.”** And honestly, I think quitting once made me even more sure of what I actually wanted. Sometimes stepping away shows you the direction more clearly than moving forward. --- ## **JEE Main: Zero Coaching, Fully Self-Study** I first heard about the JEE Main exam from one of my friends. Honestly, I didn’t even know what it really was at that time — just that it sounded like one of those big, scary exams only “toppers” attempt. But still, all of us decided to give it a try. No perfect plan, no coaching, nothing fancy. Just three confused students with a little ambition and a lot of hope. We prepared the only way we knew: through self-study. YouTube videos, NCERT books, late-night grinding, and thousands of doubts in between. There were days when everything felt easy and days when nothing made sense. But we kept going. My family may be semi-literate, but they are incredibly sensible. They trusted me fully, supported every decision I made, and never once questioned why I wanted to take a harder path. Finally, I appeared for JEE Main. My marks weren’t extraordinary - but they were decent. Decent enough to earn me a **fee-waiver seat**. And that one moment changed everything. It felt like life was giving me a chance, a doorway to step into the world I had always been curious about. Without thinking twice, I grabbed that opportunity. And that’s how I finally stepped into [**B.Tech**](http://B.Tech) **CSE** - not by luck, not by a perfect plan, but by curiosity, self-learning, and a lot of small decisions that led me here. --- ## **Looking Back — Everything Makes Sense Now** When I look back: * A kid with no smartphone till 8th * Became the tech guy of his area * Explored phones, internet, rooting, coding * Fought with lack of guidance * Prepared for JEE on his own * Earned a seat in CSE * Started his real tech journey Everything connects. Choosing [B.Tech](http://B.Tech) CSE wasn’t a planned decision. It was a natural result of years of curiosity, struggle, and small opportunities that changed my path. And honestly? **I’m proud of where I started. I’m excited about where I’m heading. This is just the beginning.**
