While Ms. Supraja was in her final year of engineering, her father passed away and mother Saroja is a homemaker. Despite financial constraints, she completed her graduation in flying colours by bagging the best engineering student gold medal, best outgoing girl student in all branches, and best academic performance.

She not only topped her EEE branch with 9.14 CGPA score, but also topped students from all the departments in the university. Receiving the gold medals and degree certificate from the Governor was an ecstatic experience for her and parents’ dream fulfilled, she said

Currently, employed with the TCS to support her family, Ms. Supraja aspires to involve in an innovative electronics project. While her plans are not finalised, she is determined to do something big and do the university pride. She takes inspiration from DRDO Chairman G. Sateesh Reddy.
