Squadron Leader Shivum Uppal

Today, I have put in more than 8 years of service towards Nation flying MiG-21. I joined Chitkara University in June 2004 and immediately realised that it’s my new family from morning 0900-1700h. The lush green gardens, the state of the art standing tall buildings coming up and a happy atmosphere all around was enough for anyone to adapt easily in the Campus. In these 04 amazing years, I could witness this great institute changing every single day from good to better and best. The professors, administration staff, cafeteria staff, lab assistants and everyone in the whole big chain always created a comfortable environment for the students and that’s why I could strive for success. I, with some hard work and more of the Faculty support & guidance was selected for Infosys in 2007.

Having graduated in 2008, appeared in CDSE exam and cleared the SSB process and got selected in Indian Air Force & got commissioned as “Fighter Pilot of Indian Air Force in year 2010”.
Yes, the life is totally different from what I graduated in and what I am today but no knowledge goes waste and that’s why I am the IT officer in-charge of my squadron and that is only because of my learning in CSE which was imparted in me by the esteemed Chitkara staff. I thank Chitkara University for giving me 04 great years of my life which were full of happy memories. Thank you and keep rising Chitkara Alumni Network because for Chitkarian’s even sky is not the limit.

Jai Hind!
