2025: A Year of Exams, Excellence, and Evolution Hi, I am Mayur Gund welcoming you at Mayur's Tech Journey. As the curtains fall on 2025, I look back at a year that was defined by grit, transitions, and the discovery of my true passion. From the silent halls of exam centers to the vibrant development labs of Sanjivani, this year has been an unforgettable journey of growth. The Rigorous Start: The year 2025 began with intense pressure. Every student in India knows the weight of the last week of January—the JEE Mains . My preparation was rigorous, and on 12th February, I received my first boost: a 83 percentile in JEE Mains. While I was still processing this, the HSC Board exams arrived in the same month, requiring a complete shift in focus from entrance logic to descriptive writing. The Frustrating Peak: MHT-CET and Mock A March was perhaps the most challenging month of the year. It was a period of constant mock tests. The frustration of stagnant scores and the repeti...
From Rural Roots to Cyber Dreams: My Journey Towards Tech
How I decided to dive into tech :
Hi, I’m Mayur — a small-town student with big dreams and an unshakable passion for technology.
My journey with tech started way before I ever touched a line of code.
Back in class 10, my father bought our family’s first smartphone. For most people, it was just a device — but for me, it was a window into a new world. I was fascinated by how different apps worked together, how software managed complex tasks with smooth coordination. That moment lit a spark in me.
Later, when I reached class 11, I received a Samsung Tab A7 — provided by Mahajyoti, a supportive government initiative. With that tablet, I finally had a personal digital gateway. I started exploring the internet deeply — learning about AI, software, and the mind-blowing power of technology to both create and destroy.
That’s when I decided: I want to become a computer engineer.
My background :
Coming from a rural background, I didn’t have many resources. No mentors, no guidance, not even fast internet. Financial limits made everything harder. Most of the time, I walked this path alone — but I kept walking.
For two full years, I prepared hard for the MHT-CET exam, dreaming of getting into one of Maharashtra’s top engineering colleges through the TFWS quota. And I made it — I scored 99.07 percentile.
But even with a tuition waiver, I couldn't afford living in cities like Pune or Mumbai. The financial burden was too heavy.
So I made a courageous decision — I’ll pursue my dream from where I am. I’m now going to take admission in Sanjivani College of Engineering, Kopargaon (Ahmednagar, Maharashtra) — a local rural college.
Because I believe it’s not the college that builds your future — it’s your mindset.
💡 What’s Next?
Even before college began, I refused to sit idle. I launched this blog, experimented with AI tools like ChatGPT, and created creative QR codes for digital engagement.
My mission is clear:
🔹 Become a skilled software developer
🔹 Build my dream project — DarkShield, a cybersecurity service to protect young minds from the dark side of the internet
This blog is not just about tech. It’s about resilience, curiosity, and growing despite limits. I’ll share my wins, failures, projects, and learnings here — raw and real.
🌱 If You Relate...
If you’re building your dream from scratch — without shortcuts, without privilege — this space is for you.
Welcome to Mayur’s Tech Journey. We’re just getting started.
