IIT Delhi engineer quits Intel, cracks ISRO Scientist ‘A’ with AIR 7
Hemant Kumar Bhukar, an IIT Delhi graduate who worked as a semiconductor design engineer at Intel for nearly three years, has secured All India Rank 7 in the recruitment process for Scientist 'A' at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He prepared for the competitive selection while working his full-time job, studying early mornings, evenings and weekends. According to The Times of India and Economic Times reports, Bhukar's journey from Gothra Bhukran village in Rajasthan's Sikar district to Intel and then ISRO highlights that corporate experience does not hinder but strengthens preparation for government research roles.
Bhukar completed his BTech and MTech in Semiconductors at IIT Delhi before joining Intel. His father, Shishpal Bhukar, is an Additional Chief Engineer in Rajasthan's Public Works Department, and his mother, Sushila, is a homemaker. His achievement has become a source of inspiration for students from smaller towns and rural backgrounds.
