Prajwal Samrit, son of a Kargil martyr, is set to join the prestigious Indian Military Academy (IMA) at Dehradun as gentlemen cadet. He had cracked CAT entrance test and got seats in two IIMs. But Prajwal, 23, did not have second thoughts in opting for IMA. Prajwal made the courageous decision to honor his father’s dream and serve in the army.
Residing in Pulgaon tehsil of Wardha district, Prajwal lives with his mother, Sarita, and elder brother, Kunal, who works in Pune after completing his MTech. Prajwal has excelled academically since his school days, achieving a remarkable 97.51 percentile in the CAT exam for MBA.
Although he secured admission to prestigious IIMs, he felt compelled to pursue a career in the Indian Army. Having completed his BSc Electronics from Fergusson College, Pune, Prajwal successfully passed the SSB exam and cleared the medical examination required for the Indian Army.
He has been accepted into the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun, where he will commence an 18-month training programme in the first week of July. Upon completion, he will serve the country as a lieutenant in the Indian Army.
