Very nice thoughts and good guidance. I have also quit my job after working 3½ years, the job I had been placed at campus after my BTech in Mech. I have got good hands-on manufacturing knowledge in my hands. Now I am taking a rest at home and trying to figure out what is worth doing for me. Seems like some of my thoughts resonate with yours - the amalgamation of technology and medical sciences in where my interest lies (esp designing medical devices)

IISC prefers south indian over others.

[@newbiekhyber]

No you are wrong. More than 25% of IISc students are Bengalis. The difference is in Bengal there is no herd mentality for IIT-JEE, CAT or Civil Services. Bengal is only state where a scientist is respected as much as an engineer, if not more. There are many examples of aspirants preferring to study science, despite IIT admits. More than 50% of researchers in India in basic science are Bengalis. Bengalis prefer IISc or ISI to IITs or IIMs. Bengalis don't take admission in JNU so that they can get a place to stay in Delhi (hostel) while preparing for UPSC (and wasting a seat on taxpayers money). They'd go to JNU for actually studying their subject of interest.
