In March 2023, Rustomjee Cambridge witnessed a moment of immense pride as Nelson Mehta, one of its brightest students, achieved a remarkable feat. Nelson’s outstanding performance at the A-Level exam earned him the prestigious opportunity to pursue his dreams at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution in the USA. As Nelson accepts a full-tuition scholarship for the 5-year undergraduate engineering programme with modified economics, he not only secures a promising future for himself but also brings immense joy to his parents by saving them a whopping Rs 2.5 crores in tuition fees.

Dartmouth College, with its rich academic history and commitment to excellence, has always been a dream for many ambitious students around the world. Nelson’s acceptance into this renowned institution is a testament to his dedication, hard work, and exceptional intellect. As an alumnus of Dartmouth myself, I am filled with immense pride to witness Nelson becoming the first student from Rustomjee Cambridge to be part of this prestigious Ivy League.

It is essential to acknowledge the significant role played by Himanshu Dev, who guided Nelson throughout this journey, helping him channel his potential and excel in his studies. The collective efforts of the entire Rustomjee Cambridge community have played a pivotal role in Nelson’s success, highlighting the importance of collaboration and support in nurturing young minds to reach their full potential.
