Seeta, a mechanical engineer, obtained a BE (Mech) degree from Pravara Rural Engineering College at Loni (Ahmednagar) securing 67 per cent marks in her final year exam.

Talking to Newsline, Seeta said, "I read about a lady officer when I was in Class 10. Prior to that, I wanted to be an IPS officer, but there was no guidance. It was after reading the article in the newspaper that I decided to join the Army."

Seeta's father Ashok Bhikaji Shelke, who has studied Law, is a farmer and practises law at Parner, a taluka place. Her mother is a homemaker and Seeta has three sisters, Geetanjali who has done MCS and is married, Anuradha, a student of final year Mechanical Engineering and Yogini whos is Class XI.

Interviews at Apex Careers, where she received guidance from Lt Col (Retd) Pradeep Brahmankar, Cdr P K Banerjee and Hrishikesh Apte.
